Wistful Thinking

March 5, 2010

Two garments live side by side in my closet. Hanging together … as they did many years ago. Neither is particularly attractive or stylish; both have seen better days.

Random Ramblings

July 6, 2007

I wish I had the opportunity to “ramble,” but without a car I’ve been stuck here at the house. Those of you who are fretting, because I don’t have the crocheted squares for [tag]Share A Square[/tag] that you have sent, please don’t worry. I’ll get my mail tomorrow and post more about it.
