She's Crafty!

People are constantly asking me, "So, what are you going to do now?" Like I don't do enough already!

One of the things I like to do is make stuff! I have been into knitting cool things for about a year and some of my Canadian friends have resparked my interest in creating cigar box purses again!

It is nice having an adoring public to design for...





I quit my job blowin' leaves...

I finally stood up and told that money hungry, slave-driver boss of mine to take this job and shove it! My resignation letter is on her desk!

Goodbye bruised shins! Goodbye dirt-stained clothes! Goodbye repetitive motion syndrome! Goodbye broken fingernails! Goodbye cuts and scrapes! Goodbye black boogies! Goodbye Oasis Landscapes!

So how were your holidays, deb? BUSY!!!

I was a social butterfly this holiday season!

On Christmas Day I made six stops...First to bestow oatmeal cookies on the ex and his mom Becky and Captain Jim--Jim approves of the cookies. Then it was off to downtown Savannah to the Sea Bolwd Crew House--never let South Africans start a grill! Next to Princess Marianna's house with the gift of Chinese Medicine. Oh yes, I did get a meal with Tara and Lou, my favorite Jersey folks...We ate lasanga and I supervised while the men tried to set up the new flat screen TV during a football game! Halfway back to Tybee I had a glass of wine with the Bretons and their neighbors...and a final stop on Tybee to visit one of the Becker boys and the ex again!

OK then it is New Year's Eve. Stop by Diego's to try to get some of this hangi. I believe it is a Kiwi thing where they roast a whole pig in the ground...30 more minutes and then we'll dig it up...oh well. My mission is to park the car for the rest of the year! So we cab it to Il Pasticco and dance in the New Year, 007 that is! One last stop at Venus di Milo before I put on my PJs and sleep well!

Good Morning New Year!!! This is the second year I have celebrated a fresh beginning with a plunge into the Atlantic Ocean! In black leather no less!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!!
