I'm loving this…

While I am spotlighting my favorite blogs, I am also finding wonderful inspiration and getting to know my fellow bloggers.  It’s a win-win situation for all. I love Babybug‘s idea to sew fabric scrapbooking stickers on shirts for a quick gift or personalized item. I know Christmas has been over for almost a month but… Continue reading I'm loving this…

On being laughed at in Korea…

I woke up to John calling me at 10:00 this morning. For those of you that don’t know, John is my new boss here in Korea. He is the director of my new place of employment. I will work at a private English school on the 3rd floor of a large building across from a… Continue reading On being laughed at in Korea…

More fab blogs…

Okay, some more plugs for my favorite blogs… My wonderfully talented cousin Carissa makes beautiful felted jewelry and has also jumped into the blog world with her new blog Wound Up Tight. Her work is beautiful and I’m not just saying that because she’s related to me or because her daughters were my flowergirls, she… Continue reading More fab blogs…

I can never think of any catchy titles…

Ok, not really in alphabetical order but I just found a really cool site.  How Can I Recycle This? is a site where people find ways to reuse and recycle items they don’t otherwise know what to do with.  I don’t do enough recycling and while the site is a little quirky for me, I… Continue reading I can never think of any catchy titles…

Just call me a blogaholic…

I can’t get enough blogs! I look at them whenever I can steal a moment at my computer. Sometimes, no actually, all the time, I spend more time looking at other people’s blogs then I do at actual crafts. I have a few theories on this… The first being, inspiration. I love all the projects… Continue reading Just call me a blogaholic…

Laziness and not much sleep…

I thought I was doing so well with my adjustment to sleeping during what my body believes to be day and staying awake at night.  Jet lag, I thought, not me.  Yeah, well, think again!  I can’t sleep at night and my Ambien prescription is slowly diminishing.  I am wide awake at what is midnight… Continue reading Laziness and not much sleep…

Morning and night…

Fried egg and swiss on a toasted onion bagel with a steaming cup of Chai latte. Oreos and milk are the same no matter where you go. There is nothing like having your comfort foods when you are halfway around the world. The walls and counter of this kitchen remind me of a stark hospital… Continue reading Morning and night…

Sunday night…

It’s been a few days since my last blog and a lot has happened since Friday. Friday morning: Joe and I were back and forth between housing, Miss Sue and our new apt. at Dong Bu.  After a lot of paperwork and a half dozen cab rides back and forth from Dong Bu to the… Continue reading Sunday night…

3rd Day in Korea

9:00 AM An appointment with Mr. “O” at the housing office confirmed that all we need to do before moving into Dong Bue apartments was to get our new apt. inspected. Hopefully it’s that easy tomorrow when we do the actual inspection. After my appointment with Mr. “O” I walked over to the base library… Continue reading 3rd Day in Korea

WIP – I call it “ADD”

So here we are in Korea and I am fiending for my sewing machine. It is not guaranteed to arrive until Jan. 19th so I will have to survive on knitting and embroidery. This is the view out of my hotel room as the sun was coming up. I have a Valentine’s scarf in progress… Continue reading WIP – I call it “ADD”
