I'm still grannying along. New yarn arrived, which caused me to re-think a little. Sort of. I jumped in at the beginning, using what I had. Once the new yarn arrived, which I didn't think a...
Okay, so I got a new battery for my camera remote, pulled out the tripod and actually *tried* to do better. I think it is an improvement, but there is still much to learn. I still haven't figure...
The month of May is always busy for us. We have 3 birthdays, Mother's Day, a dance recital, extended family birthdays, and various other little things thrown in. This year we had some biggies th...
We celebrated another birthday around here last week. The biggest turned 11. Wow. I was given strict orders to not write anything sappy here, so I won't. But I will say that I am proud of this o...
Y'all, I suck at this!! I almost didn't go through with it. Not only am I doing a sucky job getting photos of my outfits, I'm having a hard time seeing myself in these sucky photos. Of...
If you haven't noticed, the crafty side of this blog has been lacking lately. To be honest, the crafty side has been lacking in my life, too! And boy, do I miss it! After seeing all the talk on ...
Hooray for Friday! It's been one heck of a week around here. Birthday, ball game, dance dress rehearsal, end of school year hoopla, it's been a busy one. If you were to drop by my house rig...
On Monday I turned 37. It wasn't the best of days. It had nothing to do with turning a year older (I don’t mind that at all), just a bunch of little things that became annoying after a while. Li...
A few weeks ago I was in the mood to knit. A sweater. With an upcoming trip that included a few travel layovers and a lot of relaxation, it was the perfect time to start something. I finally decided ...
Only a week in and my May is already a blur. Just about as soon as Ava's birthday ended, I hopped on a plane to be with some friends. As excited as I was to be with them (and enjoy the downtime)...
Just like that, my sweet happy girl turned 6. SIX!!! Wasn't I just blogging about Lily's 6th birthday? We celebrated this weekend with an art inspired birthday party. Everyone got to make a...
Yesterday afternoon while I was out in my yard enjoying the glorious spring weather, I was reminded of old times. Ava, Alex and their friends were playing on the swings while I piddled around the yar...
Oh lordy, what a week! I couldn’t be happier that Friday is finally here. Now that our soccer seasons are over, we have a little more breathing room on the weekends, which is very much looked forw...
Anybody out there care to do some pattern testing for me? I have two patterns that I've been sitting on for at least a year, probably longer. Ridiculous, right? One is for a bag very similar to ...
Many. many months ago I was asked to contribute to a book to be written by Jenny Doh, Hand in Hand: Crafting with Kids. When I read the list of contributors I was floored. Was she really asking me? ...
It's a Happy Day around here of the birthday variety. The man of the house has turned a year older. At this point, knowing the exact year isn't a such big deal, or so we're trying to s...
I’m afraid that I’m stuck at the moment. I can think of nothing other than stitching designs with vintage sheet bits. Dreaming up the designs, creating a stencil, hand stitching all the little piece...
Not too long ago I got my sewing space in order. Remember that? Cubbies of organized fabric, slipcovered futon, cute chair....and then I got pregnant and had a baby. It was nice while it lasted. ...
Five months. 5. F I V E. I can hardly believe it's been that long. Didn't I just give birth? I sure feel like it was the other day (and still have the body to prove it). Seeing the transfo...
Darn it! I thought I was going to fit in another post last week, bringing me up to 3 posts in one week. That would be a record for me since Ceci has been born. How sad is that? The days just whizz...
It started innocently enough, a search on etsy for some doilies. I was looking for plain old white doilies, nothing special. After a few shops I came across these - dyed doilies. I've dyed doi...
A few weeks ago Kara tagged me. It's been ages since I've played along with one of these, so I thought what the heck. Kara's questions sure made me think, that's for sure. Un...
I'm still here, still stitching away. A little bit here and there during those rare moments when I'm not baby tending. I have to remind myself to use that time for stitching instead of th...
We had a big event around here this week. Somebody lost their first tooth. Oh boy, what an ordeal it was. There was *much* worry and tears. She let it get to the point where it was barely in her ...
today, happiness is: laughing with my friends (alot) listening to & singing Cecilia several times with Ava & Ceci coming home to a clean house, thanks to my awesome in-laws lattes sunny sk...
Whoa. Life has been cuckoo crazy lately, but totally normal. It’s time I accepted that our new normal is cuckoo crazy. All we can do is roll with it. School, homework, basketball, soccer, dance, reli...
The other night I dreamt of rainbows. Rainbows, acid wash jeans and other very 80’s trends. The rainbow was on a phone, which then morphed into a different phone made of moon rocks with colorful jewe...
Um, last night I planned to post here, but that never happened and now I have no idea what I was going to write about. It was signifigant enough to post about, yet I don't remember. Crazy, huh? ...
Happy Valentine's Day! I couldn't resist taking some photos of baby girl in her heart print gown. Remember that gown? This is the first that she's worn it, and I love it! It fits her ...
Friday again? Already? Geeze Louise, time is flying by! I had plans of posting more this week, in fact I have two posts drafted and waiting, but by the time 9 pm rolls around, I'm beat. Apart fr...
