I want to talk about a favorite of mine
What’s your creative weapon of choice? Brushes, pens, or pencils?
Pencils? That’s what you use, Vicki? Seriously? If you ran into me working, you’ll probably see three things–4×4 ruled sticky notes, a large calendar book, and yellow mechanical pencils. Yes, pencils. I wouldn’t use a brush. I’m so not a painter like our beloved Kathryn. As for pens? A long time ago, I took shorthand….
What Provides Inspiration? Certainly not a Colonoscopy
Like many of you, staying at home because of Covid gave Handsome and I have found inspiration to work on projects around the house. We are avid fans of HGTV. So we have been educated enough to be dangerous. We’ve worked on the yard. Reworked our garages, adding new openers and electrical outlets for future…
That’s Entertainment!
Staying home means finding things for Handsome and me to do. We love movies and thank goodness for TCM. Old movies rock. And no matter how many times I watch an oldie but goodie, I’ll watch it again. Here’s some I love: Bridget Jones’ Diary-romantic comedy: a reinterpretation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice….
Starry Night
When we look up at the heavens, we are captivated by the stars. They winkle and twinkle. They form constellations. We are guided by them. Isn’t it joyous to lay on soft grass and stare up with a loved one by our side? I love all things Christmas. I have many wonderful memories of decorating the…
Childhood Memory of Christmas
When I was younger, my family’s next-door neighbor, gave my mom a Christmas gift. Instantly, I fell in love. She was made of styrofoam, fuzzy pipe cleaners, sequins, and curly hair. A regular pipe cleaner was used to fasten her to the top of the Christmas tree which Mom did for many years. Until she…
Terrible at Keeping Secrets
I don’t really have a BIG secret. However, this one is important to me (and hopefully, you!). Last year, I decided on two new writing projects. Oh my, how the work tied me in knots. I was still working on my third romantic comedy mystery. I’ve plowed through and turned it in. I’m working on…
Noteworthy
Recently, Handsome and I traveled to Italy and boarded a small ship to sail the Adriatic Sea. I like to journal when traveling. I jot down what we did, the weather (unbelievably hot), good–good and bad, but mostly good, people we met, aches and pains, etc. I took a keyboard which bluetoothed with my iPhone…
Something new!
Well, lots of somethings new around here. First and foremost: a baby girl will be added to my family. We’re so excited to welcome her. My #1son is about to jump out of his skin. Second: a new book released–Sommerville days. Many of you know my love for stories with fun and sassy…
