My son has the spirit! Here is something he made in school. Blows my stuff away!It's a hat!! What a "pretty" face! Now I know what he'd look like as a girl...(Excuse the dirty face. They apparently don't believe in soap at school.)

Halloween makes me think of strolls through foggy woods. The naked trees creak as they sway in the breeze, and the only sounds of life are the occasional caw of a distant black bird... I also think of skulls and skeletons. I like comical skeletons, like those in "Army of Darkness." And zombies...oh, wait! Zombies … Continue reading Halloween Fun

Homework...cleaning...when will it all end? 🙂 My families coming for a visit this weekend, so I'm more busy than normal. I'm still here, though! Waiting for a few moments to post...

I'm thinking the chair will be a different color for each ornament (starting with black)--maybe … Continue reading Project Soon…Maybe

I bought the yarn one Sunday (I remember it was Sunday because football was on) because I was … Continue reading Sweet, Sweet Maggie
