    Wordless Wednesday: Smile You’re on Camera

    13 September 2011 / 4 Comments

    Someone painted “Smile, your on camera” on the side of the barn.  So I stopped, smiled and made sure it was on camera. You can see more of my photographic efforts by clicking here to see my Flickr stream… I’m linking up with Erin at Slice o’ Heaven (click here to join the Wordless Wednesday fun), Mimi from Woven by Words (click here to hit the link), and 5 Minutes for Mom (click here to see more Wordless Wednesday posts from around the web).

    Walgreens Gives Back: Ways to Give Back to Your Community

    12 September 2011 / 0 Comments

    Thanks to Walgreens for sponsoring my writing. Help Walgreens help others! Visit their Facebook page here to learn about their charitable partners and decide which cause Walgreens will donate to with a quick vote. A little known fact about me is that I love to crochet.  I find it incredibly therapeutic.  But the only things I know how to crochet are scarves, blankets and flowers.  Yep, that’s it.  I can’t make sweaters.  I can’t crochet hats or gloves.  Not even little baby booties.  But what I do make, I make with love.  And as much as I big puffy heart scarves (especially scarves with flowers), I can only wear so…

    Yarn Along

    9 September 2011 / 8 Comments

    This morning when I woke up the air was crisp, I welcome break from the triple degree weather we had when we first moved here and the high 90s that have dogged us for the last few weeks.  Can you tell I’m a sweater weather girl?  I love my cardis, so warm and cozy, they are the grown up version of a snuggy.  Wearing the same ol’ cardigans day in and day out can get a bit dull though, so I like to brighten them up with crocheted flower pins.  I wear them in singles and in bunches.  Sometimes they match my sweater, sometimes they just go with…  Either way,…

    Loose Threads and Random Thoughts

    3 September 2011 / 7 Comments

    Do you like taking pictures?  I’m not talking about just snapping pictures of your kids while they’re little so you can remember how sweet they used to be once they become teens?  I mean, do you carry your camera everywhere you go?  I do.  I love snapping pictures and playing with the various editing tools.  I’ve even joined a couple of photography challenges.  This fall I’ll be joining up with Kristi and her crew for the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge.  For more information, go here.  If you decide to join up, let me know in the comments. Last night I had the worst case of insomnia.  Ever.  I suspect…

    New House Tour: The Living Room

    2 September 2011 / 4 Comments

    I love my new house.  One of the things I knew I wanted in our new place was a lot of light.  I wanted to be able to take photographs inside without running around, gathering lamps from all over the house and then aiming them at my subject.  I also wanted a fireplace.  I may not ever use it but I wanted one.  I just think they add warmth to the living space. I wasn’t sure if my old world eclectic style from the old house would fit in this house (click here to see pictures of the old house) but the hubs was convinced everything would work.  And, I…
