I really have been knitting toward my first NaKniSweMoDo sweater, but I'm stuck on the sleeves which is BORING!  So, I am showing what I've been doing in the sewing room.  A few weeks ago, I ordered some scraps from WiseCraft off of etsy.  It was a fun challenge to get some "surprise" scraps and … Continue reading →

Those are probably two words that should never be said together, but in this case, the combination turned out pretty well!  I made a diaper cake for the baby shower for my boss.  It was my first attempt and I used the information found on another first attempt to help guide me.  The outside layers … Continue reading →

Who knew that learning about photography could be so much fun!  I learned so much today and will probably be processing it for weeks, but it was really fun!  I’m just trying to figure out how I can line up some models that will stand still as chasing the kiddo around doesn’t always give me … Continue reading →

This is a picture I took at our friends' wedding last weekend.  It was a beautiful wedding and I had a lot of fun trying to capture some of the candid moments for them.  I know I love the candid photos from my wedding, and I hope they will enjoy these, too. This weekend, I'm … Continue reading →

I spent a lot of this weekend thinking about ways that I can be involved in more crafty endeavors.  I dreamt of it being my life, my job.  I schemed about businesses to start and classes to teach.  In the end, I realized that you don't manufacture that sort of thing, you just do what … Continue reading →

Over Christmas break, the kid got a cold, which turned into an ear infection (um, which he isn't supposed to have anymore since he got tubes…oh joy).  Then, the husband got a cold.  I thought I had missed it, and I did, sort of.  I've been having troubles with my contacts so I went to … Continue reading →

I finished the back for Salina yesterday!  I am now a few inches into the sleeves.  We totally hibernated this weekend, which helps with the knitting progress.  I decided to do the sleeves (both at the same time) in between the front and the back for two reasons.  1. Sleeves are most often when I … Continue reading →

In my effort to capture the little everyday moments of live, I bring you one of our favorite things right now.  Bird Meetings!  Anytime the kiddo sees a large group of birds hanging out together on telephone lines, he gets SO excited.  Kids are really good at helping you appreciate the little things in life, … Continue reading →

Inspired by Ali Edwards and her One Little Word concept, I have picked a word for 2009.  It is Capture. This has a lot of meanings to me. I want to get better at photography, so I can better capture moments that I experience. I also want to catch up on scrapbooking, but that's a … Continue reading →

In the whole NaKniSweMoDo challenge, I want to get 12 sweaters/tops that I will ACTUALLY wear!  I have a stack of handknits that do not get worn.  Even my Audrey, which I am most proud of, is too short.  My two struggles are the length of the torso and the length of the arms.  If … Continue reading →
