You can look at this two different ways depending on how you feel about Steinbeck.

Wordless on Tuesday?! Yes, I'm switching to Tuesday. Wordless Wednesdays have hundreds of participants. I'd get so overwhelmed, I wouldn't visit anyone and they must feel the same because no one visits me!

For Clementines.

Check out my Guest Post at Historical Tapestry!

Poppet Coco arrived in the mail last week.

The way her head is tilted, it gives me the impression that she's a bit of a diva.

Gourdie ought to know better.

I had to go the ER last night because I had a fever of 100.3 and some redness at the incision site. We had to leave Noah behind with my mother because we didn't want him exposed to the many diseases there. After six hours of test they narrowed down the possibilities to an infection in my uterus or early onset of mastis. They put me on an antibiotic and told me to get in with my doctor some time this week to check on me further. Dan and I were a wreck being away from Noah for so long for the first time. That and not knowing what was wrong was enough to do us both in.

On a good note, baby is cute as can be and was very happy to have me come home. We nursed for two hours last night when I got home.

Scribbit (Michelle) continues her Winter Bazaar. I ran out of ideas ages ago. I'm impressed that Michelle seems to have a never ending supply of them.

I did think of this one though. Something pretty for spring: Flower Hair Clip.

You need a bouquet of silk flowers (Dollarama)
A pair of wire cutters
floral tape
hair clips (spring loaded)

My hubby took these photos last night during the eclipse. I watched from the window. I wasn't standing around in the cold!

This ones kinda spooky. A cloud was just moving in front of the moon.

Since I'm reading Fahrenheit 451, I made an Etsy Treasury in tribute:

I'm going to be late getting back to commenters and blogging in general. 4 words: whiny kid, ear infection.

Happy April Fool's Day!!!!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

A few fun favorites:

A Little Girl's Fairy Tale

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Does anyone know how long boiled eggs will keep unrefridgerated? We made these last week from regular food colour (10 drops), a cup of water and 1 Tbsp of vinegar. A clear wax crayon was used for the designs. Simple and fun.

Happy Easter!!!!

For my birthday, we welcomed a new member to our family. She doesn't have a name yet. Since our other cat has a name but we just call her kitty, I want a name that will stick. Two Kitties would be confusing!

I finally decided on my picks for the Novella Challenge. If you don't remember, the rules are read 6 novellas (100-250 pgs) between April and September 2008.

1. Lesley Castle: Jane Austen
2. Stardust: Neil Gaiman
3. Fahrenheit 451: Ray Bradbury
4. Breakfast at Tiffany's: Truman Capote
5. The Lifted Veil: George Eliot
6. Summer: Edith Wharton

I've been looking forward to reading these for awhile and now I have the perfect reason to take them off the TBR list.
