Imagine a horse with blinders. They see what's in front of them and not what's around them, and by limiting their vision, they are better able to focus on taking the steps in front of them. There are days when I just can't focus; I get distracted by every person who...
I forgot which day it was, but my purse happened to be on the floor and M decided it was more fun to go through the purse than to play with her other toys. Because of course mommy's purse would be more interesting! Once all the contents had been dumped out, she then...
I think I was wandering the internet one day when I decided I wanted to learn something new. I decided I was going to learn all about cables. Well, maybe I didn't get around to learning ALL about cables, but I did end up with this woven cable mug cozy, so I'll call it...

I've been spending a lot of time trying to clean up my craft room lately (starting with my craft desk and card catalog), getting it ready for a room tour sometime in the next few weeks, and there's just so much to do! Still, when Tara from Suburble showed me a link...
Ugh, it's almost winter. The leaves are turning and I'll be staring at nekkid trees for the next 6 months. I know there's lots of good things to be had in the wintertime, but man, it's just so dreary sometimes! Ok, focus on the positive! Let's see...hot tea, hot...
