Taking Some Time Off

I know it seems recently I have been been doing that quite a bit but I need more time.  I am thinking only Wordless Wednesdays for the time – I managed to fix the WordPress App. on my phone, Booga did something to it and I had to uninstall it and reinstall it.  I have … Continue reading »

Saving the Arts in My Hometown

My hometown (Escanaba, MI) schoolboard voted last night to “integrate” the K-3 art program into the classroom.  They also voted to eliminate several positions in the district.  My K-3 grade art education was far from spectacular but it made me strive for more, I wanted to learn because I enjoyed painting during art class in … Continue reading »

Yoga Bag

I have been going to Pilates for a couple months now on Tuesday and Fridays.  I have gotten over my fear of exercising with others.  Surprisingly I am enjoying it and actually feel guilty if I don’t make it (guilt is a wonderful motivator some days).  One of the ladies showed up last week with … Continue reading »

Confessions of a Former Big Girl – A Year Later

Leslierahye’s Earth Day Blog Hop – Reclaimed Wood Coat Hanger

I love to recycle and find new ways to use old items.  Since I got my circular saw for Valentine’s Day I have really enjoyed using it.  My problem was I did not have wood to build anything, that changed a couple weeks ago when my neighbor took down their fence.  Jeff being the awesome … Continue reading »

Reclaimed Wood Table

My neighbor removed part of their fence and had a pile of old wood that they said I could raid at will, I of course took them up on this.  I really wanted to make a table for outside out of reclaimed wood. I can assure you it took much longer than I though it … Continue reading »

Finish It Friday

Wow it has been insanely busy between Girl Scouts, Karate, the reservations line going crazy, Booga forgetting how to use the potty time has gotten away from me.  I haven’t had the time to sit and type blog posts, we have completed projects I just haven’t had the time to type them up. The biggest … Continue reading »
