Admittedly I’m behind on my Christmas tags but not too much! This weekend put my oven into full swing for the holidays – a long, slow 4 hour bake for a traditional English Christmas cake. Now, to “feed” the cake brandy for the next three weeks! I did, however, manage to get some time in my craft room and first up was the Week #8 Christmas tag for the 12 tags of Christmas -- Funkie Junkie style. There is still time for you to join in the challenge! The challenge is sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique and the challenge rules and inspiration can be found on the Funkie Junkie blog. […]
READ MOREWe have officially moved into the “Christmas season” at our house but I had one more Autumn/Thanksgiving project to make this weekend. The current challenge on the Frilly and Funky blog is a Bountiful Harvest. The challenge is generously sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. To be honest, I was really pushing it this holiday week with all of the baking for Thanksgiving and then decking the house and my office with Christmas trees and garland. I think I will be wearing glitter for the next month after putting up 20+ garlands and 10+ trees. So it was a bit of a relief to work with some of the rich hues of autumn for this project. […]

Oh the trees are frightfully bare! My gardens are all cleaned out, the dirt turned over ready for spring, and the containers all packed away in the garage. The only thing left outside that’s green is the lawn but even that will soon lose its color as we head into the deep autumn despite still enjoying 70 degree days. As October comes to a close and after I manage to get in some extra calorie burning by raking up all of the leaves from the neighbors’ trees, I pulled together one more Halloween project before I put aside the ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, and bones to work on some projects for Thanksgiving and then Christmas. The current challenge on the Frilly & Funkie Blog is A Very Vintage Halloween. The challenge is generously sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique. […]
’Tis the season for colds – nothing like an autumn cold to start it all off right?

And, I worked on Week #3 of the 12 Tags of Christmas – Funkie Junkie style. The challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Linda’s blog has all of the rules and there is still time to join in the challenge! […]
READ MOREHello! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I’m sure that everyone has started to experience the cooler temperatures and changing colors of autumn. I spent a day of my weekend tackling 26.2 miles on foot across Chicago. I made it. I might have not looked pretty doing it but I got it done. Thank you to Chicago and all of the spectators, in particular my own cheering squad, for cheering me on!!! […]
