Fashion Friday – Why I Love Old Lady Shoes
I love shoes. Absolutely love them. Ask my husband- I’m sure he’ll tell you about my “problem.” Shoes are one of the few fashion items that have always enjoyed. I still remember the saddle shoes my mom bought me to wear to church when I was little. I had 2 pair. One set was black…

This week on #OurProject52 is Photographer’s Choice. I was pretty excited about this, because I love texture and this is a great time of year to capture it. This time of year, when the sun is still on hiatus, but plants are starting to come out of hibernation is great for capturing texture. These are…

I have used affiliate links for the books in this post. I’ve made it almost 3 months into my goal of reading more this year. I’m so glad I stumbled on that 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. It has made me pick up several books that I otherwise would never have considered, which is great…

Read More#OurProject52 – Green
Is it spring yet? We’ve barely gotten rid of the snow, and my lawn is a muddy marsh. In fact, the only truly green plant-life I’ve seen lately is what’s left of my Amaryllis. I don’t generally mind the winter, but I’m to the point that I’m ready for some sunshine and flowers. You can…

This week is another calm before the storm type week as I wait for the results of voting from last week’s Project Quilting Challenge- Fav Fabric. You can vote for my quilt, and any of the others you like (up to 5 votes) over at Persimon Dreams. I have done a little sewing though. I…
