London Trip Part II - Toy Soldier Cuddler - Pumpkin Pie Earrings
Day 2 of our London adventure included a tour of Westminster Abbey, The Royal Mews (stables), and the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. I have always loved poetry, so visiting Westminster Abbey has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior is the first thing you see when stepping inside, and it is truly a magnificent site. (Unfortunately, no photos are allowed inside.) During World War I, an army chaplain saw a grave marked by a wooden cross, and he wanted to do something to honor this soldier and the...
London - Phone Booth Scarf Pattern
London the second time around was so much better. Last August, we winged it. This year we went on as a group for the Houston Texans game and signed up for all the tours available.

That afternoon was a tour of the city on a double-decker bus, culminating in a ride on...
Black Cat Door Hanger - Fox Christmas Ornament

It's quick and easy to make and looks so cute hanging on the front door.

Las Vegas - Smokey Robinson - Slot Machine Pillow Pattern
Ordinarily I like to travel to a new city, see new sites. Las Vegas (in my opinion) is the exception to that rule. There's always something new to see. This time we went to see Smokey Robinson in concert. As much as I enjoy live music, I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed a concert more than this one. On the way out, I heard a man telling his wife, "Now let's go make a baby." The show was that sexy! https://youtu.be/cxkonQWer6I This time we stayed at the Luxor Hotel and had dinner at Diabla's Cantina. Since I...
