Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on …
Creativity… I never thought of myself as a particularly creative person. I couldn’t draw, play a musical instrument, or do anything I considered creative. I was very, very tunnel-visioned in my thinking. It wasn’t until after I retired that I realized I’d been funneling all my creativity into my teaching. I had to create bulletin …
Number #23 Honestly, I didn’t mean to skip January and thought long and hard about skipping February! But, I thought that would be a bad habit to get into, and Lord knows I have plenty of bad habits! So, I’m going to try to put in what I remember of January along with February. I …
Week #95! It’s funny that last week I was talking about four inches of snow, and this week, we had temperatures in the 50s (11.7 C). I even saw a hyacinth poking through.

Good Monday morning, my friends! It’s been bright and sunny but very cold here in Central Indiana. This week is supposed to see a warm up, and I’m ready for it. I just hope my plants don’t wake up only to be frozen when the temperatures will inevitably fall again. Anyway, welcome to the last …
Week #94! It continues to be extremely cold in Central Indiana. Last night, it snowed again. Nigel said we got four inches of snow. It is that beautiful snow that squeaks when you walk across it and glitters like diamond dust strewn across your yard. It’s supposed to warm up quite a bit next week …
Global writing challenge… Last year, I joined the Global Writing Challenge group as a permanent member. We’ve had some changes in membership with the New Year. Now, our group consists of MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Women Over 50 Living Well, Suzy Turner, Once Upon a Time Happily Ever After, Rosie Amber, and me. We are bidding a maybe not …
You know, last month, I began with talking about my hair. So, let’s do the same this month! I honestly didn’t consider my hair color and how it would match this prompt. My hairstylist has been wanting me to try pink for a long time. I finally caved when she said she’d get hot pink! …
