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.

#tracywearswool day 60 out of 100 -- and I can't believe all the ch-ch-ch changes so far For one thing... I would never in a million years think of wearing 2 dresses at once. Or ... knotting a dress to hitch it up. Or, wear them with leggings and Frye boots. And...

#tracywearswool I can't believe that it is day 59!! And I have that song in my head: good day sunshine... Do you ever get a song stuck in your head, and it keeps popping up all day? I do, almost every day. It is one of the ways I title my blog posts. More often...
day 58 of #tracywearswool: singing in the rain
#tracywearswool and singing in the rain! Which is easy to do in the Pacific Northwest! But really, any reason is a good reason to sing. In 2017, I had spine surgery on my neck. I went in as an alto in a church choir. When I woke up... I sound like a middle-aged,...
day 57 of #tracywearswool: green grow the rushes o
#tracywearswool and songs from our past... I remember this song from childhood. We all seemed to learn it, at they YMCA or scouts, or camp, or someplace like that. So that when you hear the words or the tune... you instantly remember the song... or bits of it. ...
day 56 of #tracywearswool: song sung blue
Song sung blue, everybody knows one. But when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again. Song is a wonderful healer. And I thing that everyone is born with the ability to sing. But sometimes it happens, that someone tells us we aren't any good, or...
day 55 of #tracywearswool: touch of gray
Every silver lining's got a touch of gray. But, really, that is what keeps it real. It's not all black and white these days... but more mixed up ... much more grayscale. Dare I say... shades of gray? Ok... maybe mixing it up a little too much. The important thing...
Love your newest journey! What fun! You did a great job with your first listen. I think you got it, gurl!
