Whole bunch 'o' Nuttin'...

Stacey @xstitcher (39015) • Petaluma, California 23 Dec

Watching the birds

Fleur @Fleura (34954) • United Kingdom 27 Jun 23

For the past couple of weeks I have been waking up early every morning, at around 5 am, which is both a blessing and a curse. I like to be up early in the summer, I feel like I’m getting a head-start on the day. The downside is...

Is the internet/ world-wide web a blessing or a curse?

Fleur @Fleura (34954) • United Kingdom 21 Mar 21

I often wonder this as I am a terrible procrastinator and hopelessly lacking in the ability to single-mindedly focus on one thing. Undoubtedly the web makes many things much easier and quicker - online shopping and banking, for...

Squirrel!

MrsJ @SophiaMorros (5044) • Belews Creek, North Carolina 1 Nov 18

Those of you who are familiar with the movie Up! will probably recognize my reference. Dug, the helpful talking dog is easily distracted. That is a very apt metaphor for my life. I go upstairs to a wash-cloth and notice that...
