Drawing on the brighter side
Around the house I picked a few things from the garden and created a still life so I could whittle away a few hours doing something with my hands. One of the things that I brought with me were my colored pencils. I wasn't at first going to bring them but last minute decided to… Continue reading Drawing on the brighter side
It’s HOT!
Do you see that temp. reading? 106 Degrees Fahrenheit at 3:12pm in the afternoon. IT'S HOT, HOT, HOT! I can't handle this extreme heat. In fact, it has really put a damper on some of my goals to get to a few shops I wanted to see while I am here. I had big thoughts… Continue reading It’s HOT!
The Getty
J. Paul Getty. A site to see while in LA is the J. Paul Getty Museum. This museum campus sits on top of a hill overlooking Los Angeles and has an incredible 360 degree view. Provided that you can go on a day of 'low smog' you'll be glad you came. The museum consists of… Continue reading The Getty
Greetings from Playa Del Rey, CA
Greetings from Southern California. I am taking a week to visit my Mom, Dad and brother and as a request I've asked to visit a little bit of Los Angeles. Even though I was born in California and have spent many years growing up here and now having 'come home' many times I've never been… Continue reading Greetings from Playa Del Rey, CA
No wonder I don’t do Men’s Ironing
Ladies (and Gents for that matter). There is a reason we ask our husbands to take their shirts to the dry cleaners. Click this link for the ultra-finicky way of ironing a Man's shirt. http://lavraiechemisesurmesure.blogspot.com/2009/02/comment-repasser-une-chemise.html I just stumbled upon that link today and have just a few questions. If you know the answers...please chime in.… Continue reading No wonder I don’t do Men’s Ironing
So Precious it’s Hard to Get Mad.
Einstein is 12 weeks old this week. Officially, he'll be 3 months old on the 5th of July. What a little smarty pants. He is growing so fast I swear every time he gets up from a nap he's a half inch taller! We are settling in with his puppy antics and thankful to not… Continue reading So Precious it’s Hard to Get Mad.
Einstein’s First Day
His name is Einstein and we picked him up in Milwaukee, flown in special delivery. Do you want to know his stats? Well...the official stats are coming in the mail and I'll know his weight once we see the vet this week but he feels like he weighs about 15-20 pounds. He's a handful! So… Continue reading Einstein’s First Day
Back to the Sewing Block by way of a Mother’s Day.
I'm back. Back to the sewing room. Sorry, we have had a very crazy busy, crazy 'lost in translation' couple of weeks. I don't even know where to start to recap all that has been going on around here. Maybe I'll get into the "Can I go to Toronto?" episode or share with you the… Continue reading Back to the Sewing Block by way of a Mother’s Day.
Our first CCI meeting
This beautiful dog is Lyda. She patiently sat next to me during a meeting of volunteers on Sunday. I brought Jim with me as both of us really are not that familiar with CCI - Canine Companions for Independence, the organization we'll be getting a puppy from to raise for 14-18 months. One after another,… Continue reading Our first CCI meeting
