We continued our St Patrick’s Day celebrations last night. I did a beef roast in the crock pot, roast vegetables and sautéed cabbage. We had a friend over for dinner & sadly in getting everything ready, I forgot to take photos. Sigh. For details of this challenge, click here.
We always have a St Patrick’s Day meal with my parents, but we don’t always get together on St Patrick’s Day. So Mom made this amazing meal earlier this week and I had to capture it on film.

I’m quite happy with my outfit today. I’m wearing a shawl that I’ve had in my closet for ages, but haven’t worn – I wish I had sooner – it’s lovely & comfortable & warm.

March 14 (3-14) is Pi Day! We celebrated Jude’s Pi day when he was 3.14 years old. It was a great day – pie for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Colin taught Jude what Pi means & they had a great time. I’m glad that Pi Day comes around every year. For Pi Day this year, … More Challenge #4 Pi Day!
OK, so there is no Outfit #9. I was out of town for the day on Friday & didn’t have time to take a picture before I left & was too tired when I got home. It was a cool one too! Very 60s. I made a dress out of some fabric that my sister … More Challenge #6 Outfits 9, 10, 11, 12
I wanted to spruce up my header so I used this tutorial for a lomo look. I really liked how easy it was & the effect is super cool. Header Before: Header After: Has way more punch! I like it. I also tried out the effect on a picture of my oldest son. Love how … More Challenge #1 Lomography
