One: The Cottage
I have to admit it: three days later, I'm still here.
Two: A study of photography
At the cottage, I tagged along on every trip out onto the water, even if I had no plans to throw on a life jacket and hit the water with a wake board. Or my bare feet. My camera came along with me. I'm sure by the end of the...

I don't want to be here right now, here being my bare office with projects that are looming and calling to be completed.No. I don't want to be here.
I want to be here.
Coming back from a weekend spent wakeboarding, and barefooting, and sunbathing, and swimming, and reading, and girl-talking, and eating, and boat riding......

As I've mentioned here before, my company has recently moved locations. Yesterday was the official move day, though I've been installed in my new office for the past week. We've moved out of an open concept style office and into one broken up into tiny offices, so, for the first time in 2 years, since I 'entered the...
Fabric Stash Decor

I used to do a bunch of sewing. I would save any and every little bit of fabric with a plan to do something with it. I would search thrift stores for bits of ugly fabric people had donated. Walmart's $1.99/yard bin was my heaven. As I'm sure you can imagine, my fabric stash was pretty large. It was also pretty ugly. Weird...Black and Gold: Design Ideas

This morning, I slipped on my favourite bangles as I was getting ready for work. They're a gold bangle with little black and white circles set into the band. I love the little bit of drama they add to my arm, the gold, the tinkling clatter they make as I move.These bangles have been making me think of other places I could...

Happy Monday! I've had one of those unusual weekends that involved almost nothing. I got some new tech on Saturday, then visited with some amazing friends. I spent the whole afternoon on Sunday cooking, using somethings up, and stocking up my freezer. I love productive weekends, but I can't say I like them more...
Photo Friday: Hot Peppers

My hot peppers have been doing remarkably well. Perhaps too well. I have an overabundance of jalapenos and the number of red chili peppers dangling from the plant has me kind of alarmed. On top of those two plants, I have a mystery pepper plant, one that claimed to be habaneros, but is growing straight up and pointy,...

This week's Three Things are about blogging because it's what I've been thinking about this week. I know that this is completely uninteresting for those of you who don't blog, but please bear with me! I have a few questions about blogs and Facebook for you at the bottom of the post!One: Blog Design
Over the past week or...
An Indoor Herb Garden: Update

Authors: Jeanette deBoer
Way back in February, I planted some herb seeds. As they were growing, I built some shelves into my kitchen window frame, intent on creating a little herbal oasis in the middle of the house. And then, I forgot to update you. And forgot, and forgot.I'm sorry.
But today, I have an update! That window herb garden that I...

Naming a puppy is hard. We searched through lists, created our own lists, crossed off names, added new ones. We asked people for advice and tossed around ideas as we walked, drove, bought chew toys (oh, goodness, we need chew toys), watched TV, made supper. This puppy is going to have this name for the next 10-18 years. It...
