This afternoon I drove this beast around the field: While my dad loaded it with bales of cornstalks using the skid loader. It is really not a glamorous truck at all. In fact, at some point in its recent history it has been used as a party pad for raccoons. They seem to have taken …
My friend Tini has a new podcast out! Go listen! This is another print that I would love to have. Because, you know, someone living out of a storage unit (Mind you I didn’t say in a storage unit! That’s a whole other level!) really needs another print to frame. Still, a girl can dream …
Anyone who has read this blog for a while knows that I am a fan of color. Not subtle, “that’s the perfect shade of ecru” kind of color loving rather the balls-to-the-wall Mardi Gras parade of colors loving. I am a color slut. Here is my current WIP, a baby scrapghan. (Note the lack of …

So, Christmas is fast approaching. For anyone not believing me, just go into any department store and check-out the Christmas displays and music piping from the ceilings. Christmas is on it’s way people! This year, Christmas isn’t going to be a big one for me. With the move and no job and everything else going …
My dogs have adopted a kitten. So far, we are calling her Sweetie Pie as she is very much one. Meara does not like her and wants nothing to do with her. If anyone is interested in adopting her, I would love for her to go to a good home. As you can see, she …
