So I stumbled across this list of 100 Best First Lines of Novels awhile back, and it got me to thinking about some of the best first lines of books that I've come across. So I decided to do a little review of my own favorite first lines (though I fudged just a bit,...
Meet Geraldyne!
Geraldyne Vinas Go say hi: Blog | Facebook | Twitter Hi, I'm Geraldyne. I'm a lucky Mexican girl married to the most wonderful man in the world (well, for me) and I have incredible friends that are like family for me. We live in Kirkland, WA (very close to Seattle)...
Food Ordering Habits
It could be said that I'm a picky eater (and I can imagine my mom just crowed in laughter at that understatement). I am a LOT better than I used to be as a kid, for sure, but I still tend to find something I like and just stick to that. I don't mind trying...
Tuesday Treasure Trove
I find this to be a very interesting idea: Cities Offering to Pay Student Debt to Gain Young Residents. 6 Ridiculous Lies You Believe About the Founding of America. I knew most of these, though I didn't realize plague killed off such a crazy large percentage of Native...
Recipe: Beef Picadillo Tacos

What I Wore: Chevron Breezy
I wore this earlier this week, just a typical day working from home and running a few errands. More proof that I'm addicted to stripes. Story about this skirt: I was at the mall (I know) visiting the Texas Store for goodies to send to my Foodie Pen Pal. I...

Sewing Update: Elephant Pillows!
Well, my sister received her gift earlier today, so I can finally unveil my pillow-making triumph with you all! ๐ This was my first interaction with my sewing machine *unsupervised* by the training staff at Sew Much More. Meaning I was at home and did everything...
Design Poll
Readers, today I'd like to pick your brains. I have too many ideas for the next print to develop for the shop, so I thought I'd ask your input. Keeping in mind that I still have lots of elephant prints planned, and will continue to print with my other screens as well:...
