In typical fashion, I am flitting around my different projects. Last night found me playing with Corel Draw. I really need to learn how to u...

Jeff and I managed to get the guest room all cleaned out for our guest. (No pictures at the moment, because the room is already occupied.) M...

I found another chapter on portiéres (room door curtains), and, as usual, I am sharing it. Who knows if anyone is interested in this besides...

One of the things I like to cover in my blog are topics that are only rarely covered elsewhere (perhaps for good reason LOL). In my recent b...

It is perhaps silly to give daily reports on our labors, but when we've spent a number of hours on a project it's hard not to. It...
