Seeing Myself

As I Really Am I read, many years ago, that as our weight increases we tend to see ourselves as thinner than we really are. When the weight goes down, the opposite is true. We think we are fatter than we look. In my case, I think it’s at least somewhat true. But there’s…

In Memory of Dave

Rabbits, Wood and Websites Back in the day, each of us in our little office had a mascot. Janet had unicorns, Marcia had turtles, I had dragons and Dave had rabbits. I can’t say who decided that Dave should have rabbits. It might not have been Dave, but that didn’t…

One More Time

Trying to stay Covid free I got my second Covid booster yesterday. I spent today in bed. It would be nice if the vaccine didn’t hit me so hard, but oh, well. It’s better than the alternative. So far, to my knowledge, I haven’t been exposed to the Covid virus…

Lucy in the sky

Sometimes you just gotta play I bought a pack of adhesive backed rhinestones today. Why? I’ve no idea. Impulse, I guess. I don’t have an overwhelming desire to make everything sparkle. Once in a while, however, something overtakes my better judgement. I bought a $5 toy. …

Quilling Project Done

When one thing leads to another… For some reason, I thought it would be fun to take a class on quilling. Quilling is the art of twirling tiny strips of paper into shapes to make designs. Not sure why I signed up for the class. Might have been because I…

Why is it so hard to finish something?

Another attempt at breaking the cycle of not getting things done I bought a lovely project notebook a couple of months ago. For the past six months or so, I’ve been thinking it would be a good idea to keep a notebook of art/craft projects. Some place to record the…

Dragon Eggs for Easter

3D Printing is a fun way to make decorations When I moved house a few years ago, I got rid of most of my holiday decorations. Not that I had too many. I’ve never spent that much time or attention on seasonal (or any other kind) of decoration. The obvious…

Is it really spring?

The space between full winter and full spring is one of my favorite times of year One of the things I adore about living in New England is that it has four, very distinct seasons. And my second most favorite season is just beginning. Spring isn’t a riot of flowers…
