Forgotten Flashbacks: September 7th 2014

Hello readers, This is a flashback that I didn’t get a chance to post this past Friday. This journal entry highlights the time I spent at my new-found bestie’s bridal shower.

Flashback Friday: August 23rd 2014

So here we are again for our last Friday in August. The weather in midwest is starting to cool off and fall is right around the corner. But summer is not over yet.

FlashBack Friday Kick-off Week! August 11, 2014

So this week comes to a close not with a bang, but on a sad note. During this time last year we were all sadden by the news of the death of Robin Williams. I try not to focus on what brought him to his end, but rather all the wonderful things he left us….

Flashback Friday Kickoff Week!: August 2-3, 2014

Welcome to the third day of my Flashback Friday Kickoff Week! Ahh…this was a wonderful memory! Running for chocolate! My niece and I participated in a 5K Chocolate run that was held in Chicago.

My First Hand-Spun Yarn and more!

So back in August this past year, I started on a new hobby that set my head spinning. You guessed it! It is spinning! No – not the cycling type of spinning but that type that makes yarn… So here it is my first own hand-spun, hand-dyed little creation! Being that this was my first spinning project,…

Black Hills Majesty, Part 3

Talk about a super-long time to wait for a conclusion of a story! As I talked about in the proceeding post, I was MIA for over six months. I hid myself away from the world and took a very long hiatus from all things digital. Now that I am back, I thought I shouldn’t leave…

Still Here

I find it ironic that every couple of months I fall off the face of the planet only come back to apologize and vow never do it again. LOL Life is never that simple. I realize this is one of my longest breaks ever since starting this blog and I feel bad that I have not…
