So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

The past few months have been a whirlwind ’round these parts. Due to the digi-cam being killed by my cat from hell, there haven’t been pictures… I did dig out the 35mm camera (a rather nice one, at that) and dust it off. Hopefully I’ll get those pic developed before the kids graduate from college!
This [...]

In an effort to keep my mind from wandering to the current stress of life, I’m crocheting an afgan.
I’ve found that the movement it kind of like saying a rosary - the methodical motion calms my nerves and centers me. I need a lot of that these days.
Since I figured that I make enough weird [...]

I haven’t written in a while. I got a little scared off and a lot pissed off.
See, it seems that my blog was referenced in court a few months ago by someone who’s got an ax to grind with me. Seems’ that I’m too lax of an educator… all because of one post about the [...]

If you’ve been in my house more then once you will notice something.
I have a problem. Now, some may find it rather serious, but those who really love me just roll their eyes and go along with it.
I move furniture.
Now, maybe that doesn’t seem like much… but you see, I don’t keep things in the [...]

The advent of the blog is a big thing in my world… I am an avid reader and people watcher – and blogs are the perfect way to fill both those desires! Some of my favorite blogs contain pictures of living spaces of the bloggers. How I love looking at each tiny detail [...]

OK, so it’s not the best picture…
the kids broke my dressmaking dummy a couple months ago,
making it kind of hard to show off clothing without the kids wearing it.
But all that aside, this is Kater’s 8th Birthday Dress.
I even did a zipper, and I don’t like to do zippers.
The print includes little Mandarin jackets, [...]

I missed posting again yesterday…
Today we moved some shelves around…
we needed better sewing & crafting storage.
I’ll post pictures of that when it’s actually done!
We did get the “Nature Center” revamped.
Special thanks to Kater for taking the pictures!

I forgot to post a picture last night…
I was high on paint fumes, and mad at my MIL who insisted that we all have dinner, that she’d pay if we just ordered the food, and then bailed without even bothering to call – after we’d spent $55 on the food she told us to order [...]
