asleep
I went into hibernation mode last week. It wasn't planned but I kind of avoided the computer. Went to bed early. Caught up on some much needed sleep. I hate to be on the computer in front of the boys, so usually wait until they are in bed. I'm refreshed now! I think the new hair helped s...

Day five and final post of Poppytalk's spring colors week. Lots of varying shades of white to be found at the farm last weekend. That was fun. I sure loved seeing all the spring colors during this drab season. Happy Friday!! xxxx

evolution
I gave up on resolutions years ago, but it doesn't mean I don't make them, I just don't try to make huge, sweeping changes in my life just because a new year begins. But then again, thoughtful changes here and there can make a big difference, right? So, here's what I've been thinking about f...

still digging out
We were hit with a super snowstorm last Saturday and my head is still spinning trying to keep track of which side of the street to park on. Plows have been coming through daily trying to clear the snow away. Any storm that can delay and MOVE an NFL game is worth noting. Did you see what it...
those came out beautifully. i love the yellow with the gray stones
my bf kristin has been up to the same thing http://kleas.typepad.com/kleas/2010/11/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed.html.

sea urchin
I. DID. IT. I finally taught myself how to make the little urchin crocheted rocks designed by Margie. You may remember that I have a couple of these already, but I really wanted to learn to make these myself. This whole crochet process feels a little like I've learned a new language, much the ...

for the holidays
I've been enjoying all the holiday gift giving guide posts I've been reading lately and thought I would share some of my favorites too. A cutting board is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook. These boards by grayworksdesign are functional as well as a piece of artwork for the kitchen...

ornament making...
...it's slow going in my home. But I keep plugging away. It was 2:50 in the afternoon when I took that photo, the sun already on it's decline.
holly is perfectly perfect. i have ornaments made by you (and emma i believe) to put on my tree which is still waiting for lights, ahem!

the tree's name is holly
and it's about half the size we usually get, but Holly is a stunner, and completely filled with handmade goodness... We've been told by the youngest that Tomte will be helping Santa this year. I've already found him several times in random places with a toy-filled kid's sock on his bac...

costumes good to go
It's impossible to capture in this post both how clever and quick with a good idea my husband is, or how excited Ian is for his Halloween costume. A robot costume made from insulation sheets (look ma! I don't need a coat!) No sew whatsoever, insulation tape holds the "seams" together. Pete...

letting go...
I've been a saver of things all my life. I save letters, magazines, old clothes. And I have a lot of trouble letting go of these "things" when I know it's really time. This past summer I started the daunting task of clearing out my basement. My momentum halted when I came across a box of clo...
that is really great that you have a resource like that to learn and meet other crafters. the information you give here is really interesting and i will remember it for my future displays and craft tables.

Networking irl
Yesterday was the first meeting of a course for local crafters that I'm participating in. It was so fun to meet a bunch of happy, inspired craftswomen in person and I'm already looking forward to our meeting next week. I joined the project to get to know other self-employed crafters in my area, ...

friday
I made this sweet pooch after I first saw the vintage pattern posted on Bethany's blog. (You can find it here.) And just because I like to make things small, I reduced the pattern and made some more. I played with the pattern a bit, adding a gusset to the pink one. I also cut the under bell...

sweet felt bunny
Last summer I was the lucky winner of a give-away Louise was having on her blog. She had started selling kits of her darling wool bunny in her etsy shop and was willing to give two away. I was the fortunate recipient of one of those kits and just couldn't wait for a quiet moment to stitch it u...

a true sign of fall
Autumn and knitting just go hand-in-hand for me. Maybe it's the cooler weather. More likely it's because it's football season and I love to keep my hands busy while I cheer on the Vikings. Here are a few washcloths I've recently finished. All free patterns were found online. heart spring...
wow how fun! i wish i was closer to dig through all of that fun stuff with you. can wait to see all the creativity that comes from that mother load.

This is what the back of my car looked like after Julen and I made a trip out to the ZeroLandfill program pick up site. The good people there (all volunteers) met me with smiles and were so happy to see an eager preschool teacher in search of classroom supplies. I went with a single modest sh...

I guess it's pretty safe to say I am not a summer blogger. It's always on my mind, but just can't tear myself away from these beautiful days I'm enjoying with my boys. Anyway...as a continuation from my previous post, yes...twenty-three days ago, I had promised to share a bit of the process o...

still my baby, though
My baby turned 9 on Tuesday. (And he would be very upset if he knew I was referring to him as "baby" anything, so don't tell him.) He completely geeked out on his birthday (more on that soon), and we just geeked out right there with him. He asked to go the Science Fiction Museum (who am I ...
