In Praise of Unfinished Business
This past Mercury Retrograde really threw me. I hadn’t even noticed that it was going to go Retrograde in my 6th house of Work/Health, which is probably why I was surprised I was sick and overworked for pretty much all of it! Ironically I only started feeling back to my normal energy level last Wednesday [...]
Summer Hats!
Summer has finally come and with it, blazing heat and sun! Hailing from the moss-covered town of Portland, Oregon I realize the need for shielding my too-fair skin from scorching with too much sunlight. So I’ve brought out the sewing machine, put it back to use, and have been on a hat making binge! So [...]
Happy Friday With Rue Magazine!
I usually try and enjoy every day as if it were Friday but after the past couple of intense weeks we’ve had, I’d just like to say “Happy Friday!” to everyone! I think I’m still mentally caught several weeks back, and yet April will be here by next Friday. Yes, that’s right, April is just [...]

It’s not too soon to start your seedlings indoors in anticipation of [...]

As They Say in The Big Lebowski
“Sometimes you eat the bear. . .

Vintage Fashion!
I heart this “Action Slipover” from the September 1969 issue of Workbasket! Doesn’t it just make you feel “ready to go”? Like you’re starting out the week with purpose and drive! I especially love the light sky blue with white piping. Piping, it turns out, is something I love in clothing! If you’re inspired to [...]
