I love Tote Bags. There, I said it. Back in high school, I was the only student carrying a tote bag.

Fruitless Apple-Shaped
Been thinking about exercise, my body and the progress the past ten years. I realized I’d been trying to lose my stomach the entire time. It was after my transplant that I gained weight, especially around my waist. The waistline has stayed pretty much steady the past 10 years, no matter how much I exercised,…… Continue reading Fruitless Apple-Shaped

Creating
Been busy lately, using my creative side. I’ve been wanting to put some color in the dining area and was looking at chair covers, table cloths and the sort. Discovered table linens are quite expensive. There were some articles I’d read in various magazines about creating your own household linens, arts, furniture, and started thinking.…… Continue reading Creating

Hello 2016, Goodbye 2015
Before we say great big hello to 2016, we must bid goodbye to 2015. 2015 was a pretty good year here at chez ONeil.

I updated the cover on the cookbook I published the year…… Continue reading Hello 2016, Goodbye 2015
