Stop Thinking About Me

This week Liv’s school has Parent Teacher Conferences and she has a half day Thursday and no school on Friday. This means that her school celebrated Valentine’s Day on Wednesday. She exchanged valentines with her class and had her Valentine Social where all the kids get a chance to practice their manners and the parents [...]

I saw this on the So You Think You’re Crafty site and I instantly wanted to make one.
I loved how it wasn’t over the top cheese-y yet still worked for Valentine’s Day. Joe, you may be shocked by this next statement, but I don’t have any Valentine’s decorations. This was the perfect project for me.
The [...]

And in honor of “Love” week I will be focusing on what I love.
I love my Gary!

Did you know that Gary is awesome?
Did you know that I am a brat?
It’s true.
Last month Gary started a project that I had been wanting him to do for a long time. He started tearing down a small section [...]

I need more time. More time to work on my projects for Christmas.
I plan on making this for Gray-bee…

…and this for Olivia (thanks Korby)…

…a blanket very similar to this for Isobel (almost done this one, maybe I should start on her fabric jingle ball)…

…and I am working on a project that involves these for Holden…

I am [...]

My camera broke. I can still take pictures, but the display screen does not work. (It’s like owning a cell phone and then having to go back to a phone with the spiral chord.) This means that I cannot erase the pictures on my card because I cannot access the menu. Our memory card holds [...]

I forgot to take a picture of the pants before [...]

My serger was ordered online about a week before my birthday. I knew it was on its way and I was ready to start making something. Anything. So I headed to my local library.
I checked out a large stack of books. I poured over them and my serger hadn’t even arrived yet!

Most of them were [...]

I love my Gary. I also love to tease my Gary. He takes it so well. He was such a good sport about his Father’s Day present this year. He wore it all day. (But never again since. I can’t figure out why not?)

I had a hard time coming up with a diaper for this year. Last year was my favorite diaper with the Headless Horseman. How could I top flames coming out of the nostrils? Simple, I couldn’t. I had been trying to come up with something since September and everything I came up with seems blah. [...]

This year was the first year ever that I have wanted to do some canning. I took a preserving class several years ago when I was a teenager and you can imagine how interested a 17 year old girl would be in canning. The main reason I took the class was because it was a [...]
