Happy Thursday, and happy almost Fall. I’m feeling a little sad that our pool will be closed within the next couple of days. (If you remember, my husband calls it the “work basin.” He’s not sorry to see it closing…) I’m not quite ready for fall yet, and neither is our weather, but I can’t…

If you have a DSLR, you may be wanting to take the next step and start learning about lenses. Although the kit lens that came with your camera may be all you need, a prime lens with a wide aperture (f/1.4 or f/1.8, or 2.8 for example) would be a great next step. Ok, back…
Hello! We’ve had two birthdays here at our home this week and multiple home projects. So the blog has gone a bit unattended! No worries — I’ll be sharing some of my projects soon. I’m glad, though, that it’s time for another Thursday Favorite Things (TFT) link party. I really enjoy all of the new…
Hello! Welcome to another Thursday Favorite Things link party! I’ve been a bit under the weather this week, and the weather is still doing it’s hot, cool, hot, cool thing. Here in Missouri, there is a saying that goes something like, “If you don’t like the weather in Missouri, just wait 5 minutes.” I don’t…
The first time I saw heat embossing, I was at a craft fair, years ago, in southern Missouri. A woman was demonstrating it at her booth. I felt like I was watching magic as the powder melted and created a beautiful raised image. I was mesmerized and walked away with several pots of embossing powder….
Happy Thursday friends! It’s a gorgeous day here today — so cool, and the humidity is low. We seem to have switched our seasons and are having our spring now, in late summer, that we didn’t have in the spring. (I refuse to call this early fall!) I’m so glad to be here for another…
Thank you Basic Invite for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. My daughter is engaged! I’m not sure how that hilarious little ball-pit jumping, bead-tree growing, guinea-pig loving little girl grew up so fast. (In the same way I’m not sure how I got to an age when my joints crack so loudly sometimes they…

Isn’t it beautiful? I love my pink typewriter. My husband gives me a befuddled look when I say it’s beautiful, but he humors me about it anyway. Have you ever considered getting one or even thought about why you should get a typewriter?
In high school (which was a long time ago), I took an Advanced Drawing class, and became obsessed with drawing portraits. While I wasn’t very good at drawing the whole person, I wasn’t bad with faces. I loved learning how to draw portraits. Just the other day, I dug my old sketchbooks out from storage….
