Love this site: KC Willis’ Lipstick Ranch

I first saw her Annie Oakley piece in…what?  “Cowboys & Indians”.  I think so.  I was some time ago.  So fast forward and I went looking for craft sites and found hers.  I’d love to take one of her online tutorials, or buy a dvd but I just can’t afford it.  So I look at [...]

Never Catching UP

I get depressed sometimes when I’m reminded how shaky my life is.  I think of two different girlfriends who needed new glasses and just went and bought them.  Another who had to charge it to a credit card and will take some time to pay it, but she was still able to get them.
It must [...]

The Tricks the Universe Plays

I started working for the county library as a library assistant eight years ago.  For about six months I was a Substitute and worked at about a dozen branch libraries.   When a 20-hour post went out at a brand new library, I went for it and got it.  Now I was a permanent employee [...]

Living close to the bone

Have you ever had absolutely no money?  I don’t mean your credit card is too full to use or there’s money in a cd somewhere.  I mean you have nothing.  It’s the kind of nothing were you go looking through all your handbags and totes and check the ashtray in the car.
I’ve been living this [...]

Great Whites…Sharks, I mean.

I’ve had a fascination of sharks in general since I was a kid and GW’s in particular since I read “Jaws”.  Somewhere in there I saw the documentary “Blue Water, White Death,” which was one of the first about the sharks and showed the true behavior – up to a point.
I watch Discovery Channel’s Shark Week [...]

FSS

I did the FSS ex. & can definately see the uses in library work.  It’s great to have confirmation about the publicity for our programs but also to get the titles of new books.  I can see using it for a genre or catagory that I don’t know about: Sci Fi or Vampire Romances! At least [...]

Trouble up a tree!

I let her out when I got home for work.  I watched her for a couple of minutes then went off to have dinner.  I left the back door on the latch so she could get in.  An hour or so later, I went out to find her.  It was still light but fading, so [...]

HANDMADE DOLLS I CALL GUDDIES!

These are fun little dolls shaped like gingerbread people.  I made them out of whatever fabric I have around and embellish them with buttons, beads, braid, ribbon…whatever.  That is the fun part!
The Arab one, the Habibis I made to sell at an Aramco Brat Reunion.  I also made some gentlemen dolls which were all sold [...]

del.icio.us account

My del.icio.us account is…http://del.icio.us/margotvictoria1350.  Now if I only had a cool computer to do all these fun things.  Sigh.

CHECK OUT COWGIRLS FOREVER!http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/?start_tab=sets

When I was a little girl, I loved Dale Evans & Roy Rogers.  I had a red cowgirl outfit, skirt and vest with white plastic fringe and, of course, a red hat with white plastic cording.   But it wasn’t only the outfit that I love, although that certainly had a lot to do with it, [...]
