Today is Not Your Day and Tomorrow Doesn’t Look Good Either

Remember my lovely sewing machine from Monday’s post?  My dear friend that I have cared for – oh for around 15 years.  Not a scratch on her – just needed a tune up and good cleaning.  Well it was apparently packed well.

But it showed up cracked down there.

It’s been tagged and [...]

Festival

Friday some friends and I headed out to Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Festival.  We had a great time at their new venue.  We all came home with new goodies.  The bag was a freebie and a very nice one indeed.

Chicago

For our anniversary DH and I decided to go to Chicago for a few days.  We stayed right downtown on MI Ave and were able to walk to the museum district.  We had a mission to see Lyuba – the woolly mammoth – who is currently visiting The Field Museum.

Pewabic Pottery

So one of the the great treasures in Detroit is Pewabic Pottery.  It’s a style unto itself and after seeing a tile above a sink at the Fisher Mansion (another treasure), I was quite smitten.  My own father was a tile man, doing beautiful designs in tile and marble and I’ve have to admit always [...]

Saturday Sky

We had a gorgeous, albeit humid day here.

It was $5 a bag book sale day at the library and I got a bag full.  I think I’m going to have to donate some back before the next sale as space is always a premium around here.  I’m in a romance mood, so I [...]

Coco and Max donated hair for the oil clean-up this weekend.

Happy dogs on Thursday.
