Ewan spent his Sunday on the Aluminum Overcast – a refurbished B-17 bomber from WWII. He had a fantastic time, and we posted pictures on our photo site for you all to see. Happy 30th Birthday Ewan!

Now that I’ve been sufficiently pestered, I’m posting links to my segment on The Martha Stewart Show and my interview with Madison NBC 15. I promise to be good and update you all more fequently. Pinky Swear.
You can watch a high quality version of my segment (me teaching Martha how to make Muskox and Polar [...]
Frost

That frost on the kitchen window really threw me for a loop this morning. Frost? Really? Already? But Christmas season is in full swing, even if I haven’t caught up to the rest of the world. I have so much to do, but somehow I know it will all get done. I’m looking forward to the candy [...]

Summer Marathon

Wow! I can’t believe the summer’s gone already. Here are a couple of things I could have been writing about.
There were several trips to the zoo – both the Henry Vilas and the Milwaukee County – during which I spent hours taking photos. Always a good time.
In July I practiced my henna skills on both hands. The [...]

Welcome to my new blog! I know it’s been a long time since I last posted, but I’ve been busy setting up Orange Moon Toys with my sister, Robin. Right now we are only selling shadow puppets, but we plan to make mobiles and other things in the future, too.
Life has been a bit crazy [...]
The Best Holiday Surprise Ever

My dear sister, who can NEVER keep a secret, managed to keep a really big one for two whole weeks until Christmas. She and her husband surprised us with pictures of their new son! He is about eight months old and is living with his foster family in northern Thailand. I can’t wait to spoil him.
Ready for the Snow
Posted in Beasties, Family and Friends, tagged dez, snow on 9 December 2007 | 1 Comment »
Dez finally got outfitted for the snow (which has been falling in buckets for a while now). I broke down and bought him a sweater and boots, because his coat that I’m sewing for him won’t be done for at least another week. I’m not crazy about dressing up pets, but as a desert dog [...]
All in a Day’s Work
Posted in Family and Friends, tagged snow on 3 December 2007 | 1 Comment »
We got our first snowfall just in time for December, and the good stuff fell late last night. That meant a lot of communal shoveling in our neighborhood. It also meant that our neighbor across the street started his traditional building project. From the sound of things, he has been building anything and everything from [...]
Agadez the Canine Typhoon
Posted in Beasties, Family and Friends, tagged dez, dog on 3 December 2007 | 1 Comment »
I tried for days to get a picture of Dez to post here, and instead I got images of what appears to be a ghost dog haunting our house. Just about the only way to tell that he’s real is the nose print on the window. He did settle down for about five seconds once [...]
