One Plant.

One Plant.

I got this trouble spot out by the road, our bamboo line stops at the fence and try as I might the frontage is a mess. When we first landed here it was all native grasses, bluestem and baby bluestem and its was LOVELY, but I mowed it a couple of times and killed off all the native grasses ( because I was a dummy) and only the ugly encroaching grasses grew back. Ta’suck! So I tried tearing it all out and adding wildflowers. That worked great for a couple years but ( this time it wasn’t...

Good Day Sunshine!

Howdy All! Let’s Play! But before we do that, Funny news! Robo-Granny called from her hospital bed to chat and she sounded very good, perky even. She said she was black and blue all over. Surgery is not for sissies!  LOL! She is going home today. They wanted to release her yesterday but both her and my dad said no way. They both knew they needed another day of someone doing all the important stuff for them before they flew solo.  She said when they were granted another day she was so...

Rustic Warmth

I am in LOVE with this Rustic Warmth Kit from Kim B Designs. I have men crawling all over this place and tons of pictures to scrap for them and this kit fits the bill very nicely. Its also great for pets, it got all the doggie tones I love. YUM! Get a load of this alpha! WHOO HOO! I was so impressed with what other folks in Kim’s CT did with this Rustic Warmth Alpha, I kind of lost my groove so I barely used it ( a letter “p” laying down in Harvey’s LO below) Its an AWESOME letter...

Unsinkable Jeri Ann

Unsinkable Jeri Ann

How my mom ever survived having a child like me is anyone’s guess. She is nearly a saint and I tried every ounce of her patience growing up and I think I still do. I stood up in the car until I was too tall which was until about 8. I pressed my head against the top to keep from flying around when the brakes were on. I dyed my hair bright colors got piercings before it was really cool, just scary for moms, and when I turned 30 got a tattoo on my face. Forever ruining family pictures. Golden...

Grocery Olympics

 Yesterday, I was working diligently on some new styles and repacking some old ones for the new shops and Jack calls down from the entertainment loft ( His computer is hooked up to the big screen TV, poor baby) he says, “ Are WE planning on going to the store today since you were snowed in on Thursday?” Translation: “Hey sissy girl, who won’t drive in the snow. I am out of peanut butter and sweets, I am going to be an ass soon if I don’t get some. Go to the store.” Now I love my...

Infamous Harvey P.

Infamous Harvey P.

  Harvey pulls the covers Harvey P. Waterworks aka Harvey Poo-Bucket has left us. We have a hole in us easily seen through.  Our memories of our cheeky poo-bah are marked with his big voice and constant needs for attention. On his worst day he would get up and walk across the room if someone was hugging. He HAD to get in on that! He was ours from the moment we started fostering him at 8 months.  He chose us and every adoptathon we went to he acted like a wild thing so no one would adopt...
