Claire suggested that I use leather or silk cord for this gold pendant. I finally got around to making this today. It was a great idea: the necklace can be worn casually or dressed up. Yay! And thanks to my aunt for the gold bar, which she gave me when I was far too young […]

Today we took a drive up to the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. It was cloudy and foggy, so we couldn’t see too much beyond the choppy waves that filled the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Had it been clear, we would have been able to see Victoria! Ah well. We visited the Dungeness […]

Just now as I was scrubbing down the kitchen sink thrice with Comet, discovering a blinding white gleam beneath the buildup of coffee stains etc, I thought to myself, “I would like to know about some good daily blogs.” Yes, the mind tends to wander during heavy cleaning.
