4,000 pairs
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 10th 2012
In an unprecedented event, Mr. Lucky was off from work today, a random Tuesday, while I worked. This practically NEVER happens. I mean, seriously… maybe one other time that I can think of during our 17+ years of marriage. So last night, I was saying, “Oh good! You can move all that junk back into [...]
Seriously?
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Nov 16th 2011
I am a doodler from way back. If I have a pen in hand, I’m drawing with it. When I was a kid – and even later in college – all of my school notebooks had doodles in the margins. At staff meetings, I draw while the boss is talking. At church, I draw on [...]
Quick and easy
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Nov 6th 2011
I’ve been sewing quite a bit lately. Unfortunately, we keep our ironing board and iron upstairs in the master bedroom (because Mr. Lucky uses it DAILY) while my sewing machine is downstairs in the guest room. This means I am forever dragging the iron downstairs and laying a piece of cardboard with a folded sheet [...]
T-shirt project
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Oct 15th 2011
I found a tutorial via Pinterest on how to take a plain tshirt and turn it into a ruffled thing of beauty! I’ve been in such a slump lately that I figured a little hands-on project would do me some good, both emotionally and creatively. Now, I promise my instructions below will in NO WAY [...]
Owls
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Oct 2nd 2011
Have you noticed how owls are all the rage these days? I think they are super cute and have loved owls all my life. They do have a special place in my heart since I was a young girl because my mom had a painting of four owls that she said reminded her of me [...]
A little whimsy
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Sep 6th 2011
Remember last year when my sister Lena and my friend Shannon helped me paint my kitchen cabinets? Every since then, I’ve been thinking of making some little curtains to just add a pop of color to the windows. After spending an extra few days at home sick this week, I was able to get caught [...]
Bacon lovers of the world – Unite!!
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jul 4th 2011
I love bacon. I honestly don’t use it much anymore because …. well, let’s face it – it’s nothing but fat. But mercy, it’s some tasty fat!! 9 times out of 10, if a recipe calls for bacon, I use turkey bacon. (which is a sad substitute but I’m kind of used to it now!) [...]
Who stole the sun?
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Apr 26th 2011
We’ve had nothing but rain, rain, rain for days. My yard is squishy when you walk on it. I know my sweet friend Shannon is in hot and dry Texas, praying for rain….. and I’m praying she could have ours because I am SICK OF IT!!! As I was sitting on my front porch this [...]
I learned a lil ‘sumpin-sumpin’
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Apr 13th 2011
Last night was my first class about using Photoshop…. I have had Photoshop Elements for about 2 years on my laptop but I don’t use it very much. Mainly because I haven’t taken the time to actually learn how to use it. So I thought this would be a great way to learn! I’ve always [...]
Peekie-boo, here I am!
Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Apr 4th 2011
It would appear that I’ve been neglecting something, huh? Lots has happened around here. And yet, nothing has happened. Nothing blog-worthy, I mean. I’ve been on a roll with illnesses… starting with hurting my back and then some awful allergies, tummy issues, yada, yada, and when it lingered on and on, turns out I had [...]
