Update
Not too much to report. We had a good week although I'm really starting to run out of stuff to do. Luckily we have the pool to walk to. Yesterday we took the kids to see "Ponyo", which was outstanding. Mike and I are huge Miazaki fans. I wrote a short review on my FaceBook page if anyone is interested ( Read more... ) -
Moments Before Bedtime...
...in fact, Katie was on her way to the stairs. She decided to burst into some dervish-like twirls and took a header into the corner of the arch from the kitchen to the dining room.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. The sewing weekend went well. I made a blue brocade over-skirt, finished the fancy trim on a short linen chemise, finished a pair of long bloomers, and made Andrew a new kilt. I planned to make Katie new garb, but she has to settle on 1 design first! Got to see some old friends and got to know a few new people ( Read more... ) -

Must. Get. In. Zone.
So Samhain is tomorrow and I feel badly that I plan to use a "canned" ritual. I would have like to put something new together but there's just too much going on. Aside from the election which distracts my every waking moment, I have to get the house cleaned and decorated (pirate skeletons climbing onto front porch with tattered jolly roger flying, ( Read more... )
