I don't do muggy

you know, you would think that being raised in the South would make me somewhat resistant to heat and humidity. almost like i should have a special protective layer that Northerners just wouldn't have that would make me more tolerant of the temperature.

but, no. i think i am exactly the opposite. i am finding that out of all the people i know here, i am the one who is most sensitive to the heat! sweating, moaning, miserable. i'm a mess! and it's only June!

Luxes and tigers and bears, oh my!

New endeavours

So in between all the yard and house projects we have, I've decided that I need some hobbies to occupy my time.

I've started learning how to play the drums (much to my neighbors' delight!). I have a long way to go with that, but it's a great way to decompress after work!

I've become ADDICTED to crossword puzzles. (I am quite sure that I was genetically destined to this, it just took a while to surface).

I've also started to try my hand at sewing bags and purses. Over the years I have collected some really cool vintage fabrics from thrift stores and such. I figured this might be a great way to use it and maybe even make some money one day! I've never attempted sewing without a pattern, but I'm finding it to be much easier and more fun.

These are pictures of my first 2 bags. Hopefully there will be more to come!

Hi everybody!

Well we've created another project for ourselves, but I really think this will be fun!

This way we can share what we've been up to with everyone without clogging up your inboxes! I know that makes you happy!

We'll try to be good at posting! We promise! Love to all! L&D
