I am blessed to have the honor of introducing my friend and her artwork. This lovely artist never ceases to amaze me with the amount of enthusiasm about creativity that exudes from her being. Not only does she use her talents (she has so many–from dressmaking to drawing,painting, playing music, cooking, and many more) for…

I love connecting with others through creativity, communication, and cooking!
Sewing adventure: Frumpy to Fitted
Enough reminiscing for now! On to my present-day adventure..in the sewing room! It used to be a jungle in there, lemme tell ya. A recent organization project has made it more navigable, and consequently I more frequently venture in there, whereas before I would often close the door and try to forget the mayhem that…
House of the Dreamer, cont.
It’s entirely possible some would give the place a once-over and decide to stay in the car. Perhaps they’d think I am too easily impressed. I, however, believe there’s beauty in the unpretentious. I don’t need to walk into a spacious, air-conditioned studio to see art worth appreciating. This artist used the resources available (in…
Looking back…to the future
“The House of the Dreamer,” the sign said in Spanish, hanging down from a plant-covered tree. I hadn’t even gone inside the crazy little structure, but I was already awestruck by it–really, what it embodied: bold, whimsical, lovely creativity. Art for art’s sake. A scrappy little dog came out to greet us as we stepped…
House of the Dreamer
I took this photo in Costa Rica where I was for June of 2009, when a kind elementary teacher took me in for a few weeks and spoiled me with trips to places she enjoyed. Thank you, Diana. I was thrilled to find a youtube featuring this place, and feel so lucky to have been…
Hubby’s Secret Smoothie Blend
…I guess it’s not a secret once I tell you… but it was really good… and I’m not a selfish person, am I? So I’ll share: I was skeptical about this combo. It sounded REALLY weird. I did the wifely eye-brow raise. Yet Tim bravely ignored my cynicism. He blended strawberries….with milk and vanilla…
My Panera Bread Bowl “Pita Chips”
I love Panera bread bowls filled with yummy soup. Just to the right amount of soup, and then fluffy warm bread to scrape out from the inside of the “bowl”. But then you’re left with the crust. And usually, I’m really full by then. But I don’t wanna waste the superb crust!!!! Oh, it’s so…
Packing Lunches: Mashed Cauli-tatoes
This font is called Trebuchet. Sweet. While Xanga does not recognize that as the correct spelling, it is indeed (I double-checked). In case you don’t know what the word means (but I doubt that), a trebuchet (treb-you-shay) is like a ground sling-shot that hurled rocks at one’s enemies (or more likely, their castle walls) in…
Food Processor Frenzy!!!!
Today I am in a food-processor frenzy, and it all started when… I bought a bunch of celery, which seemed like a good snack filled with peanut butter. Problem is, I’m lazy and did not ever get it out, cut off some stalks, wash and snack on it. It was looking kind of sad in…
