A while back I had the privilege to attend an event in the U.S. Capitol building that was held in the Rotunda area underneath and inside the world-famous dome that sits atop the U.S. Congress. Looking up, I snapped this marvelous view and just had to include it here. It has only been recently that I learned the history of the slaves who helped construct this. They did a fantastic job, didn't they?
Descriptions of collectibles and other items sold on Ebay, as well as about craft projects based on recycling and re-use of materials.
Welcome to my blog!
I used to blog here mostly using local photos about my neighborhood or Washington DC or other places I visited. But over time I found myself blogging about crafts or sewing projects or my activities as a seller of collectibles on Ebay (look my stuff up under Mugsim7) or other topics, such as selling my beautiful old Victorian townhouse. Occasionally, I take a break from blogging so you won't see anything regularly. But I'm still have fun writing it. May your days be blessed with miracles, and creativity too!
