My Week With Marilyn...

Guess what I saw yesterday...

Stylish Hoosiers on INsight...

YIKES! My hair on this episode is a FRIGHT!!! The day we taped was super rainy...'nuff said.

Is Everything Old New Again? I love the revival of old trends but not all of them of course. ICK - here's a pic of the Zubaz pants Charity mentions!

Stylish Hoosiers I'm sure I've missed some so if anyone knows of more stylish Indianans give me a HOLLA! Regardless, these 5 certainly represent Indiana well!

Thanks for watching --- especially since I look like Weird Al Yankovic!

handmade gifts & knitting on INsight...

Have you ever received a handmade/homemade (is there a diff?) gift that you absolutely HATE? I have a hard time hiding my true feelings...my face speaks for me unfortunately. I caution anyone when giving homemade gifts since the recipient will feel obligated to use or wear or keep the gift for years to come. Don't saddle your loved ones with items that are not appropriate for them or aren't their taste...

That being said, some of my favorite gifts received have been handmade. I know many talented people who create beautiful and thoughtful items that I treasure.  We talk about this very thing on INsight  as well as discuss knitting for beginners and for stress relief.
