I wish there was a shot for seasonal colds.

I’ve had a cold the past week, so that is the reason for no posting.  It is hard for me to put a sentence together when I’m not feeling well, let alone an entire post.  This morning at school drop off a friend of mine was standing not 20 feet from me waving frantically as [...]

Let this be a lesson to you

If a child in your life should ever choose Inspector Gadget as their Halloween costume GO WITH IT!  I did not.  “Why don’t you choose something else?”, I said.  “It will be so hard to find a trenchcoat in a size 5.  Let’s try something else”.  He chose a skeleton and I thought EASY!  Lucky [...]

We interrupt this vacation to bring you…

Finished Projects!
I have 2 friends that are due to have babies soon and they received these gifts from me.  The baby bootee pattern is the same one I used for these.  The pink ones have the ruffle around the cuff that is in the original pattern.  The burp-cloths are more of the same [...]

Diversions

I should be writing about our vacation, but I’m creating diversions because I know it will take me a good chunk of time.  So instead I’m showing you one of my finished Christmas gifts (yes, in September) because we decided to give homemade this year.  This one is for Gloria.

The pattern is [...]

Spring

Spring is here and after the long freezing winter it feels so good.

We have had a lot going on here the last month, and I simply have not had time to blog about it all.  Rather than backtrack I’m going to start afresh.  I made some Wee Bunnies for the kids’ baskets.  They are super [...]

The Halloween Post

Ahhhh…Halloween.  I remember as a kid loving Halloween so much that I would start thinking about the next year’s costume on November 1st.  Good Times.  I was reflecting on this while driving the kids to school and listening to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” on the radio when the kids started fighting in the backseat.  I was [...]

Simple Shades for the Living Room

I realized I forgot to post pictures of these.  I actually did these a while ago to replace the very glamorous cotton blanket hanging in these windows.  Pip is very happy to have this replacement.  I also made a matching one for the front window, but due to mis-measuring, the wine colored strip is on [...]

FO’s (Finished Objects)

I’m all about finishing projects over here.  I knitted some sushi for our dear friends who got me to eat (and love) sushi.  They are moving out of state and I wanted to give them a permanent memory.  The pattern is from Magknits.

Also, I finished a pillow I’ve been working on for forever.  I want [...]

First Sewing Project

I have completed my first sewn object!  With a lot of help from my mom, I made this purse last week and pretty much love it.  Though the pattern was “for Dummies”, I was assured that it was very poorly written and a lot more difficult than it had to be.  At any rate, it’s [...]
