You may have seen my prior post re: new topic – web design.  Well, overnight, I changed my mind.  Of course.  So, that post is gone & this one is to replace it.
Anyway, if you are interested in web design (or just seeing what I do for a living) you may want to check out [...]

This is the jacket I went back to Goodwill for.  It’s from Target & I already have it in the burnt red color.  I’ve seen it a couple times at my local Goodwill & have resisted.  Contrary to what a lot of people do, I try not to own multiples.  I get bored of the shape & [...]

I was in TJMaxx a while back & they had just taken more markdowns on all the purses.  I had 4 or 5 in my cart but while waiting in line I convinced myself to put them back.  I only ended up spending $50 that day instead of the $200 that I had at first.  [...]

I got inspired to start painting again recently so I went & bought two canvasses & some fresh mineral spirits.  I was all ready to dive in so I started sketching.  Ugh…  It’s been a while & any talent I may have had has pretty much leaked out over the years.  My figures, which used [...]

I wore this to work & then out with the girls for coffee.  It was another meet-up night, which was fun.  Again!  I don’t know if I trust this to keep up LOL.  I’m amazed at how many unique & independent & interesting (would you believe it?) women I’m meeting at these gatherings. 
This time I met [...]

I used to love walking around downtown & going into all the galleries when I first moved here in 1997.  I [...]

She was really great & I will tell you all about it in a later post.  She seemed to think some of my ideas were interesting as well as listening to my input [...]

A tutorial for making your own tortillas was requested so a tutorial you get:
Gather ingredients: Maseca corn flour (I found mine in Walmart), oil, water plus non-stick pan, spatula & a wide, flat dish & a small bowl

Pour a bit of the corn flour into a small bowl – I just put in a handful [...]

This look was inspired by trying to wear this sweater in a non-preppy way.  It’s a pretty typical style that usually comes off a little staid.  I layered it over my “sexy business” dress (LOL) & then added slightly tougher accessories.  This is a perfect example of how accessories change an outfit.  Can you imagine the [...]

My husband worked on Saturday & forgot his phone at home.  Being the long-suffering wife that I am, I popped out & took it to him on my way to do some errands. 
I ended up having the nicest visit with the lady of the house where he was working.  Very interesting woman.  She ended up [...]
