Everyday on our way to and from work Jeremy and I pass by a cemetary. We always wonder about the Confederate grave markers - we can see them from the road. I think we're curious about them because we're not from here originally and back where we are from, no one really talks about the Civil War (except in school, of course). ...

I know I said I was going to make a hat with the African fabrics, but I made a patchwork bag first. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I got the pattern from the Posie gets cozy blog, which I love. Anyway, hat this weekend. I made one last weekend, but the brim is way too wide and it looks funny. So, I'm attempting it again this weekend...

I've been trying out new things in my crafting, mostly because of my new Hello Kitty sewing machine (thank you target.com). Sometimes these projects work: ...

As most of you who regularly read my TG blog know, I'm obsessed with crafting. I haven't been knitting much, mostly because it's way too hot out to think about woolen items. If I could knit a fan that worked and kept me cool, then things would be different...

All of them enjoy getting into trouble, like with what happened this morning: I got up around 4am to use the bathroom and as I was walking into the bathroom Josie and Hartley started going crazy. I thought it was because of the cats. But I was hearing a new noise. It was a faint squeak. I thought maybe it was a mouse and was dreading looking...

I came across this news article on yahoo.com about a former Manson family follower being denied parole even though she's dying of brain cancer and can barely move. I thought initially it was kind of sad. Her family wants to be with her in her final days, but can't because she was just denied release. ...

I found this picture whilst browsing flickr, here. It's really cool. I love the blue tin cans on the wall. I think since our place is brick, I might look into doing this next summer. I'll have to look into seeing if it will damage the brick though, first...

I was talking to a friend of mine today and he was complaining about one of his co-workers. I'm pretty lucky in my job in that I really like everyone I work with, but it got me thinking about how I dealt with annoying and/or toxic co-workers in the past. ...
