My daughter asked me to buy her a flapper dress for a school play, but instead, I decided to make one. I've never sewn a full dress but I gave it a try. It didn't turn out too bad.

A Healthy Dinner and Veggies From The Farmer’s Market
Yesterday morning I went to the Farmer's Market and bought some broccoli and asparagus. I mainly went because I wanted to get a photo for the 365 challenge but the broccoli and asparagus were calling my name.

The Morning Walk/Jog With Teddy

Morning Beauties
{This photo can also be seen at 365 Gallery for today's theme, 'Peaceful Moments'} Just a few beautiful things from the yard this morning. A couple of ants on a peony bud.

A Burial and Level Books
Sunday evening, Kylie learned that her favorite fish, a beta named Bubbles, had died. He was found floating at the top of the fish tank. Kylie cried and cried. I've never seen anyone cry as much and as hard as she has over a little fish. She thought it was the water frog, whom also... Continue Reading →

I prefer my very old and comfy pair of Dansko clogs or sandles to heels anytime. ... Continue Reading →
