Crazy was the name of the game today. Nuts, Cray-Cray, Wacky, Insane.
The weather was crazy wild. Lots of wind, and stinging rain. So… no one wanted to go outside much. Expecially me. Well, I am the only person here. But the dogs didn’t want to go out either…. which made me… and them a little crazy.
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
But I got up and dressed up anyway. Because that is what I committed to doing. And it is only day 18….
What’s in store today:
Actually, I was pretty busy, all considered. I had my first lesson for Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, and learned a little dance combination. Then I filmed my feet doing it, and made a blog page — you can see it HERE.
Then I spent pretty much the rest of the day pulling my hair out, trying to figure out why some photos on my blog were loading and some were not…
Problem solved. At this rate, I should look into a wig.
Here’s what I came up with for today!
I threw an oversized JJill Chambray shirt over Woolamina. I like the mandarin collar, and monkey fist knotted buttons. And the length hides all manner of sins.Bracelet was from a trip to Mexico a few years back.
Little embroidered bandolier bag was from Amazon. I think I got it for Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara. Under $13 — holds a lot more than it looks. Click HERE for more.
Me… getting photobombed by the dogs… oh well. I need to do some posts with knitting projects!
(Have you seen my knitting page.??)
Virgin of Guadalupe pendant. I may have gotten that at the Grotto in Portland. Amazing grounds and sanctuary. ANd the gift shop is great.
The Dude is officially back from Helping #1. His job is done there, and I was missing having him at the beach. I am not so sure he was missing Rainey too much… although Rainey and I were in Portland everyweek.
WHEW!
The Dude is just a cranky old man dog… always has been. And Rainey likes to play… all the time, running around all cray-cray, pulling the pillows and blankets off everything, and crewing on Dude’s feet.

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
2022 day 11
Day 11 Day 11 and a bit warmer. Which I am really glad to see. I am looking forward to getting some work done in the garden, but it won't be today. Too much other stuff going on. Oh well, all those soggy old wood chips that have been getting heavier...
2022 day 10
Day 10 Day 10 dawned icy, cold, and foggy. I was grateful that I didn't have to be out on the slippery road. Instead, I got to sit in my comfy chair, working on my sweater, and listening to audio books. For a few minutes, at least...until the dogs had to...
2022 day 7, 8, 9
Day 7, 8, 9 I know that Day 7, 8, 9 isn't technically correct, but it works better for the google search engine. It is the way of the web, formulas that we use to try to get our blog posts seen by more people. I just didn't want anyone pulling out their copy...
2022 day 6
Day 6 Day 6 was all the way up in the low 50s, so I took advantage of the pleasantly balmy weather to get the 250 tulip bulbs that I had ordered late into their intended spot. I can't wait until spring comes. Tulips do really well up here in Portland, and...
2022 day 5
Day 5 Day 5 was a busy one. All the regular stuff, plus a trip to the Post Office to mail something to Holly, the beautiful daughter of a fellow "woolie" -- someone who also did the 100 day dress challenge. I had a pleasant trip to Trader Joes, and while...
2022 day 4
Day 4 Day 4 warmed up a bit. And not a bit too soon for me. It was still chilly, but up in the 40s. And that gave me a little bit of time to get things straightened up outside. I still haven't gotten the tulip bulbs in, but that is coming...next warm...
Love your newest journey! What fun! You did a great job with your first listen. I think you got it, gurl!
Thanks, Denise!! I had a ton of fun!!
