For weeks, I have been thinking about the transition from winter to spring. The birds have been chattering and singing up a storm in the backyard, and the sun is shining.

I'll keep you posted on the progression of this capelet. I have some ideas that I'm excited about implementing...</div>

Hello, dear hearts...<br />
<br />
Ron and I completed our year-long class in metalsmithing. Phew-wee! We learned so much. I now have all the tools and knowledge necessary to pursue my silversmithing desires. Ron is already a master at this skill. I believe it's because he is an experienced woodworker. The two skills are similar in many ways. On the other hand, I am slower and more cautious, adapting to hot metal. It's so very different from fiber arts, which I still dearly love.<br />
<br />
I made this belt buckle for my beloved brother. It was one of the last projects assigned in our class. We had the freedom of design, but there were certain techniques that had to be included. Stone setting was not one of the techniques listed for this particular assignment (we covered that earlier in the class), but I talked our instructor, Denny, into allowing a stone for my design. He saw the sketch of this buckle and agreed that it was important to the design.<br />
<br />
I wanted to share these pics showing the progression of this particular piece. It was quite challenging and very rewarding. There is a lot of silver in this piece, and let me tell you, there were a few frustrations when I was soldering. It was a true learning experience. The buckle will soon be shipped out to its namesake, my brother, as a gift.<br />
<br />
So, that's it for now. Just wanted to show you what I've been up to. I'd love to hear about what you've been up to!<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by. I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!<br />
<br />
Thank you for being you.<br />
<br />
Much love...xo<br />

<br />
Hello, dear hearts!<br />
<br />
Oh my, it's been awhile, hasn't it? I hope you are well and happy.<br />
<br />
I have read over and over that blogging is dead, thanks to Twitter and Instagram and all the other quicky social media sites. I'm as guilty as the next guy in this respect. It's so easy to tweet or post a quick update. Blogging takes more effort and time and thought...My little blog may seem to be on its last gasp, but I'm here today to bring it back to life!<br />
<br />
So many months have passed, and life is happening all around us. I wouldn't know where to begin if I were to write all the news in my life. Besides, I don't think you want to know <i>everything. *</i>wink*<br />
<br />
From a creative viewpoint, I can give you an update on what I've been up to and why I haven't posted many new Fringe pieces. I took time off from knitting, crocheting, and fiber arts to pursue a new skill. Ron and I have been taking silversmith classes for the past year (since April 2015). It's been challenging, a bit nerve-wracking (for me, not Ron), wonderful, exciting (I'm working with torches!), and it's driving me slightly crazy because I have so many ideas and silversmithing is a slower and different process.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I still love knitting and crocheting and all things related to Fringe. I have so many delicious yarns and bits of yesteryear to incorporate into new pieces...Le sigh! Today, I began listing new pieces<span style="color: #666666;"> <b><a href="https://www.fringe.etsy.com/">in the shop</a></b></span>, starting with<span style="background-color: #444444;"><b><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/289655281/antler-necklace-no-6-crocheted-necklace?ref=shop_home_listings">Antler Necklace No. 6</a></span>, </span></b></span>in honor of spring.<br />
<br />
So, I'm on this new journey of discovering metal and stone, a whole new world of designs swirling around in my brain, and my beloved Ron to share ideas with. At the same time, my first true love, Fringe, is shaking out her mane and languorously stretching her muscles, beckoning me. What does it mean? I guess it means I will be very busy (ha!) and happy (definitely). I cannot wait for what lies ahead and to share it with you.<br />
<br />
If you're still checking in here and interested in what I'm doing, thank you. <br />
<br />
Thank you for being you.<br />
<br />
Much love,<br />
Dennice<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A romantic husband purchased this cowl last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He wrote me a lovely little note.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His thirteenth anniversary is coming up,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he wanted a traditional gift for his beloved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lace is the traditional gift for the thirteenth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He chose this lace pattern cowl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stories like this are what make my work so very rewarding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tied a special piece of white vintage lace onto this cowl before sending it off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a little extra bit of romance for his wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One can never have too much romance,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't you agree?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I know of one woman in Canada who will feel very loved </div>

I have been busy creating new <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fringe?ref=hdr_shop_menu">Fringe</a></b> designs and trying to stay cool in this miserable SoCal heatwave we're having. Not much luck with the staying cool part as we don't have air conditioning but lots of luck with my designs! I will be listing new pieces in the shop as soon as possible, I even have a new line of necklaces, which I am calling "neckdresses". My <b><a href="http://brockstreetsf.com/">brilliant brother</a></b> came up with that term because they remind him of headdresses. It's perfect. He's such a super talented smarty! </div>

Hello, hello, dear hearts! Thank you so much for returning for Week 4 of my picks for TCM's <b><a href="http://summer.tcm.com/">Summer Under the Stars Month</a></b>. I cannot believe August is coming to an end already! This last post will have nine days of film picks to close out the month. I was not exactly the model of discipline for a couple of the days this time around. Nobody's perfect, right? *wink*<br />
<br />
Here are my picks for August 23 - 31<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SATURDAY, AUGUST 23 | ERNEST BORGNINE</b><br />
<br />
5pm PST - MARTY (1955)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU4eTjd4HiXSBEkJD_dtkquhyphenhyphenGpQ-gxPc2cXeTBJpHfpewL4g-oCYOowRNBQJ7Ng7v89MtbzPXxCrouveJfLwcWfVEdDe478TfY6Cry0NC-IOMzRrNJ0XlvjR4ONImONEtUSi6K_zc5_Z3/s1600/SUTS22B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU4eTjd4HiXSBEkJD_dtkquhyphenhyphenGpQ-gxPc2cXeTBJpHfpewL4g-oCYOowRNBQJ7Ng7v89MtbzPXxCrouveJfLwcWfVEdDe478TfY6Cry0NC-IOMzRrNJ0XlvjR4ONImONEtUSi6K_zc5_Z3/s1600/SUTS22B.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I think one of the reasons I love this film so much is because we get to see Borgnine in a different role. Not the bad guy, not a jerk, like he plays in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY and BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (both excellent films, by the way). He's just a guy, living his life. The interaction between Marty and his mother is probably one of my favorite aspects of this film. Borgnine won a well-deserved Oscar for this role. Director Mann does a brilliant job and was rewarded with an Oscar as well. <br />
<br />

<b>SUNDAY, AUGUST 24 | GLADYS GEORGE</b><br />

5pm PST - THE MALTESE FALCON (1944)<br />

This is not Gladys George's biggest part in a film, but boy oh boy does she pack a punch. She's mysterious. She leaves you wondering just what she's guilty of, if anything. She's perfect and intriguing. It can't be easy as an actor to take a small role and add so many layers to it, but Gladys does just that in this film. Is there anybody out there who hasn't seen THE MALTESE FALCON? If so, please be sure to watch it. I've seen it too many times to count. Stellar all the way around.</div>

Ok. I <i>may</i> have a bit of a crush on Dick Powell. Noir Dick Powell, that is, and Dramatic Dick Powell. So you see, I could not contain myself to add a teensy bit more than one film for this day. If you only watch one, make it MURDER, MY SWEET. It was Powell's break-out film, away from his musical, light-hearted roles. He's sublime as <b><a href="http://dennicemankarious.blogspot.com/2012/07/names-marlowe-philip-marlowe.html">Philip Marlowe</a></b>. Sublime, I say! Adapted from <b><a href="http://dennicemankarious.blogspot.com/2012/07/names-marlowe-philip-marlowe.html">Raymond Chandler</a></b>'s (one of my favorite authors!) book FAREWELL MY LOVELY and gorgeously directed by Edward Dmytryk. This film is jam-packed with fantastic actors, including sizzling Claire Trevor and sexy, sweet Anne Shirley (once married to <b><a href="http://dennicemankarious.blogspot.com/search?q=john+payne">John Payne who I always felt would have made an exceptional Philip Marlowe</a></b>).</div>

I've only seen this film once, and it was years ago. I recall that I truly enjoyed it, but to be honest, I don't remember much about it other than Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni were absolutely superb. This film is three different stories with Sophia and Marcello as the main characters in each of the tales. I hope you will watch this one! I'm looking forward to becoming reacquainted with this one.</div>

I love Ida Lupino. Love! So this film is a double delight because not only is Ida starring in it, she is also the director. What a woman! Le sigh. The acting is remarkable. Edmund O'Brien manages to make us feel sympathy and compassion for his character, a bigamist. Now that's saying something! Joan Fontaine has a smaller role, but she is true to form, delivering an exquisite performance as well. This is the only film in which Ida directed herself although she did direct many films as well as TV shows.</div>

Here's a film that I've not seen so I just don't have an opinion about it. It's a crime drama about a lawyer who makes some bad choices (gasp!). Also starring Barry Sullivan and George Murphy. Directed by Harold F. Kress who won an Academy Award for editing for HOW THE WEST WAS WON (1962) and THE TOWERING INFERNO (1974).</div>

Oh, this film...it's on my Top Five Favorite Films List. If you've not seen it, please do watch it. It's just such a gem. I could go on and on, but I won't. Joseph Cotten plays such an endearing character. I have a soft spot for him as Holly, the lovesick, self-depreciating, compassionate pulp writer. The scenes he shares with beautiful Alida Valli are positively vibrating with his feelings for her. Written by another of my personal favorites, Graham Greene and directed by <i>yet another</i> personal favorite, Carol Reed. A must-see if ever there was one! And don't get me started on the music...or the dutch angles...</div>

This is another new-to-me film. I chose it for a couple of reasons besides the fact that I've never seen it: I love classic crime drama films and Victor Mature is part of the cast. This is a remake of VICKI which I have seen and enjoyed. I'm looking forward to comparing the two films. Directed by Bruce Humberstone who also directed SUN VALLEY SERENADE and several of the CHARLIE CHAN movies.</div>

This film is a must-see, dear hearts! Adapted from the novel by Dashiell Hammett (said to be Hammett's favorite of all his work) and the inspiration for Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO (another must-see!). The chemistry between Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake is the stuff of legends in this, their second film together. Also starring the underrated (in my opinion) Brian Donlevy and directed by Stuart Heisler. Super snappy dialogue and fast-paced, I hope you enjoy it as much as I will.<br />

Hello, dear hearts!<br />
<br />
I'm so happy you've come back for Week 3 of my picks for <b><a href="http://summer.tcm.com/">TCM's Summer Under the Stars</a></b>! This week is an unusual mix because three of the films I chose are films I've never seen. I love when I find films on TCM that are new to me! I really did stick to my one film a day plan (unlike last week) this time. It was tough, I tell ya!<br />
<span style="color: white;">.</span><br />
Here are my picks for the week of August 16 - 22:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SATURDAY, AUGUST 16 | HERBERT FALCON MARSHALL</b><br />

<br />
<br />
I had a difficult time choosing between MURDER! and THE LETTER for today's pick. I chose MURDER! because it's a very early Hitchcock film, and I've never seen it. I want to see Herbert Falcon Marshall in this role. In truth, I prefer him in his earlier films. I can't wait to see Falcon directed by Alfie!<br />

John Hodiak is an actor that I'm not very familiar with. I've seen LIFEBOAT, which he was very good in and a few others. I've not seen A BELL FOR ADANO, and I chose this as my pick for that reason. It's a WW1 film centered on a small Italian village. Directed by Henry King and also starring the mesmerizing Gene Tierney and underrated (imo) William Bendix. I am so looking forward to this one.<br />

This is the third day of my picks this week and the third new-to-me film. I'm so excited to see this one too! The only down side to choosing new-to-me films is I don't have much to offer as far as an opinion. SKYLARK is described as a sophisticated romance. How can it lose with Claudette Colbert in the line-up? She is impeccable. The leading men are Ray Milland and Brian Aherne. And the incomparable Edith Head in charge of costume design. Heaven!<br />

<br />
There are many things I love about this film. The direction by George Roy Hill is fantastic, unique and beautiful. I get giddy when I see his use of sepia tones. Of course, it doesn't hurt that we are gazing at Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Katherine Ross for 110 minutes. AND it's a western, which I have a definite soft spot for. Good westerns, especially those that add a modern touch, are my favorite type. This is an excellent example. I believe that most of us know the fate of Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid which is why I think the ending was done masterfully.<br />

Oh Thelma! How I adore you. I sort of wish Thelma Ritter could have been in every movie. She brings me such joy. This film, THE MATING SEASON, is a true gem that does not get enough praise. It's a complete delight to watch. Please don't miss this romantic comedy. The cast is very impressive with Gene Tierney, John Lund and Miriam Hopkins, and the director, Mitchell Liesen (whose has directed many special films such as REMEMBER THE NIGHT and HOLD BACK THE DAWN), gives us a gift with this film.<br />

This film...love love love. Jean Harlow at her best. I dare you to take your eyes off her for one second. She will hypnotize you. Lee Tracy is very sexy, snappy and just plain wonderful. The chemistry is definitely evident between Harlow and Tracy. A gorgeous film, photographed by Harold Rosson with stellar writing by Norman Krasna (who also wrote BACHELOR MOTHER and MR. & MRS. SMITH, to name just two). Directed by manly Victor Fleming. Jean's delicious gowns by Adrian. This is another must-see!<br />

This tender film is Hepburn's first starring role. I can hardly express how much I love her performance. She is so sincere, it will maybe break your heart just a wee bit. It did mine. Gregory Peck is so handsome and really, sublime. As if that's not enough, this film is set in Rome. There is so much to look at between the actors and the setting. I feel this is a very special film for many reasons. Written by blacklisted Dalton Trumbo who did not get credit for nearly 40 years. I urge you, dear friends, to read more about Dalton Trumbo <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_Trumbo"><b>here</b></a></span>. Directed by William Wyler.<br />

Hello, dear hearts.<br />
<br />
Welcome back! I have for you my picks for week 2 of <b><a href="http://summer.tcm.com/">TCM's Summer Under the Stars</a></b>. Again, it was painful to choose just one film per day, but I managed to do just that (with just one teensy weensy slip-up). And what a week of films!<br />
<br />
Here are my picks for August 9 – 15: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SATURDAY, AUGUST 9 | WILLIAM POWELL</b><br />

<br />
This film is in my Top Five Favorite Films List. It's a must-see. Sophisticated wit, snappy dialogue, oh, and a murder mystery! So many excellent characters flit across the screen and Loy and Powell are sublime.<br />
<br />
"I don't like crooks. And if I did like 'em, I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons. And if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you!"<br />
<br />
Psst. I realize I'm breaking my own One Film A Day Rule, but these are wonderful films on the schedule today:<br />
<br />
7am PST - DOUBLE HARNESS (1933)<br />
1:30pm PST - I LOVE YOU AGAIN (1940)<br />

<br />
This sexy comedy is directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I believe it's not a film that is well-known. I adore this one! Gorgeous to look at and (of course) beautifully directed. Fun from start to finish. Lombard and Montgomery were made for each other. I wish they would have done more films together. And by the way, Gene Raymond is nothing to sneeze at either (You'll get the reference once you watch the film. I hope.*wink*).<br />

<br />
Where do I begin? The acting (by every actor in this film) is absolutely impeccable. What was Kazan's secret? He could bring out the gritty, intense, grindingly realistic performances in his actors like no other. Keep an eye out for the heart-wrenching scene between Steiger and Brando in the back of the taxi. And the steamy, passionate apartment scene between Eva Marie Saint and Brando.<span style="color: white;">,</span><br />

I've only seen this film once before. That was quite some time ago so I don't feel I can give you much insight. I definitely want to watch it again. What I remember most about this film was Alexis Smith's heartfelt role as a frustrated wife.<br />

Good grief. Too much to write about! Watch this film again and again. You'll catch something new every time. It's sparkling and brilliant. And remember these sage (but true) words from a drunken Macaulay Connor:<br />

<br />
I have a confession to make. I've never watched this film (runs and hides). I haven't seen it, but I have it on good authority that it's a masterpiece. I've avoided it because I've heard it's a tearjerker and let's face it, I'm a wimp. I am going to square my shoulders and watch it this time around. Who's with me?<br />

<br />
I love love (yes, I double love it) this film! A film noir in color. A modern film (neo-noir) set in the early 1900's Los Angeles. Directed by Roman Polanski, written by Robert Towne. It's a mesmerizing film. The acting is immaculate. Dunaway is a master. The costumes are heavenly. If you're as big a fan of noir as I am, I believe you will fall head over heels in love with this one.<br />

Ever since I tasted my first Aperol Spritz, sitting at an outdoor cafe on the banks of the Tiber (our trip to Rome, summer of 2012), it has been my favorite summer cocktail. So light and refreshing, festive and pretty.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share the recipe I use when making them here at home. Give it a try and discover the taste of summer, dear hearts. <br />

Hello, dear hearts!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you happen to be a <b><a href="http://www.tcm.com/">TCM</a></b> (Turner Classic Movies) fan, then
I probably don’t have to tell you that it’s that time of year again. My
favorite month on TCM is August, <b><a href="http://summer.tcm.com/">Summer Under the Stars Month</a></b>. Each day they
feature one actor’s work. This year they have a great line-up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought I would offer my picks to you, one film each day
to watch or record for later. It was extremely difficult at times to choose
just one film a day, but I stiffened my backbone! I won’t always pick the best
film, but I am choosing the film that I would watch if I could only watch one
per day. For each film I choose, I’ll write a little snippet about it. I
thought the best way to tackle this ambitious project was to break it down into
one week increments. So, without further adieu…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Here are my picks for August 1 – 8:</div>

Once again, I was torn when choosing just one film to recommend. Finally, I decided to go with the one I watch over and over. This is a personal favorite of mine. It's a delight to watch this film.

The entire film is gorgeous.</div>

I hope you'll let me know if you watch it and what you thought of it. Jeanne is in the top few of my favorite french actors. The camera loves her.</div>

I've been very busy lately (and so have my little hands). My incredibly talented brother, Levi, over at <b><a href="http://brockstreetsf.com/">Brock Street SF</a></b> suggested a collaboration between the two of us. Of course, I was thrilled and jumped at the opportunity! I put together quite a bundle of handmade pieces and shipped them to him on Tuesday. He should receive them today. So excited!<br />
<br />
I will share more with you as soon as I'm allowed to...*wink*<br />
<br />
Thank you for being you.<br />
Much love...xo<br />

Four new pieces in <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fringe?ref=si_shop">the shop</a></b> this week. I really do love every one of them. I can't help it. I do admit that I've had sweethearts and valentines and love on my mind. These thoughts are definitely influencing my creativity...Love is in the air!<br />
<br />
And Phew! What a week. So so busy. I'm plum tuckered out.<br />
<br />
I will write more soon. As soon as I get a spare moment. It seems that every minute of this weekend is filled with commitments. I prefer slower moving weekends, and this weekend will be anything but slow moving. Wish me luck, dear hearts. I have a feeling I'll blink my eyes, and it will be Monday.<br />
<br />
I hope you have a beautiful weekend. A weekend that is filled with just what you want it to be.<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by.<br />
Thank you for being you.<br />
Much love...xoxo<br />

Hello, dear hearts. I hope your week is off to a wonderful
start! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'll start off with the latest <span style="color: #444444;"><b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fringe?ref=si_shop">Fringe shop</a></b></span> news...I meant to post a Fringe Friday shop update, but three of
the four new items I listed sold quite quickly. Thank you to the three lovely
ladies who purchased the new Snow Bunny Loop Scarves! It means so very much to
me knowing my work is appreciated. What a super fantastic way to get back in
the swing of things!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Sidecar Collar is still available. It’s a one of kind
piece. I adore it. The color is divine. My inspiration for this piece came by way of the
Roaring 20s. The yarn is gorgeous and fun, luxury yarn from England.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will restock the Snow Bunny Scarf in winter white, smoky
grey and dark chocolate in my shop this week, in case you are interested in
them. I’m so happy they are getting such an enthusiastic response!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I plan to have another shop update this Friday. I will post
the new items here on Friday in case you wish to see what’s new. As I mentioned
in my previous post, I’m a bit out of practice with my shop. My hope is to make
Fringe Friday a regular routine for posting new items. There are so many new
designs waiting to be photographed. They may need a little bit of attention
with detailed finishing first, and I refuse to rush on that. I take pride in my
work and will make certain to get each piece finished to the degree of quality
that I feel is as close to perfect as I can make it. So I’ll do my best to
bring them to you as soon as I can. </div>

We had a lovely weekend here. I
hope you did too. I managed to get a lot done without feeling like it was
hectic. Took a walk under blue skies every day. We went out to eat at one of
our favorite little family-run restaurants on Friday night. I ordered the same
thing I always order there: chicken curry udon soup. It’s positively
scrumptious! Especially on a nippy night like we had on Friday.</div>

with my <span style="color: #444444;"><b><a href="http://www.brockstreet.blogspot.com/">beloved brother</a></b></span> on Saturday. Talking to him is always good for my soul.
We laughed a lot. He’s a very creative and talented man. Very very! So he told
me some of the projects he’s been working on at his cabin. Also, we are
planning/working on an exciting collaboration. It’s double secret at the
moment, but I will tell you more about it soon. I promise!</div>

May your year be filled with laughter, love, good health, and prosperity. I
have so many thoughts and ideas and hopes and dreams for the coming year. I am
a true believer in looking forward. However, before looking forward, I want to
share a little about the last year.<br />
<br />
2013 hit my little family like a bullet in the back. It knocked us
flat in May, but not permanently. We made it through, but not unscathed. When your life
gets turned upside down, you find out what’s really important. I know I’ve
discussed what I feel is most important before on this blog, see <a href="http://dennicemankarious.blogspot.com/2010/05/rose-my-tribute-to-may-flowers.html">this post</a>. Also, <a href="http://dennicemankarious.blogspot.com/2010/06/pin-it-forward-what-home-means-to-me.html">this post</a>.<br />
<br />
The thing is, I only recently reclaimed my desire to create. It was as if
that part of me shut down. I went into survival mode, focusing solely on
taking care of my family. I’ve felt like only half of myself all these months,
but it’s all slowly coming back now. And it feels so wonderful, so sweet and strangely,
it feels a little scary. I know time will take care of the scary part. It’s a
matter of fully getting back into my creative self. Each new piece I make now
feels like a gift I’m giving myself.<br />
<br />
Neil Gaiman wrote a lovely blog post this week that hit home with me in many basic ways. Here's an excerpt that goes a long way for me:<br />
<br />
"And then it seemed so many things happened, and I had not written about any of them, and catching up seemed less and less possible."<br />
<br />
That. That is what happened to me this year. It's why my blog has had crickets chirping for months. Actually, I hope you will read the rest of Neil Gaiman's post <a href="http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2013/12/where-did-i-go-out-what-did-i-do.html">here</a>. Truly, just start reading his blog. You'll be so glad you did.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
You may have noticed my shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fringe?ref=si_shop">Fringe</a>, was closed for some time last year. More than six months. We were busy dodging that aforementioned bullet in the back. I'm so happy that Fringe is now reopened. New things coming up next week, beginning with this little velvety soft number.</div>

Thoughts for the new year. Personally, I don't make resolutions. However, I do like to try and make improvements where they are needed. Things that will improve our quality of life. I found a beautiful post this week about just that.</div>

Okay, darling dears, I think I'll sign off. I went from a deserted blog to a very long post. I hope you aren't shell-shocked. *wink*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll leave you with this, just for the fun of it. Because I do love films. Especially the classics, as you well know...I hope you are able to curl up on a cozy couch or chair with proper snacks and catch one or more of these truly special films. </div>

<u>Weekend Stay-at-Home Movie Night recommendations</u>:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>On TCM (Turner Class Movies)</u>: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For Saturday: THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (1952) at 5PM PST. Dick Powell and Gloria Grahame make this a must-see, in my opinion. Of course, Lana Turner is easy on the eyes. The acting, directing and the screenplay are topnotch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For Sunday: HOW TO MARRY A MILLIIONAIRE (1953) at 5PM PST. Lauren Becall, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and William Powell too! This is fun film and the fashion is pure joy to behold.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Netflix</u>:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
THE APARTMENT (1960). Starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacClaine. Directed by Billy Wilder.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
CINEMA PARADISO (1988). This Oscar-winning film is set in Italy. It has, in my opinion, one of the best endings ever filmed.</div>

I hope you're having a beautiful Thursday, dear hearts. My days seem to fly by. Trying to slow things down is like trying to hold a tiger by his tail...<br />
<br />
The boy started his junior year of high school yesterday. Junior. I cannot believe it.<br />
<br />
I have been very busy with a new project that I'm so excited about it. Before I tell you about it, I want to make sure it truly happens. Don't want to jinx things, right? *wink*<br />
<br />
I spent last weekend rearranging all the furniture downstairs. I love doing that. I haven't for a while so it was especially fun for me. I even painted some walls to freshen things up a bit more. It feels like a new house now. Moving things around costs nothing, but gives me so much pleasure. The boys like it too. We are all marveling at how different everything looks. Now I'm plotting the same thing for the upstairs area...I highly recommend moving your furniture and wall art and everything else around if you feel like your space is getting a little stale. It makes a world of difference. I usually take a couple days to do it...I move some things, then think about their new location, then move some more...it takes time. Cleaning and organizing as I go adds even more time, but it's all well worth it. I always get the cleaning and organizing bug in the fall. How about you?<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for being you!<br />
Much love...xo<br />
<br />

Hello, dear hearts. I've been busy. You know how much nature inspires my work. I have been working on several designs, inspired by the beauty of nature, for the past few months. Along these lines, I may have news for you soon as well. If all goes according to plan...</div>

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend. Try to spend a bit of time doing something just for yourself. A walk, a book, a project, a letter, a sketch, an old classic movie, a new recipe, a long soak in the tub, whatever it is you love to do. You're worth it!</div>

Happy Wednesday, dear hearts. I hope your week is wonderful thus far and will continue to be so. This summer is winding down. How is that possible? Our summer was different this year. It feels to me like The Summer That Never Was. Do I feel that way every year around this time? Maybe to some degree...I don't know. Today, the sun is out, there is a mild breeze, the birds are singing, no one in the neighborhood is running their leaf blower or weed wacker, and I have a bored teenager on my hands. I guess if that doesn't define a good summer day, nothing does.<br />
<br />
So here's to making the last weeks of summer count. Every single day. My unsolicited advice? Wake up with a smile, even if you have to force it. I read that if you are feeling stressed, force yourself to smile for a few moments. The real deal smile that crinkles your eyes. The study showed that you will actually lower your heart rate and have a more positive outlook. It works for me! So give it a try...<br />
<br />
Much love...xo<br />
<br />

Happy Thursday, dear hearts!</div>
<br />
I've been thinking a lot about our last visit to Mammoth. If you follow this blog, you probably know how much I love that mountain town and all the surrounding area. Even the drive from here to there is close to my heart - my favorite road is Route 395. This is the second summer we have not been able to make it there, and I feel a bit forlorn because I miss that part of the world terribly.<br />
<br />
Today I'm thinking of the Road Less Traveled. I think it's so important to take the road less traveled in the journey of life. It is certainly not the easiest route, sometimes it's extremely difficult. The thing is, I never want to feel like the road most traveled is the most appealing way to go. If you take the bumpy, rocky, dusty, challenging road you will become closer to your true self. You will learn so much more and appreciate the little things, get a new perspective on what is truly important. It may be slow going, but that can be a very good thing. You may meet the most wonderful people along the way. You will be inspired and touched and changed forever, even if in a small way. You may come to realize your true meaning in life, become motivated, choose new goals. You may find the love of your life or rediscover your true love who has been right beside you for a long time. <br />
<br />
When confronted with that fork in the road please consider both, and if you choose the road less traveled there's a very strong possibility that you will bump into me...<br />

This recipe is as easy as it gets, and the results are delicious. These little cookies are a real crowd pleaser. I've been making them all summer and the boys love them.<br />
<br />
I found the original recipe at allrecipes.com but I made a little alteration to the recipe. You can check out the original <b><a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Lemon-Cookies/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=easy%20lemon%20cookies&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page">here</a></b>.<br />

<b>Easy Lemon Cookies </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix<br />
2 eggs<br />
1/3 cup canola oil<br />
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice<br />
1/3 cup powdered sugar<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.<br />
<br />
2. Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil and lemon juice until well blended (I blend the batter by hand instead of bothering with the electric mixer). Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into a bowl or onto a small plate of confectioners' sugar. Roll them around until they're lightly covered. I drop 6 - 8 spoonfuls at a time to make things move along quicker. Once sugared, put them on an ungreased cookie sheet. I flatten them just a tad with a fork before putting them in the oven.<br />
<br />
3.Bake for 6 - 9 minutes in preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy. I get 3 - 4 dozens cookies, depending on how big my teaspoonful scoops are.<br />

I hope you'll give this one a try, dear hearts. They're so quick and easy. A great go-to when the kids have friends stopping by or you need a quick little dessert to whip up. Super easy! I especially love them with freshly made iced tea in the summer months. I always make sure I have a box of lemon cake mix on hand just in case.<br />
<br />
Much love...xo<br />
