Based On A True Story

Romance   I’m an unapologetic romance reader.  I specifically like historical romances in just about any time period. My grandmother got me started reading them.  She subscribed to Harlequin and got books mailed to her.  She read all the new […]

Paul Facts about Paul: He came here as a very timid boy.  It took him 2 years before he was brave enough to go into the living room. He believes in rules.  Anyone in the house who isn’t following the […]

Olympics I love the Olympics. I’m always glued to my screen watching all of it that I can. However, I’ve never been the person who is into the sports that sportscasters seem to think I want to see. I was […]

Nonsense One of the things I love most in the world is nonsense. I love the power of a mind with a lot of imagination to create something absolutely absurd. I remember feeling this for the first time when I […]

Lucy   Facts about Lucy: She is the ultimate immoveable object.  She sleeps between my knees and no amount of moving or kicking will dislodge her.  If I need her to move, I need to lift up the blanket that […]

Kayaking   For the past few years I’ve been thinking that I would like to be a person who kayaks.  It seemed like a fun lifestyle.  Unfortunately I live too far away from the lake to easily run up there […]

Jules   Facts about Jules: She is a Senegal parrot. Based on the band on her leg we think she was born in 2005. We adopted her from a rescue in 2010. She hates my husband.  I tried to make […]

Iceland Iceland is one of my bucket list trips. It is almost the perfect place for me. When I think of Iceland I think of three things:           Ponies!  Yes, I know that they are officially […]

Harp Why did I want to learn to play the harp?  I blames movies and TV. In the movie A Mighty Wind Catherine O’Hara plays a little dulcimer.  (I think it is a dulcimer.)  I thought it was really cool.  […]

It is always good to know who or what you want to be when you grow up. I have a goal in mind. I want to be Granny Weatherwax.    Granny is a witch from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. She […]

Facemasks   I’ve bowed to necessity and started to make some homemade face masks.  I have a very limited supply of surgical masks at work.  I decided to make some for home use. This is the pattern I used.   They […]

Entrepreneur   First of all, I’ll admit that I totally can’t spell that word at all.  I have to Google it every time. I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur.  I’ve wanted to have my own business.  The problem is […]

De La Prominade   One of my quilting works in progress is a pattern called De la prominade.  It is from Quilt Fusion.  I don’t usually buy a lot of patterns but I loved this one from the moment I […]

There is a C-word that would be the obvious thing to write about at this time in history but I’m not having it. Instead I’m going to write about my Creativity Hat.   I got this hat to use as […]

Bread   I know I’m not the only person on Earth right now whose brain has spiraled down this rabbit hole: “Well, that’s it.  This is the end of civilization as we know it.  Better learn some useful skills.  I […]
