A Blogger Walks Into A Bar....

Or, what are you doing New Year’s Eve?












  1. what a nice story of how you met your friend because of blogging/sewing/acting/singing. I would feel so inadequate in that company. I can only carry tune if I have a large bucket to put it in. Much love to you and yours this season. Have a wonderful time doing everything you do.

    1. That bucket sentence has me rolling!!! And I would do my level best to make you feel nothing but welcome 😊. Love & good wishes to your world as well!

  2. Oona, of Oona,
    of kindred fuel,
    four growing collectively,
    whilst a stranger shoots pool.

    Soon you chirp,
    New Year's canary,
    On the cusp between,
    with time you parry.

    A smokey lounge,
    ensconced in hip,
    you burnish the space;
    let the pauses drip.

    Songs and places,
    both of old,
    life's leading edge,
    summons the bold.

    So know your way,
    put a hundred down,
    a message to listeners,
    from a self-made gown.

    You'll hijack their night,
    journey they must,
    never fall in love,
    the night ain't a bust.

    You'll leave them wanting,
    and wandering through,
    in their collective arms;
    a room loving you.

    So find your stance,
    as Ms. Warwick showed,
    sing from your reaches;
    footprints on this road.

    1. This is just. FABULOUS. I’m going to need to print your poems one day (spellcheck will be soundly thrashed).

  3. Oona, oh Oona (proofreading and spellcheck, not enough of one, way too much of the other)

  4. how I would love to be there, for your singing, your costumes and also because my husband is a big plus fan and still gives out about the concert he missed in Galway (Ireland where we live) years ago when they played here ...... if I was to go, I would wear my new embroidered skirt (which has still to be made). best of luck and best wishes for the holiday season

    1. I would have surely yelled over your embroidered skirt! Hopefully, there will be more...and who knows where we might jet to.....

  5. totally gonna pretend i'm at the gig, while staying home with baby, at the other part of the planet.. we've discovered the bad plus pretty much the same way, except the song was karma police.. pretty much all of my current music superheroes were discovered that way, we even have small (and also handmade) notebook next to our computer whose only purpose is to be filled with names of musicians or bands that made us pause what we're doing and listen.. would be totally awesome to be able to start bumping onto them in bars, but unfortunately it just isn't possible (and not only because we're living on wrong part of the planet for that to be possible, but also because i haven't set my foot in a bar in a very long time, as i'm being a full time milk factory, but i digress..).. so, as i said, gonna pretend i'm watching and enjoying your amazing gig, and if i manage to sew a dress for that occasion, gonna let you know what burda pattern i used to make it :*

    1. That book must be pretty amazing. Have you got Frank Ocean in it? Have you made your burda dress? Maybe one with a sequined removable breast cup for bebe.......

      I hope y’all had a LOVELY New Year’s, sis ❤️❤️❤️

  6. That's amazing. :) And now I have a new musician to check out! Wish I could be there to see you perform!

  7. BEST STORY EVER!! I smell the makings of a new pilot starring all these characters...ya never know.
