I know it doesn’t look like much but this represents some success. So what was different? Well after sorting out the measurements, I followed the recipe almost exactly.

Our lighting needs at home are changing as you can see from the photo! We recently moved the living room to accommodate our new TV. But we will need to change our lighting as well. We have several iron style chandeliers in the livingroom with lots of bulbs. But as you see I need to…

It’s rare that a fashion designer who is 28 years old can garner as much attention as Jason Wu did in 2008 when he designed the gown that Michelle Obama wore to the inauguration ball! What an accolade for a Taiwanese designer! (picture linked to story). When asked what fabrics he liked for his Target…
Our neighbor, The Elephant is dragging furniture again! Each time she does it, it sounds like thunder. Perhaps I can pretend that it is! Really drives me nuts! It seems to be like she can’t stand herself… and she takes her frustration out with a fury of cleaning… But apparently her husband chose the furniture….
