22 September 2009 ~ For Today ~ Simple Woman’s Journal

FOR TODAY … 22 September, 2009.  I know it’s been a while; so much going on, and we were out of town nearly a week.
Outside My Window… construction, short-tempered motorists, partly sunny skies
I am thinking… that being caught up feels good. 
I am thankful for… my job and a little extra pocket change with which [...]

FOR TODAY … 9 September, 2009
Outside My Window… beautiful blue skies and green grass, fragrant.
I am thinking… that I have an awful lot to do today!
I am thankful for… my family, and this opportunity we will have to be together.
From the kitchen… we still have leftover chicken from the weekend.  Hubby smoked two whole chickens [...]

I will do another post later with all blocks to date, but here’s what I have finished recently.  I am REALLY liking these fabrics. 

Crochet Art

No, not crocheted art LOL!  Since becoming interested in this craft, I was browsing the Internet for crochet-themed images.  The one below must be my favorite.  I love the Old World feel, the light, and of course, the cat (which is a requisite for all truly fine vignettes.)  I’ve been digging frantically for the photographer’s [...]

Little Mango Imports

FOR TODAY … 12 May, 2009

I am thinking… that I can’t wait to get my seedlings into the garden.  Too bad we’re having to wait for the wood for my raised beds, which is on order.
I am thankful for… my fuzzy kitties.
From the kitchen… grilling out, [...]

Recent Kayaking

Just a few shots from a Friday evening when hubby came home early, loaded up the “boats”, and off we went.  We stopped at Subway en route to grab some, um, provisions for our trek LOL!  Our plan was to eat on or near the water, and I didn’t have time to pack a picnic.  [...]

Like Cozy Living Spaces?

How is this for innovation?  Too cute!

But the fun part is the structure itself.  I would never have guessed LOL!

I want one!
