Thursday already?

I can hardly believe this week has gone by so quickly! On Wednesday morning, Angie came over and trimmed up my hair to hide some of the thinning that’s gotten even worse. I didn’t expect the medications to help immediately, but I sure didn’t expect it to continue to fall out at the rate it

Weekend roundup

Friday was my treatment. I went to the infusion center to get my medication this time. If you’re a blog reader, you know I usually do my treatments at home; however, as I mentioned yesterday, I needed to have a bit more control over the date of the infusion to prepare for my trip to

Why did she wait so long?

Why did I let those cards just sit there for several years, instead of using them? That’s the question I asked myself today when I looked at my basket-full of card fronts from the past few years. I used to make samples for companies to use at trade shows and I also was very active

Hello, Dolly!

Published on August 23, 2007, by in art, fabric, friends, fun day.

Today was a lovely day. Angie came over right after she dropped the kids off at school. This was Max’s first full day of school and we were celebrating! Angie brought Starbucks and her sewing machine and we made dolls a la Katie Kendrick. The techniques we learned in Katie’s classes are absolutely priceless and

Feeling artistic

I’m feeling a lot more artistic today than I was last evening. I have spent the morning working on my projects for the mixed media for fabric class with Joggles. On this Thursday, my class will have its last session, so I wanted to try to get some work done on it before then. But

Coming out of the fog

Well, dear readers, you have not heard hide nor hair of me for a week now. Why? Well, on Monday I ran several errands. And the problems started when I was getting ready to leave my favorite fabric spot, SAS Fabrics by the Pound for some trims and buttons, I started to have some issues

Catching Up!

Well, it is already Wednesday. it is already June 5th, and I have not yet written since our anniversary celebration. We went to Eddie V’s in Scottsdale on Friday evening and it was lovely.
