I posted this on Sunday, but I just found out Semagic got a wild hair and posted it back a day. So I don't think this made it into anyone's friends page ( Read more... )

I don't usually do year-end posts. To be honest, it's mostly because I can't remember everything I've done. And that's because I've been getting lazier and lazier about even mentioning what I've been working on, much less actually dress diary-ing them ( Read more... )

1. Chilliest weather of the winter so far! Predictably, DFW airport (the official recording station for the area) was the "warm" spot at 25 degrees. 20 miles from me, north of Fort Worth, it was 14 degrees ( Read more... )

1.  Cold front! The day started at 63 or something silly like that, but by noon the wind had changed and the temperature fell slowly but steadily.  It's so much more festive when the weather is chilly ( Read more... )
