Best idea this month

I was just thinking the other day how nice it would be to get a living Christmas tree this year, but I don't have a way to get it home or in the house. And heard a radio ad for 'rentxmastree.com'. Brilliant! I ordered the type and size of tree I wanted from their site, it was delivered on Dec 2nd. I slid it into the house - it's in a big pot with a saucer underneath. They will come and pick it up after January 1.

They're in the Santa Cruz mountains and deliver quite a way up and down the peninsula.

I am so happy that this popped into my life just as I realized I wanted it. I'm having lots of "flow" moments like that these days, and appreciating every one of them.

Tie Dye!

Lovely hot day yesterday, tie-dying at Carols. Pics too big to mail, so here they are.



Courtney tending her 'vat dye' - beautiful colors, hope she takes pics


Ya really want to wear gloves


Our hostess and son, going for a snack


Sara preparing to paint a tie


Karen's skirt - great sage and avocado green (the colors don't look as nice in the pic as they did live)




So many colors! It was a wealth of choices


The halter top that I did - the 'crunch' method


Spiral dress - the back
