In with the New

By admin | Published: January 4, 2012

Yesterday I told you about the project that I finished up to say good-bye to 2011.  The best thing about that is saying hello to my first project of 2012.  Of course, it is knitting.  But, it is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I suppose there are some knitters out there who [...]

Just in case you need another reason to learn to Knit

By admin | Published: March 7, 2011

Life is going by way too quickly.  I have been a bit distracted by the births of a new Nephew in February and a new Niece in March.  Both babies and moms are doing great, but I am sooooo far behind.  I have been in auntie fog I suppose.  More of new baby stuff later, [...]

In the Works….A Shawl

By admin | Published: September 27, 2010

I love to knit lace.  It is very cathartic for me.  It is involves just enough through that I have to block most other thoughts out.  I also love shawls.  I guess it is the grandma that hides inside of me.  I will say that it is a bit ironic that I like shawls since [...]

I *heart* my bike

By admin | Published: September 15, 2010

I love my bike.  I don’t get to ride nearly as much as I would like to, but I think that is going to change.  So, in honor of “fall”ing back in love with my favorite mode of transportation…..I saw this bike in Vancouver, BC and THIS is what I want to do to my [...]

Spring Cleaning — Day 1

By admin | Published: March 9, 2010

Let the Spring Cleaning Party Begin!!! I operate so much better when I have the house organized and everything is in it place.  It is also so much easier to be a “good mom” when the house is not cluttered and we have a nice, comfortable, home to reside in.  How do I know this????  [...]

What to Paint

By admin | Published: February 11, 2010

I have decided that one thing I am going to do every month in 2010 is a painting. I am really enjoying watercolor, so that is where I will start. But, now I am feeling pressure to find the perfect thing to paint for January. This is ridiculous! The whole point is to have a [...]

Bohemian Spirit

By admin | Published: March 5, 2008

Recently, while at my favorite hang out, I met Amy, a local artist who owns Bohemian Spirit.  I had been in her studio/store two locations ago and was a little overwhelmed by the massive quantities of vintage goods.  We were the only two in the back room of the Red Cup and began chatting.  She [...]

WIP Wednesday

By admin | Published: January 2, 2008

Things are finally getting back to normal after the holidays. School has not yet begun. But, otherwise we are back on track. This morning I tried to make some homemade play dough for the older one. (Have I mentioned I am NOT a baker?) I had all of the ingredients except for the cream of [...]
