Attitude of Gratitude – B

Photo A Day

This little squirrel lives in our yard.  He only has half a tail.  I don’t know what happened to the other half but it’s just blunt on the end.  His right back leg doesn’t work either.  He’s a little daredevil that keeps getting in scrapes and coming out handicapped.  Mister calls him “Chester”.  [...]

My Newest Toy

Mister got me the coolest tool! It’s a tiny miter box.  It is just the right size for sawing small things.  It fits in the bench vise he got me.  I was cutting pencils to little short ones to use as charms on a necklace, and this is just perfect for that!

Sorry about the flash, [...]

Love

Love

Love
It isn’t definable
and is the subject of many

Writers
try to corral love
and make sense of it with

Words
cannot explain a heart
that has emotions so

Deep
is the place of
true love that lasts

Forever
is a long time
for something so wonderful as

Love
can’t be explained
people who write about it [...]

E*Trade Baby

I consider TV commercials a necessary evil.   You guys in England don’t have commercials, right?  But you have to pay a LOT for tv?  So, I figure I just have to put up with them.  I prefer to watch movie channels that don’t have them, and if I do watch a show that has commercials [...]

I Love Me Some Funky Socks

Here are some I want, want, want!

These are handmade and expensive, but I adore the colors and patterns. You can find these and lots more at SockLady.com

Woodworking Love

I wanted some weathered wood to make frames and crosses for my Etsy shop, so I called fence companies until I found a really nice man that gave me an old fence he tore down.  The others wanted me to pay for them…like 70 cents a picket!!  He even delivered them!  He brought me 70 [...]

100 Things – What I’ve Done

I saw this list on Kira’s blog and for some reason I just wanted to do it, too.  The items in bold are the ones I’ve done.  I haven’t done that many things on this list which makes me feel bad at my age.  But a lot of them are related to traveling lots of [...]

Bohemian Meets Man’s Man

Mister and I are getting married next October.    My furniture and all household items have been in storage in Texas the past year.  So, he hasn’t seen any of my stuff to know my decorating style, my art or how funky I am.

Thanksgiving weekend, we are going to get my things and bring them to [...]

art Road trip

I’m leaving Fri morning early to fly to Sedona, AZ to see my friend, Paula.  I am so excited.  First of all because it’s been over a year since I’ve seen her.  And secondly because she lives in an art mecca.  I fully expect to come back inspired in unimaginable ways.

I have the possibility of [...]
