Happy Halloween all. Keely was feeling much better today after all our resting, cuddling, orange juice popsicles, pumpkin choc. chip muffins, and playing. She still has the cold and the cough, but she is acting almost normal. Since the weather has returned us to spring, I thought we might as well get out of […]

sniffle, cough, sniffle
Well, the first cold of the season is upon us. boo. Keely has a nasty cough and all the drippiness and crankiness that goes with it. Poor little girl. The only good part is that she has been very loving and cuddly because she feels so bad. So folks, you'll know what I'll be doing […]
ghost and a witch
This, well… this entertains me. That's how mommy plays dollhouse-makes ghost attire for the daddy. heh. My little witchling is zooming about the house. Interestingly, the witch hat can become an enormous raven beak/head with one swift move. Creepy. Care to read about the origin of the Jack-o-lantern, or other Halloween word origins? Have […]
A gift and skirting the issue.
First of all, I must thank sweet Laurie for the cutest little bundle she sent me in the mail. A couple lovely pieces of fabric, some lace and a awesome little bag of buttons and goodies. I do love me some buttons! It's so fun getting stuff in the mail. I should have shown a […]
haunting scenes…boo.
The other morning we woke up to this haunty looking fog scene.And then a ghost came too… So, I had to get out my witchy legs gear… And the seasonal books…for Keely and I. She loves that old, 1950's Now It's Fall book and Son of a Witch is the sequel to Wicked. And now […]
Mary had a little lamb….well 5 lambs actually, and now they are mine-all mine!
A few thrifty finds~ I find some good stuff I know, but I never find antique goods- not for reasonable prices anyway and I NEVER find beautiful old quilts. This one store that I go to has special little room of antiques. They are way too expensive for me, but for the past few weeks […]
doggie woggie
First, let me say that I don't generally dress-up my dog. O.k suuuure, when I was a child I was all about putting doll clothes on my pets. There are even photos to prove it. Sadly, I've left those wild & crazy days in my past- well, almost. Our pup, Caribou, is a small thing […]
It’s in the bag…
I made a new bag for fall/winter. Can you believe it has some patchwork action? I mean, that is so out of character. It didn't turn out quite how I was planning it, but there it is. Next on the sewing list is some kind of coat for my shivering dog. Don't laugh. —————— So, […]
Photographers
Oh yes. That's right. She's in business now. I love it. "Mommy, now we can be photographers together." Many moons ago I took a black & white photography class-shooting, darkroom developing, printing. I've been addicted ever since. I found this old camera in my box of stored photo. stuff. It's perfect for Keely to play […]
random
So, thank you on all the spooky kitty compliments. That's nice. I like it too. I use the scrabble holder thingy to spell out random things all the time, sometimes seasonal, sometimes just random. I like letter tiles of all sorts. Here's some of my growing collection for proof: Keely uses them to spell stuff […]
