"Too young to be a hippie, but raised in the heart of the hippie era."

I have a desire to do some sewing applique on a sleeveless jean dress that I was going to bring to the thrift store. Nothing wrong with the dress at all, I just never wear it. What if I appliques a retro hippie flower and stem going up the side and embellish in some way with a couple of those doilies I have. Or maybe not the doilies. They really don't give the hippy vibe. I asked GPT Chat to show me some ideas and I love the results!

Happy Birthday America!

Wow—250 years of being Americans. As we celebrate this milestone, one can only hope that today’s national tensions will come and go, just as many others have throughout our nation's history. Through challenges, disagreements, and change, the United States has endured, evolved, and moved forward. May we continue to do the same for generations to come.

The Ultimate Baby

She is the last of six grandchildren and she is such a sweetlums. I just love her cuddles and taking her serious face into the widest smile I've ever seen on a baby. Sweet Aly!

Deep Dive

As I plan for retirement, I dream of having a little cash flow for all the things I want to do during retirement. This Pinterest/Amazon affliate work looks so intriguing becaause all of it is so natural for me. I mean designing pins in Pinterest in Canva and posting and tagging. Fun! I'm hearing that you no longer need to have a website to direct your lookers back to. I need to continue my deep dive and research this more. I also should turn off my auto pay on Hostinger. It's been fun learning and building a blog, but I have all I can do to keep up this blog!
