Volunteering at The Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show this weekend.

Should be fun!

put your feet up awhile...

I recently completed this needlepoint project. The mosaic pattern is original; created as I went along using a variety of highly patterned stitches. The stool was a flea market find, stripped and finished with tung oil.

Create and locate color palettes from your photos and pictures using color hunter. I have switched up the colors using the header picture as an inspiration.

Very cool.

Summer hats

Time for the summer hats to be put away.

Harvest Moon

On Sunday night, I spotted a mellow, glowing Harvest Moon, and a beauty it was.

It was time for new readers. I chose eyebobs and chose well.

Naive and bourgeois...

An Education appears to be a good one.

Yesterday was a beautiful late summer day in the Washington DC area. A day that one must take advantage of and get outside all day, as the winter months are soon to arrive. It was also the day for the annual Husband-Wife Golf Championship at the Club. The Colonel and I participated, though sadly, not to the best of our abilities.



While practicing on the putting green, I observed a number of men in jackets, dark glasses and ear wires as well as a few black vehicles lurking around. This can mean only one thing, based on past occurrences with Bill Clinton having played golf at our course; President Obama must be heading over soon for a round of golf. Unfortunately, no tee time availed as the course was busy with members and their spouses, and the President would not be able to chase the little white ball around here on this afternoon.



Try again, Mr. President. Bring your sticks, balls and tees for some great fun! Much better than bowling. Trust me.
