I should forewarn you. This is probably going to get sappy. My big girl just left for three whole weeks. My mama came to get her & they flew back to Alaska. To a small fishing village with heaps of snow. To two black labs and a house on the sea. To my brother. And to a Papa who can't wait to tea...
Yeah, I totally understand that one. I feel that way a lot! How's taproot? Thinking of subscribing, but would like to get the lowdown first! Love the bunny!!

Sewing Again
My to do lists for much of the month of January ended up having a significant amount of non crafty type work on it. Yes, really, I don't know how to make tax preparation fit in the crafty category. My brain hurts just thinking about it. But all that is done and over with and my plate is ver...
The month of January is fabulous! I am loving the 365 project! Would love to do more projects! Wanna collaborate?
I did try....
Has anyone ventured into the 365 projects on flickr? I thought I might be able to pull off a year of self portraits... what a fantastic idea, right? Well, I started the first of January..... and by the end of the month I was totally loathing my camera... I was so sick of taking a self portrait. ...
Yeah!! Beautiful pictures of you:) Many, many happy birthday wishes to you, may this be a great year!

These girls have been so good for me! They humor me and all my silliness of make believe! Chickens: Yes, yes Nichole, we suppose it's just dandy for you to pretend you are a "for real" farm girl. Look, we'll greet you at your door and run and fly to you when you make your way to us in the morn...
Lets do it!! Stephinie, we could pick up bulk supply on the way home:)))
