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.

Who doesn't love a fabulous poncho??T I love, love, love this one. It was a gift from a great friend. But, unfortunately, I have been remiss. I changed out of my fancy dressup clothes and into traveling clothes just before the drive to the coast. And I lefty both...
day 8: different drum
Those of us in the #100daydresschallenge travel to the beat of a different drum. Mostly one that resonates with minimalism, sustainability, and camaraderie. We are a group moving together, but still separately. We each have our own agenda and our own start date. In...
day 7: coming around the mountain
Yes, she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes. Because, today is the day that I drive from Long Beach Washington to Portland... around the mountains, along the Columbia River, over some hills, and through small sleepy towns. I make the drive every week,...
day 6: do you wear a slip?
My mom asked me, "do you have to wear a slip with that dress?" And I replied, "Only if you want to." Well, today, I wanted to. It's the 6th day, and I am having a lot of fun. I find my self thinking... what if? Like What if I wear a slip, what if I put a...
day 5: belted
Day 5, and I was a bit worried about wearing it belted. I just didn't want to look like a gray potato sack trussed up in the middle. I think sometimes we get caught up with notions like this because of something we heard as a child or young person. Such as don't...
