For the record, and to clarify: I don’t dislike the new Stablemate version of Othello. I am just bemused and confused by the excitement over...

This has been another not-great week, and I will be grateful when it ends. (Without injury, I hope. No guarantee there, unfortunately.)  I a...

All my Spoon Tomato seedlings are either dead or dying for no discernable reason, and I didn’t get picked from the waitlist for Goldfinch, s...

The first thought that came to mind when I saw in-hand pictures of Goldfinch was: holy cats, this is My Girl all over again. The 2016 Vintag...

I used to think that a sure way to make money was to set up a live feed of some of our neighbors; while I have accepted that I am not normal...

A shorter one today: the weather turned frigid cold and all I want to do is hibernate until Spring arrives.  (FYI: this is typically late Ap...

Money is definitely not the issue: it’s my luck in Breyer drawings – especially the ones involving “exclusive” events – that’s pretty bad, s...

I was both expecting and not expecting to see the Rhian and Cadell set: expecting it because it’s both a British Pony breed and a Mare a...

One good thing about having a Silver as a Store Special? Not having to hear months of hobbyists fretting that no really, THIS will be the ye...

It’s a Glossy Jake for me, yay! Actually, I would have been completely happy with the Bandera, and was fully expecting it. So getting ...

Just a little head’s up here: I got hit with a double financial whammy this week – a bigger than expected tax bill, and some bad news from t...

Right now I happen to be working on a vintage quilt block called Odds and Ends. It’s a little known and challenging pattern involving a lot ...

I haven’t been in the right frame of mind to do much speculating about What This Year’s Surprise Model Will Be. The current line of thinking...

I spent most of my waking hours over the weekend organizing the last of the tax paperwork: I sold more, it’s true, but I also bought more, a...

Blizzards, man. Just something about having to drive in ‘em while they’re busy blizzarding that messes with the whole day. Makes me antsy an...

I decided to treat my three days off as actual days off. Didn’t get a whole lot done, other than bake some cookies, but I feel a whole lot b...

Did y’all miss me? Sorry about the lack of posts; as I’m sure you’ve guessed, I was a little busy last week. I barely had time to sleep, muc...
