This was taken Friday morning, that's Miss Hazel. She's a beauty but quite hard to photograph so I don't get to share too much of her here. She's perfectly chill and would lay there all day basking in photographic glory - but unless her eyes are open, she looks like a shadow and not much else. And the girl sleeps a lot, those hazel eyes of hers are usually closed. Anyway, I took this and immediately after felt complete in this morning, noon and night project.
So, it didn't last as long as I had planned, but that's okay. It's time to move on and get back to blogging, maybe not with with the same frequency, but there will be words here nonetheless.
There are recipes to share.
There is an exciting new project going on at the new home of the Obama family that I wanted to tell you about, in case you didn't know already.
There is new writing that I posted at The Simple Green Frugal Co-op.
There is a very special birthday coming up of a very special president. The 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln... and Emily is planning a party. Can you help me? Do you have any ideas for food, crafts, decorations, activities that would totally rock the afternoon away for a bunch of 9-11 year olds while simultaneously honoring one of the finest men ever? Tall order I know... but don't be shy, any and all ideas are greatly appreciated!
There are apologies to seek as I am swamped with email and can't seem to locate more time in the day for answering all of them. I'm sorry, it really bothers me and I have huge guilt around it (I really need to let that go), I hope you are more patient than I am about this.
There is also going to be a monthly giveaway on this blog. It will be held on the first Friday of each month (starting THIS Friday!)... for no reason other than it's just fun. And it feels like a little way that I can say thank you for being here. To make it realistic (and a good challenge) for me, I've given myself two rules.
1. I can spend up to $10 on supplies and/or goods (not including shipping).
2. I can give up to two loving hours of my time each month to put it together.
What do you think? I'm looking forward to this in a big way! You will see vintage delights, handmade items, killer homemade cd's (I should check with the resident lawyer about this), maybe recipe booklets, used books that I discover while thrifting (I just picked up a new to me Rumi book while thrifting this weekend... good stuff like that) and so on. I'm also open to including goodies from other people that might like a little exposure for their indie craft, vintage, music, or writing business. Feel free to contact me (email link at the top left of this page) if you want to chat about that.
This blog is back in the saddle friends, stay tuned.
