Here is another one of those blog posts that I started writing weeks ago and never finished. Seems to be the norm around here! Story of my entire life right now… A few months ago, I got an email from Kristy of Quiet Play. (No big deal, only one of my very favorite quilters! Her…
Our back deck has always been one of my very favorite places. We’ve made so many fun memories out there since we bought the house. It’s where many of my favorite photos were snapped. (Mostly of them blowing bubbles because kids make hilarious faces while they’re blowing bubbles!) This year, we started a small potted…
I’ve got this habit of starting to write blog posts, and then letting them sit in the drafts folder for all eternity. I don’t even remember when I started “writing” this one! I think it was 2 weeks ago? I think that’s how long ago I dyed my hair… I guess it was mostly because…
A few weeks ago, Flynn picked a bunch of dandelions for his teachers. When we got to class, one of his teachers said something about wishing she had a little vase to put them in. So we made them some little vases! The second Flynn saw these potion shaped bottles at the store, it was…
This is most definitely the coolest project I have ever been asked to collaborate on. In fact, it might be the only collaboration I’ve done… But it doesn’t matter because it’s still the coolest. (Sidenote, I should collaborate more!) A friend of mine from Instagram is making a Harry Potter themed Clue game, and he…
Happy Camp NaNoWriMo! Yaaaaaay!! I had a very productive first day. I taped a writing meme to my new notebook. (Because tradition.) And then I wrote 1,342 words that are complete nonsense. Like, normally I feel like my writing is complete nonsense, but this is LITERALLY complete nonsense. And probably about 65% spelled wrong. I…
When Juniper was a year old, we went to CT for Christmas and to visit my newborn niece Piper. My sister gave Juniper this stuffed cat for Christmas and Juniper spent years carrying that thing around. It was pretty adorable. (I’ll admit though, I thought everything about this kid was pretty adorable.) One day, a…
The latest craft swap I’ve completed was cartoon themed. I recieved an amazing package of Adventure Time goodies that make me ridiculously happy. And here is what I sent my partner. This 241 Tote was one of those “this is going to be amazing – crap what the heck did I get myself into –…
When I made this sculpted map last week, someone on Facebook suggested I make necklaces. And you know how much I LOVE seeing how small I can make things! Tiny things are my favorite. The first map that came to mind was Neverland. It was so much fun to sculpt this tiny thing. I’m not…
You know those projects that pop into your head and refuse to let you accomplish a single other thing until they are finished? I’ve got a couple of swap projects that I needed to finish up this week, but this map has been consuming all of my free time. (Who needs sleep anyway?) I CAN…
I can’t sleep. I’ve just been really stressed out lately, and I don’t want to go to sleep because I know I’ll just have to wake up tomorrow and I already don’t want to. So instead, I’m sitting in my craft room, binge watching Merlin while I ATTEMPT to finish up some projects that have…
My craft swap obsession is still going strong, but I’ve become a lot more picky about which ones I sign up for. Mostly I just do the nerdy fandom specific ones because I can’t resist them! This one was particularly fun to participate in. I made my partner a bag that has a Serenity reverse…
I did not think this post was going to be so hard to write! Which is just silly really. Basically, I want to say that I miss blogging and I’ve made it a goal to start writing on a regular basis again. There are LOTS of other things I want to say, but maybe those…
I had lots of plans this weekend. I have three embroidery hoops I still need to finish, and 4 illustrations. I also wanted to straighten up my craft room since it got a little disheveled while I was looking for things I needed to pack for our CT trip. BUT none of those things happened.…
Whenever I hear about people who are struggling, be it financially or physically, I always get this sinking feeling in my gut. I wish there was more I could do to help others, I wish I were a millionaire so I could just give them the money they need. It makes me feel so tiny…
