Postcards from the edge

So I turned some of our vacation photos into a fabric pattern for a vintage postcard competition at Spoonflower.com. I added various filters to my photos until I got the desired effect of making them look like old fashioned postcards. I was very happy with the final result. I ordered some fabric so I can…

Look what the wind is dragging in

So here we are, boy boy has finished his first semester of college and he is about 90 minutes out of San Francisco. Poor kid through a comedy of shitty errors ended up missing his flight. Jet Blue sent an email saying that they were going to be delayed 3 hours so he asked Lovie…

It’s raining again.

Well, we said goodbye yesterday morning to the boy as he heads back to college in the big apple. I hope to God he is behaving. It was wonderful to have him home. There seems to be a little bit of a romance on the go with a girl who he has claimed was his…

Jitterbug

So here we go into another week. I was at home with my anxiety and stressful thoughts until my meeting with Not Jean. I am so rattled inside. Have you ever felt so jittery on the inside that you cannot function? I am in one of those zones at the moment. Too anxious to think…

Here we go again

So I found the photos that I had taken of the room after my mini office conversion. It is working out very nicely. The desk is perfect for my laptop and the new Cricut machine. I can also push the Cricut back under the shelf and remove my laptop if I want to sew. What…
