We will be setting sail for Alaska in few weeks - aboard Holland America!

I, like most people, was working today. I do have a nice job that lets me get outside and enjoy this kind of weather - so I got some work gardening done today. It is quite rewarding to work on the yard with the children. The weather [...]

Just when I was about to give up myself…another UFO is completed. Phew.
Behold: Sweet Mary Janes
They are so comfy cozy too. They will be my new work slippers since my Gorillas tore open on the bottom.

I had to take a sanity break from Uniscarfity. Trust me. I [...]
