I’ve decided to revive this space, I miss recording my little adventures, no matter how insignificant! I’ve probably spent more time quilting this year than on any of my other crafty pursuits. I don’t have much to show for it, but I did finish one quilt and one top, so far. The quilt that I … Continue reading
My Menu Planning Gameplan
Okay, so I haven’t actually used this yet, but I came up with a plan for menu planning (heh) that I thought I’d share in case it helps someone else out. I have recently discovered Evernote (thanks to Mary-Heather) and have been using it for recipes and shopping lists. It was so handy over the … Continue reading
The Santa Suit
After coming back from Thanksgiving and the Arkansas Fiber Extravaganza (which I’ll blog on the Ravelry blog this week), I was greeted by a note from C1’s teacher written prior to Thanksgiving which we obviously did not see. She asked me if I could make a Santa suit. I responded by asking her for who … Continue reading
Black Friday
I didn’t keep up the blogging over the holiday but now that I’m back to a bit of a normal schedule, I’m back at it. One highlight of my holiday break was Black Friday shopping with my cousin, aunt, sister and the husband. I’m not one to get up early, so we hit WalMart at … Continue reading
Hit the road, Jack!
As I write this, my rear end is tightly wedged between two car seats, C1 on my right watching Toy Story 3 on my old phone (thank God for technology) & C2 on my left eating, non-stop. The plan was to drive halfway tonight, but I think we might push through and get to our … Continue reading
Holiday Knitting
I only had one thing planned to knit for Christmas presents, fingerless gloves for C1’s teacher, but then I found another gift for her that I thought would be great. That means I don’t have any holiday knitting left to do but I do have a holiday break coming up, so I’ve been planning what … Continue reading
Purple Patchwork Penny
I wrote my cousin on Thursday or Friday to ask her what her soon to be 3-year-old would like for her birthday. She told me that she loves dolls, so I instantly thought of the Wee Wonderfuls book. I decided to give one of them a try, but really doubted my ability to finish it … Continue reading
Crafturday
Here’s a little glimpse at what I worked on while all the boys were napping this afternoon. I started and nearly finished a Wee Wonderfuls doll today and finished Carolyn’s blocks. It was a really nice, relaxing and productive Saturday. Continue reading
Weekend Plans

Pepo Pie Progress
How’s that for a little alliteration 😉 Last night I made it to the arm holes on C1’s Pepo Pie. I’m so glad I made his first, as C2’s should fly after this one. Not that this one has been that slow. I’ve made this much progress in a week, which I’m thinking is pretty … Continue reading
