Lens Day: A yellow rose from my garden.

We didn’t do much to celebrate. My grandfather was in the trenches in France during World War I. He had horrible nightmares for the rest of his life from that experience, but he escaped the trenches unscathed physically which was probably something of a miracle. I wish I had known him. He died just after [...]

I had to go to New Mexico last Tuesday and Wednesday for business. Then Chunguita got sick on Thursday. It’s like the whole week is gone with nothing to show for it. Well, I did get a little accomplished for work while in NM. I swam today, 2400m in 63 minutes.

Are we BABES or what? Well, I’m not in the picture, but they are still beautiful without me. Left to right, LoriB, Tailypo, Irene, JenS, Quesie, and Verosews.

I mentionned that I weighed myself on Wednesday after not weighing myself for over a week because I’d been a fat pig (note to self: stop the negative thinking), and I was concerned that my weight would be up. Well, it was. So I weighed myself on Thursday, and my weight was down from Tuesday [...]

I want to get Chunguita started with sewing, but since she’s only 5, I thought that a clothing item would be too difficult for us. I figured a pillowcase would be ideal because there’s lots of room for error, and it only involves straight lines. Well, Chunguita still lacks the coordination to cut a straight [...]

Studio Friday‘s theme this week is MIX ‘n MATCH: orange + yellow. This was so easy. I’m in an orange mood, so I’ve been making orange t-shirts. This one is yellow-orange with orange paisleys, and it’s pinned with yellow headed pins in preperation for pressing and coverstitching the bottom hem. See my blog at Sewing, [...]
