I found a new craft that I love! (Still crocheting my little afghan, just taking breaks to be addicted other things as well). I found a cool recycled bow tutorial, and it looked simple. So I tried it out. I made my bow using this tutorial. The first one was a little wonky, and IContinue reading “Bows”

Dear Jess, I think I’m addicted. I don’t think we need to stage an intervention yet, but if you understand the force of my attraction, there may need be one in the future. I’m just warning you… I have not been doing much crafting per se, (baking for the holidays) but this weekend with theContinue reading “Hooked”

We are getting hit with a ton of snow around these parts. Nice to be snowed in with my hubby and baby and not have to worry about anyone going anywhere! Even if we did have to miss the holiday parties this weekend… I was discussing with a coworker on Friday about the insanity thatContinue reading “Let it Snow”

“I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life” – Maya Angelou I’m not sure where I read this quote recently, as I can barely keep track of which socks I’ve worn, whether I sent that email or not, or if I took a shower in the past fewContinue reading “Soul Searching”

I made something! Finished! It feels great! I made baby pants, which unfortunately do not fit my baby But fortunately they will probably fit someone else’s, so will probably work well as a gift! I was afraid I made them too short in the waist and legs, so I didn’t do a great job hemmingContinue reading “And Crafting Commences”

I am very busy. As you might guess, being that I’m still a fairly new mom. I can barely believe that my girlie will be 6th months soon! Times are flying, I’m trying to savor every moment. I have been making lots of baby food. Pumpkin, squashes, applesauce, swiss chard, and more all getting cookedContinue reading “Something to Look Forward to…”

Hello all of my blog-readers who might still be out there! I am still alive, I did not perish from fatigue! First my computer broke, and it took like a month to fix. By that point I had lost so much sleep and was so busy with everything else that I didn’t have time toContinue reading “Long Time Away”

If asked, what age would you say this face would be? Today was my birthday, and it was a milestone! I don’t really feel older, just different, and that has to do more with having a baby than the birthday. We went to an Indian restaurant for dinner, and it was good. There were manyContinue reading “This Face”

Earlier this past week (Monday to be exact) I took a class about spinning on a wheel. It was a one-day class, and we did a little bit of everything. We learned about fiber, washed and dyed some, hand carded, drum carded, and Viking carded small bits of fiber, and learned how to spin. IContinue reading “A Spinning and A Stabbing”

I had an epiphany today. A lot of knitters out there (including me) have at least at one time or another wished they knit faster. It would be great if you could finish more projects, or get to more of the items in your queue. Believe me, I have lots of things I want toContinue reading “Too All Slow Knitters”
