Look at this!  I found these adorable pink and green earrings at TV Tray Art Designs, an Etsy shop, when I was trolling for yarn the other day.  These are little swatches of  paper, under glass, with lead-free solder frames and Swarovs

I took the day off from work so Neal and I could get our gardening done. I always love to plant fresh herbs to use in cooking, especially basil; this year I have four kinds. There are also four varieties of tomatoes - three miniatures and one f

Yesterday I felt like I was trapped in the Land of 10,000 Stinks. It's a not-so-mythical place (Baltimore City) where everything smells bad. During my 40+ minute wait and my hour-long bus ride home last afternoon, I experienced the gamut
