Bliss cannot be sold. These are the last two weeks of 2020. What a year it has been. You may recall the theme for 2020 was the Year of the Tart. It certainly has been a flamboyant year. With the holidays, we've tried to focus on small items that bring us joy. That involved new…Read more Working From Home: Weeks 43 and 44
Food & Cooking
Craftvent Day 6
Happiness comes to those who make. ~ Rebecca Danger Today's quote is taken directly from my Day 6 crafty self-care item. As 2020 comes to a close, this is a good reminder that happiness comes from within. Many of us have had to dig deep with-in ourselves to find happiness this year. Beauty, joy, and…Read more Craftvent Day 6
Boxing Day Burgers
No one has ever become poor by giving. ~ Anne Frank It's Boxing Day. If you're American, you may have no idea what this day is about. You may even think this is about a sport.

Craftvent Day 5
Enjoy the little things in life; one day oy may look back and realize they were the big things. It's Christmas Eve here for those of you that celebrate this holiday.

Craftvent Day 4
If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time. ~ Billy Joel On the 4th day of Craftvent my unopened package reveled to me a surprise!

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~ E.E. Cummings Life is meant to be a challenge. For some, their challenge is learning how to think for oneself. For others, it's perseverance. And others, it's figuring out how to accept defeat gracefully. Often in life, I've learned the most from…Read more Working from Home: Week 42
The World is Not Enough
"Oh, pipe down 007." ~ Q As we're nearing the conclusion of our Bond movie quest, we've started spacing out the movies. Partially, this gives us time to decide what we'll watch after our Bond movie marathon concludes. It's partially because some of these movies feel very formulaic without much original story line or stunts.…Read more The World is Not Enough
Craftvent Day 3
Will you dare to be original? I can hardly believe that I'm posting about Craftvent Day 3 already, but there you have it. I'm posting about Day 3. I full expected the days with knitting to take me about a week to finish. The day job has been keeping me rather busy, and I'm working…Read more Craftvent Day 3
Celebrating Life: Breakfast for Dinner
“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” ~ Breakfast Club Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. Sure, it's safe to say I enjoy eating, but I love a good breakfast anytime of the day. Omelets, bagels, scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, pancakes, eggs benedict or toast, the…Read more Celebrating Life: Breakfast for Dinner
Working from Home: Week 41
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. ~ George Bernard Shaw It's been another 604,800 seconds. That's how many seconds are in a week. It's week 41 working from home. We are firmly into the Holiday season now. Are you making any new…Read more Working from Home: Week 41
