Shelbee on the Rags: “Ratatouille” Rag Curtain
In my last raggery post, I shared my very first set of rag curtains which were the catalyst that launched Shelbee on the Rags into this passionate crusade of curtain creativity. My most recent raggery project was a custom order for a kitchen doorway. The specifics of the order I received were measurements of 24″ x 60″ assembled on a curtain rod (not a tree branch) and “in all the colors” like the “Bohemian Ragsody” curtain that adorns that fitting room doorway at Solitary Consignment. When I received the order, I had just finished cutting up 6 donated bags of unwanted clothing “in all the colors” so I was able…

TriciaMadeThis & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #688
This November will mark 8 years since I began my #SpreadTheKindness Movement. My earliest posts were all about plugging small businesses and celebrating the inspiring people I meet on my life journeys. I eventually merged these kindness posts with my weekly Link Up on the Edge and have since gotten away from regularly dedicating posts to people and businesses who deserve some public praise. Since I just had an amazing experience with some products from an Etsy seller, I wanted to share it with you all. Plus I think it’s kind of a fun story how I came upon TriciaMadeThis and quickly became a big fan. Since getting my “Saved…

Cats and Kimonos by Ulivary & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #687
This is my final kimono robe from Ulivary showcasing my apparent love of leopards. I am a cat lady as well as an obsessive wearer of long robe-like garments so show me a cat on a kimono and I’m sold. However, despite my love of big cats, small cats, spotted cats, striped cats, furry cats, bald cats, and cats of any other shape, size, color, or coat, I don’t always love to wear the cats and cat prints. In fact, my Black Leopard Kimono Robe inspired me to further investigate my feelings about feline fabrics. While I can sometimes be fickle when it comes to incorporating cats into my closet,…

10 on the 10th: January 2024-10 Things to Feed My Head
I am a day late but it did not make me a dollar short. This wicked wind storm that just blew over half of the nation took our power with it and we were without electricity or internet from Tuesday night through Wednesday evening. I had planned to write this post in the dark early morning hours of Wednesday, but alas, it was too dark without any power and I had no internet. So instead, I sat with my coffee in the delicate glow of candles and battery operated twinkle fairy lights, doing crossword puzzles by the glow of a headlamp. By the time power was restored on Wednesday evening,…
