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:
day 28: dream a little dream
Dream a little dream, maybe of a simpler life... or maybe just a warmer life! And I really can't complain. The sun came out for a bit at the beach, and it was so wonderful. And then I drove to Portland. But, really, I am grateful to be in a part of town that has...
day 27: rainy day people
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow they can't rise above. -- Gordon Lightfoot There seems to be a lot of sorrow these days, a lot of things that aren't exactly working out the way we planned. But that is life sometimes. Unfortunately. My goal is to just try...
day 26: wooly bully
This photo makes me look a little like a bully! But a wooly bully would be ok. I am not quite sure what I was thinking when I put together this outfit. Seriously. It started with the shirt. Which I love, even though it is 2 sizes too big. Then, I thought, aprons...
appalachian flatfooting and clogging: week 2
It is almost the end of week 2 of my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Challenge. And, I can honestly say that I am seeing some progress. I have to admit.... I practiced a lot. I was a little nervous about showing up after I stated this HUGE intention for learning...
day 25: wildflowers
Wildflowers - we belong among them! Or in this case, wrapped up in wildflowers. The more I look at this shirt, the more I like it. It was one from my thrift shop excursion last week. At $2 bucks, I didn't even look at it that closely, but went on the weight of the...
day 24: blue
Blue is just one of those colors. I love blues, but mostly think of myself as a pink person. I have a lot of turquoise jewelry, and even a turquoise and white Honda 50 scooter... and a ton of blue jean and chambray shirts. An blue really seems to pair well with my...
Love your newest journey! What fun! You did a great job with your first listen. I think you got it, gurl!
