It only started to look like I was getting into fall colors because today’s look is neon, neon, neon. And finally using the ManixMe plates from ManixMe’s December 2022 Fun Fair box. I am so behind on those boxes. 😭 Anyway, I am also a big fan of the condom Read More

When I think of things like Oktoberfest, I naturally think of booze. Beer, though. Less exciting for me. A lot of different places have started throwing celebrations with the same name but Wikipedia seems to think this is essentially German.

I adore carousels. I still have a calendar that is over a decade old, but I won’t let go of it because it has carousel horses. I have a cross-stitch that is even older than the calendar that’s about halfway finished. I work on it every couple of years. Maybe Read More
