Did you happen to notice that new badge on my sidebar? The one that says, “Addicted to Houzz?” Go ahead and click on it and see what happens. I double-dog dare you. But don’t forget to come back! {Preparing to lose readers for hours …. perhaps days.} Okay, glad you’re back! Now that you’ve had [...]

It’s the Lilly Things.

So have you seen it yet? Lilly Pulitzer for Le Jofa. Almost makes me want to move to Palm Beach. I said almost. We’re on day two of mid-90 degree weather here in Michigan and I’m ready to move to Anchorage. ……anyway. If my living room, or screened porch for that matter, had such a [...]
Blown away by Blogfest!
Posted in Blogfest 2011, Bloggers on May 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been home for three days, my Reader is full with hundreds of unread blog posts, the laundry is stacked tall, the cat fur has begun to tumbleweed its way through the first floor and I am still While I’m sure what meager words I do manage to put together about my Blogfest 2011 experience [...]
Dec’s and The City!

One week from today I’ll be one of the lucky ones! That’s right, Blogfest 2011 is approaching quickly and I can hardly wait to get back to my happy place, NYC! If I could pick a combination of things that bring me darn close to Nirvana, I’d pick NYC, many people who speak design blog [...]
Memory full. Shut down some open applications and try again.

This is my cute little embroidery machine. It sews embroidery stitches only and is (well, was) great for monogramming and adding a bit of fancy when fancy is just what’s needed for a project. I used it pretty regularly for a couple of years. The learning curve was a bit longer than your basic sewing [...]
Can a tip ever compensate for a heart attack?

This has nothing to do with anything, other than the fact that it cracked me up and will also give me something to think about the next time I’m bored in a hotel room. Funny, but there doesn’t seem to be “torso” on the mini-bar price list. Next time a customer demands a “low floor,” [...]
No more wrinkles and five pounds thinner!

Okay! As promised, the sun came out today! Yes! Maybe some of this blasted snow will melt now. The first day of spring is on Sunday, people! That means 70 degrees and sunny every day, right? Who am I kidding. This is Michigan. The place where you can find long underwear and a bikini in [...]
Alex, I’ll take “blog redesign” for $1,000.

If you’re viewing this post in a reader today, you’re breaking my heart! I worked all day and half into the night to spiff up the place. I fluffed up the pillows ….. Scooted the cat off the furniture … I even added a few words of wisdom … And made a clean break with [...]
After/Before and Obligatory Christmas Decor Post
Posted in Other on December 17, 2010 | 5 Comments »
If you’re “crafty” like I am, you have a constantly overflowing file of ideas and inspiration. You know, things you’re going to make as gifts and/or sell at the local Crafty Mart to earn a little cash. Decor modifications that will make the ho-hum “pop.” Things you saw and immediately uttered those triumphant words, “I [...]
Hello GORGEOUS!
Posted in Books on November 15, 2010 | 6 Comments »
O.M.G. It’s here. I seriously have no words. None. I leafed through with tears streaming. Words like beautiful, amazing, stunning, drop-dead gorgeous, exquisite, captivating and remarkable barely scratch the surface. And the accompanying words! When’s the last time you actually read a design book? I’m not even going to begin to try to cover here [...]
