Outside Front Door This is a busy and wonderful time of the year for all of us.  Decorating, cooking, family visits ... a lot crammed into a little space of time.  I want to take some of that time to wish you all the most blessed of Thanksgivings. The mall where I have a space puts on an ope…

Meeting Sonia at the Once Upon A Dream Event was one of the highlights for me.   I have "known" Sonia for some time and was happy to learn that she is from Malta.   I was very lucky to have visited Malta years ago and am delighted that we got this fantastic export ! Sonia is so talent…

One of my Sweeties colleagues has a habitat where she keeps throw away cats.  I have a link to her blog on my side bar ... Brierpatch Cats Sadly there are too many cats and dogs that are neglected, abused and just tossed out.   Our Willie and Wynona were left in a shoe box before their eyes were …

This is my work shop...I'm very blessed to have my own little cottage to play in.   I can decorate it, mess it up and just have fun. I have made a few changes and wanted to show them to you but have spent the last week with a pinched nerve in my lower back. This has put a SEVERE hitch in my get…
