Congrats HollyinDC!

The whole point of an on-line cure, for me, is to give and get encouragement--so I'm grateful so many of you felt I was an inspiration to you. After all, we can paint stuff and move s...

I'm grinning like an idiot, looking at those pictures! I ran into a a few glitches, finishing up. and I have had to focus my attention on getting our family ready to go on a trip to Quebec an...

Oh good heavens. Thank you CQinDC. Lorijo/the farmer's daughter's energy always spurred me on whenever mine flagged (her list of accomplishments is much larger than mine--as was probab...

It's certainly an incentive to keep the toilet seat down. And "favourite" is not just British, but Canadian, Australian...in fact it's only Americans who spell favourite without the "u...

Can anyone say barnacle? or fungi?

I love chenille, actually. When I became acquainted with matelasse (through Martha Stewart, actually) I loved it because it reminded me of the patterns in chenille. I'm not sure why, l...

Omigoodness, I just had a flashback to my grandmother's dining room--and her HUGE mirror over the table! Not that it isn't funky or anything.

My outbox total was 535 lbs. 307 lbs of that were donations of good, re-usable stuff. (And it doesn't include the dresser I left by the curb--which someone actually took!)

DRAT! I got to slide 26 and then nothing. The red bar on the slideshow just kept running and running. Poot. Can this be fixed? Thanks for the pics! We're sti...

Have fun STLcolleen!

Wow, I never imagined. It makes sense though. The next time I get ticked someone is in "my" parjking space in front of the house, (forcing me to park in front of a neighbours house) I'll be gratefu...

Seshat--are you thinking of the Dremel? I love this. But I stay away from plastic bottles as much as possible....still, very cool.

Hmmm. I only have three closets for the house (in addition to the clothes closet in each bedroom) and I actually only cleaned out one of them. I found a Christmas present that should have been exch...

I can't imagine moving! I had to pack up my dining room last fall in order to paint. One room took about a week, and it reduced me to tears and anger. The chaos nearly undid me. Unpac...

Well, it turns out the clear surface is useful after all! We had two guests (at separate times) yesterday, and we used the clear space to put their shoes! Nice and safe f...

Do up a floor plan--I can't even tell what relationship the yellow sofa has to the rest of the room, let alone the TV. http://ww...

I don't understand--what has David Ries have to do with Jan Parr?

I have an interesting (and welcome) problem. For the last 8 weeks, my entry way cabinet has been piled with videos and books destined for our Church library. They finally went out the door o...

Hooray for all of us!
