Mom picked these cantaloupe from my plot at the community garden. All were orange inside but one. I didn't eat that one because I wasn't sure if it would taste right. I did taste the second smallest one and it tasted like cucumber. I'd love to grow more next year.
I've had this Duchess B6 for a couple of weeks now. It's a really nice sturdy leather even though it's quite thin. The color is a pinkish mauve. The photo is almost true to color. There is really no way to capture the true color of this leather, but it's truly gorgeous. Here's the unboxing... Continue Reading →
Two weekends ago, Mom picked courgettes (aka zucchinis) and gave me quite a bunch. The baby ones were juicy and delicious grilled. The larger ones I boiled and bagged and froze for occasions when I want to have them with a meal. Mom did this when I was young and she still does it now.... Continue Reading →
I purchased a garden plot earlier in the year in a community garden near my parent's home to grow some of my favorite vegetables. Now, I'm no gardener so Mom is taking care of it for me. She loves gardening and asked me to buy a plot so she could tend to it. She's been... Continue Reading →
I purchased this narrow traveler's notebook from Chic Sparrow and have fallen madly in love. It's gorgeous. I currently have a similar leather, a Mr. Darcy Lemon Drop, purchased three years ago, which has patinated to a nice darkish yellow (photos of it further down). The leather of the Dr. Darcy and Austen are exactly... Continue Reading →
I started bullet journaling not too long ago. I'd say, less than three years ago. This is my second official bujo notebook. I did some bujo here and there in other notebooks before going official. I wasn't sure what I wanted to bujo so I followed a few Youtubers until I found what I needed... Continue Reading →
Created this for my About Me page. I often start these projects and then never finish. I'm just happy I'm able to get one done. The images were from Unsplash except the one of me. It was a self-timed image with the Nikon DSLR taken about five years ago.
I began writing "Dear" letters to my daughters in hardcover notebooks in 2011 on and off. Recently, I merged their notebooks into softcover Moleskin notebooks and put them in a large traveler's notebook to keep them in one place. I sometimes include photos or bits and pieces of things they've written and tossed, even drawings... Continue Reading →
Took the Olympus to the front yard. The setting was on Shutter Priority Mode. Minor editing were done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Columbine. Pine cone from the giant pine tree in the yard. The tree is starting to brown at the top. I hope it's not a sign that it's dying. This is a ground... Continue Reading →
These photos were taken in RAW and converted to JPEG. Nothing else was done to them. I should also mention that the setting was on auto.
