spicy, sexy, wild

Life's crazy. Make moments that matter. That's the revision I made to my normal tagline of "Life's Busy. Make moments that matter." It's just crazy. Stir crazy. I'm crazy. Here's what's exciting in my life... "Spicy, sexy, wild".  I saw those words on a bottle of lotion describing the scent while I was in a family member's dark, old, spidery don't look around too closely but spruced up and cute with curtains from my fabric designs camp bathroom. I decided immediately that I wanted people to think spicy, sexy, wild about me. Definitely. Never mind that I am more

livin’ in the past, man

Nostalgia. It is perhaps one of the greatest gifts in life for those of us who have a few years added on to our youthful days. The memories, tastes and feelings of past feel good moments that still live on in your mind are pure gold. Life in the good old days...ahhhhh. It was all so simple then. Naturally. Sunbathing, cut-off jean shorts, and old-fashioned cakes are on my nostalgia plate recently. I never tire of regaling my kids with "the good old life" stories from my fabulous 80's days. I was definitely born to be an 80's chick.

I was planning on chatting with you about making moments in this busy world of ours and now it is a changing world where some serious moment making is in order. I am fascinated with the virus adventure that is going on right now and the changes to daily routines and lives that occur every time I turn my back.

what a girl wants

The heirloom garden catalogs have arrived, our Christmas tree was dry and has been taken down (way too early, so it was replaced with a white lights tree to take me through winter), I'm ready to part with the sweets and treats that were staple foods while I was in my "holiday hole" and the holiday cards I did not yet send have become "winter wishes" cards. That means it's time for a new year! Happy New Year! Happy New Decade! My favorite line, that I think is quite witty, is that "it will all be clear in 2020".

how holiday clean happens

I had planned to get this to you before Thanksgiving because I know that your very existence would be enhanced immensely by knowing how I clean my house for Thanksgiving. But, after two days of documenting my every cleaning move, I needed to stop chatting and get to work. Since I love to include a drawing or two, there was no way I'd be all edited and artistically souped up to get this to you before Thanksgiving. Soooo, I figured you would enjoy this in your small breather moments before you have to switch into end-of-year-holiday mode and started
