I Should Be Napping Dear I Should Be Napping, I can’t let you go - you are my oldest blog and you need an overhaul. You’re certainly not part of my portfolio, yet I find you charming in your tacky theme-hacky chic. In the meantime, I thought I’d scare some of the tumbleweeds away by adding a [...]

My Recent Kitchen Renovation I guess this post will have to go under ‘crafts’ because renovation is not really something I specialize in (an obvious fact, if you’ve ever been to my house). Last November, a pipe broke in the wall in our kitchen and forced the process on us. It was a mess - I [...]
