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.

day 44: blue jean
Blue Jean -- whoever invented it is a genius! Apparently a collaboration between Jacob Davis and Levi Straus!! I particularly like it in a dress! Although I used to have an overall dress that I loved in the '70s -- I think we called them Hogwashers. Wish I...
day 43: downtown
Here's what I came up with for today! Downtown -- at least once a week, I like to go out and get all my errands and shopping done. And maybe have a little happy hour. But it is Lent right now --In case you didn't know - and I have given up... Alcohol. And I...
day 42: hair
Yep -- did the hair thing... and boy was it liberating!! I haven't had a real haircut since September 2017. And a lot has happened since then... not just the 2 feet of hair that I grew! But it was getting too long, and weighing me down, literally and...
day 41: drive my car
Drive my car? I was happy to be taken up on it for the drive to Portland... so I could spend a couple of hours on #1's sweater. Usually, I am always the driver on the trip. Mostly because I am the only one with opposable thumbs. Comes in handy for things like......
Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging with Tracy: Week 4
I heard that if you can't laugh at yourself...don't take up Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging. It's week 4... And actually, I made that up. But for me it makes sense. This week has been challenging and fun... and I have laughed a lot at myself in the process. I...
day 40: down to the water
What do you wear when you go down to the water in the PNW? When I think of going down to the water, down to the beach, I usually think of bathing suits, and shorts, sandals, sundresses, and towels. I think of the smell of sunscreen and sandy blankets. That...
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!!
