I snagged a great deal on some shoes the other day: These are Re-Mixed shoes in the Deco style. Olive and Brown colors. It's a 1920's inspired vintage recreation. These are normally $200 and I got them for $65 at Amazon. Great deal, huh? I normally wouldn't spend even that much on shoes (I'm a… Continue reading New Shoes!

Happy Birthday to Me!
Tuesday was my birthday - I won't say how old I am - other than to say that I'm now one year closer to the big 4-0. 🙁 I certainly don't feel like I'm in my (late!) 30's!

First our power supply on the web server went dead, so hubby had to order a new one - which meant that our website was down for a good week (which isn't really *that* bug of a deal, since… Continue reading Computer Problems, Tunic Progress and Charlotte Purls
Here she is!
Her name is Brygitta. I think it's a very pretty Polish name.

Right now I have her set on… Continue reading Here she is!
The Spinning Bug has bit again!
So, I now officially have another fiber obsession. Spinning! I'm loving spinning on my drop spindle, but I can now see the usefulness of a spinning wheel. Spinning straight to a bobbin?
