Year of Pleasures: Winter Coat

Posted on: November 20, 2012 Last updated on: September 1, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

Best Weekend

Posted on: May 11, 2009 Last updated on: November 4, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
What a wonderful way to spend a day. Snuggled up to my favorite little guy while my favorite big guy makes me breakfast in bed. Homemade pastry with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. It was perfection. And I only had…

Months and months ago Bear and I worked together one weekend and we finally made a super deluxe kitty scratching post. So super fancy you couldn’t get one this decked out at any price. The kitties adore it, and I…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…

We Can Do It

I’ve spent the entire last six weeks sewing my heart out. Sustainably at first, just one project among many I’d spend my time on. A little ironing here, a little sewing there. When I started, people were still scoffing at…
