I picked some Washington navels for a friend. They are sooo delicious!!! And they don’t call them navel oranges for nothing – this one is an outie for sure 🙂 More signs of life… The transplanted grass looks really sad, but on second glance, there are green shoots near the roots – yay! And the […]

This weeks challenge is brought to us by Margaret Bremner, using her tangle “Dansk”. When I saw the tangle, I thought “hair”, so this is what I drew:

The first time I ever tried cross stitching, DH was dumbfounded. He was amazed that anyone could just sit for so long and stitch X’s repeatedly. That was 25 years ago, and he has learned not to make such off hand remarks regarding my artsy craftsy endeavors. I still have my Thanksgiving sampler to complete, […]

For whatever reason, my printer wasn’t printing on photo/stock paper, so DH switched printers with me – yay! So, I decided to have some fun and print out some paper crafts at The Toymaker. I have her paper toy book, and spent last year with her “A Year Of Toys And Joys ” Calendar. Anyhow, […]

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was participating in a Heart swap. DH is originally from Croatia, and they have the most delightful custom of giving loved ones Licitar hearts. They are traditionally made of honey dough, but I decided to do a variation on it for the swap, and make them from […]

I had another session in my lampwork studio. Sometimes, I try something new, and it turns out well. This time, so-so… most of the beads didn’t make the cut. It’s really hard to see what the bead will look like when it’s red hot in the flame, until it cools. So, I have two bead […]

Recently, I came across a group of very interesting bloggers. They are into everything vintage and artsy. In fact, I was able to join a Valentine heart swap over at Cozy Blanket (more on that on another post). Anyway, their activities peaked my interest, and the other day during running errands, I looked in at […]

Ok, I decided that as long as I was in the “creative” mode, I was going to try some crafts new to me. And needle felting is new to me. I purchased the supplies some time back with the best intentions of making something. Well, I finally sat down and did it. When I am […]

My neighbor has an amazing Salted Orange Wheat Beer Caramel in her line of products that she has available at SunnysideLOCAL (I blogged about SunnysideLOCAL HERE). I must say that it is the best caramel I have ever had – DH and my daughter also agree. It’s made with organic ingredients and local orange wheat […]
