I’ve been over Today it was try and I can’t wait to knit it up, I’m thinking a cap. But first I am going to spin up my souvenir from Alaska: I wanted to get some thing to take home that wasn’t like a traditional gift or whatever. So I got this at this super …

Curtains… For Grown-Ups!
Okay so if you were to come over the first thing I would say to you is, "I know, I know, the front of our house does not mirror the cuteness within!" And it’s so true. And a big part of that was the whole sheets-for-curtains situation (one of which was, uh-hum, bright and plaid). …
They’re HERE
Yesterday, they day I took around my camera but did nothing with it, I picked up Ceara and Grant from the airport! My friends arrived earlier than expected and I was still in my wedding dress trying to figure out if my chosen underwear would show through when she texted me. I hopped over a …
High Strung
When areas of my life seem a bit too out of control for my liking, I feel I must take control some where. Most likely something will be cleaned, organized, or purged. This weekend I did a bit of everything and checked a bunch of things off my list, which made me feel so much …
All Knit Up
And here she is, the cutest little god daughter there ever was, Miss Violet: I know I left the red leggings she was wearing on her, bad choice, oops! And her and her mommy. I can’t believe how long the little munchkin is getting. Those pants are going to last like a week. But they …
How I spent my winter vacation

A bee in my bonet
What does that phrase really mean anyway? Well I knit up a bit of the yarn I’ve been spinning up, not very cute on a glass, but I don’t have any babies around here, 🙂
I call it yummy
I am having so much fun spinning right now. It is the perfect wintry craft activity. Easy to talk to people, not necessary to really focus on what you’re doing, and so instantly rewarding. And now that I figured out how to not over twist my yarn I don’t have to wash and set the …
2 good ideas
1. Perfect re-heating with an old crock pot lid (1.99 goodwill) as told to me by a fellow thrifter: 2. Wash all fabric as you acquire so that you are ready to go for any and all projects: My Hawaiian stash all clean and ready for projects. This worked out way better than last time.
Mark Your Calendars
March 31st is our official wedding date! Lots to do, like find the ceremony site, but we do have the reception place picked out, the grand ballroom at the Governor Hotel. Bj and I met with a woman there and then we met with our planner to discuss more details. I am getting so flipping …
