March Memories

Google told me that 17 years ago today I was taking pictures of this rug. The close up you see is the strips that I cut and latch hooked onto a base that I crocheted to make the rug. It is heavy and washing machines don't always handle it well. I need to pay attention to what I wash with it to help maintain balance during the spin cycle. I love this rug, I made it, I am still using it in my home and will from the looks of it keep using it for a very long time. It will very likely outlast me and then my kids can figure out what to do with it when they have the chore of cleaning out mom's things. At that point I won't know or care.

In other grand news, it is raining to day here in the desert and it is so wonderful! Rainy days are so rare here and deserved to be enjoyed whenever we are blessed to have one. The patio is completely wet now and it is still raining. I can hear the drops hitting some of the windows and I love that sound! How do you feel about rainy days? I suppose it depends on whether you live in Phoenix or Seattle.

Back with more again soon.

Take care and stay cozy!

Below you can check out one of the affiliate posts I put up on Blue Sky yesterday. I like the look of this sweatshirt and it has pretty good reviews. I did notice however that in the product title it says 4 leaf clover when the image only has 3 leaves. Maybe they need to check their content better.

A question for you...

Will you be wearing green on the 17th or do you just not bother?

Shamrocks on Zazzle

Do you think of St. Patrick's Day when March begins? I do. I love the lovely green of springtime that it brings into my world. I suppose it does help that I am a bit Irish among other things.

I checked out Zazzle for shamrock items and was amazed at the range of things you can find to bring this fun yearly holiday into your home.

I found an article from 2010 on the National Geographic site that tells the story of this holiday. The article says that St. Patrick's Day with traditions of wearing green, the symbol of the shamrock everywhere, green beer and rivers and parades is an American invention. In Catholic Ireland it is really no different than any other saints day.

Now how about some of that stuff I found on Zazzle? Well here you go!


I thought this sticker was so pretty!


Wear your shamrock with a message of love.


Not sure if there is time to order invitations for this year but there's always next year and you are now proudly planning ahead. LOL

As for me, exercise is done, breakfast and getting dressed are done, podcasts are playing in the background, blog post is nearly done. The rest of the day will be working on listings in the Etsy shop. I will probably share more about those here later in the week.

Back with more again soon. Take care and stay cozy!

You know it is funny what you do sometimes. Jim is on a business trip. I have no plans to leave the house. I got up today showered and dressed in a green sweater.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all.

In 2 Weeks

It will be St. Patrick's Day in 2 weeks from today. That is in the US where it is celebrated on the 17th of March each year. It is a day for remembering all things Irish since so many Americans trace their roots back to Ireland. I am one of them myself. So I went window shopping on Silkfair to see what I could find and of course I came up with something for you to see that I think is certainly prettier than green beer and might even smell better than freshly baked soda bread.


This lovely soap is from the Desert Maiden Bathworks Shop. The seller describes the product this way-
Just in time for St. Patrick's day. Buy this bar for your favorite Irish man or lady! The orange is a Fizzling Tangerine scent. The white layer is Lemon Drops, and the green is our Twist and Shout Lime! Perfect for either scent and light enough to celebrate spring and refresh the senses!The Celtic oval represents the Irish's proud Celtic heritage!All my soaps are created using the highest quality bases and fragrance oils.
