ICE-Atlanta link

Thanks for all the celebration and encouragement for my plans with the Indie Craft Experience in Atlanta.  I’ve had some requests for the link, which I should have anticipated.  After all, this is a cool festival and you want to go, right?  Live music, fun setting in Centennial Olympic Park, relaxed browsing in booths that [...]

ICE ICE Baby!!!!

I just got notified that I have been selected to participate in the Indie Craft Experience (ICE) in Atlanta, May 30-31.  It’s a huge, modern craft fair with nothing that looks like your mama’s crafts.  When I applied, I was afraid my creations wouldn’t be hip enough.  I am soooooo excited! 

Peace.

Prednisone, Infections & the Organizing Elf

While I’m thinking about the symptoms related to my therapy, I have to mention the things that I look for after a big prednisone taper.  Every flare gets one, this time only to 25 mg, sometimes to as high as 60 mg, and the side effects are significant. 
If the taper works well it can be [...]

Weekend Ramblings

Yesterday I looked in the mirror and saw a pink person.  I had a gentle flush all over, like someone with mild sunburn.  My skin blanched, that is, when I pressed down with my fingertip, it would leave a light place, then I could see the pink colour coming back.  Today I wore a pink [...]
