It’s October! It’s October! How did that happen?! But I’m soooo happy it is. October has my birthday, it’s the start of magic portal season, there are lots of fun parties, and, of course, Halloween! I’ve started decorating… Draping things around the house… Pulling out decor that I got in Salem many years ago…the actual…
While magic portals do open regularly, if you know how to look, there’s a special time of year when they’re opening all the time, willy-nilly, and you have to really be careful lest you fall into one unawares. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. I heard a tale once of a young girl who…
My birthday is approaching—well, it’s in the first bit of October, anyway—and I’ve bought myself a couple of presents already. Why already? Because I can! Wheeee! :D Ahem. One of the things I’ve gotten is a fabulous, gorgeous Laurel Burch “Santa Fe Felines” mug, something I’ve wanted for years (literally, years) and have no idea…
I’m joining in on the Haunted Humpday fun this year! Thanks so much to Incipient Wings for creating & hosting this fun blog hop. :) I’m already in a fall & Halloween mood, and I want to really get as much out of this spooky season as I can. A new blog party to join…
I’m a total geek about wildlife. Always have been. I’m pretty unashamed about it, too; I’ll squeal over cute baby lizards & birds & even snakes if I see them when out & about. One thing I love about where I currently live is that there are lots of turtles around…I constantly see turtles digging…
I’ve enjoyed so many good books lately that I just HAVE to share. These are all on my Kindle, and some are also stacked on my bedside table—I loved them so much that I had to have them in “real” book form. Am I the only one who does that? Hahaha. I love my Kindle…
It’s been awhile since Erma demanded attention, but she’s been stomping around a lot lately, so I had to have a chat wit her. And the best part? Now she wears a crown! I blame the Junk Gypsies. As I recently gushed, I found their site & love pretty much all of it. If I…
I regularly hunt around online for inspirational images & artists; inspirational as in “make me want to burst from all the ideas now jumping around in my head.” But sometimes I find a juicy site by accident (although I don’t believe in accidents), and then I follow it down the rabbit hole, clicking links &…
So I’ve made “Korknisse” for years and have featured the little scamps in various whimsical posts here on the blog. And I always called them “Korknisse” because, well, that’s what the pattern said they were called. In all the years I’ve had them, I never looked up the meaning of the name until recently. “Korknisse”…
I love Pinterest, but I try not to go there every day because, well, I tend to lose time when I do. Heh. If you’re a pinner too, I’m sure you understand. But sometimes I pop in to find something “I just know I pinned…” and end up lost in my own pinboards, happily rediscovering…
So several months ago, I bought two celosias. They were slightly scraggly, but I repotted them into one large pot & hoped for the best. They didn’t do very well…and one of them died. So I said well, ok, they didn’t look totally healthy when I bought them, and perhaps I’m not that good at…
It’s almost Halloween, and I almost forgot to offer these cuties on this blog! I made these two Halloween-themed “Keep Calms” a few years ago & have offered them on all my blog incarnations. So naturally I need to offer them here as well. They’re 3″ x 5″ .jpg files, ready to print & cut…
