It happens this time every year. Thanksgiving is over. December has started. And your child lets you know, “Sally’s elf showed up last night. Where’s our elf?” Oh, Sally. Thanks a !@#$% lot. If you follow me on instagram, you’ll know I tend to post a bit of Elf Mayhem during the month of December. … Continue reading Elf Madness
School started here in this little corner of Georgia a few weeks ago, and this time ALL the kids left the house! The youngest has finally become old enough to start her long, long journey through public education system. Marcy's in pre-k, now, and I'm not sure who's happier--her or me! We had a busy, … Continue reading What I Did on Summer Vacation Pt. 1
We're almost to the middle of October, yet this corner of the world feels like a sauna. Regardless, I've been knitting, crocheting, and doing the autumn type things, like going to the county fair, and buying up too many Halloween decorations--even though it's been so muggy I haven't wanted to decorate the house. I have … Continue reading Forsyth Fair
I pretty much spent this week indoors and avoiding "the outside." After Sean's health scare last week (he's completely back to normal, by the way) and all the terrible news online this week, "inside" felt much more comfortable--and safer. Living is exhausting, sometimes. I find this is especially true in summer, where there seems to be zero quiet … Continue reading New Projects and Progress (and Caught Red-handed)
So, summer, so far, is not going as planned. For one, I promised all four kids would be here at the end of the summer, and I already almost lost one! Okay. That's a bit dramatic. Sean's appendix ruptured last week. Apparently, those things just happen. Like, out of the blue, a part of you just … Continue reading It’s NOT a Bucket List! (And Baby Blanket Reveal)
The goal was to cut my bias tape to finish my patriotic "Little Morsels" table runner, but I didn't get to it yesterday. Instead, I got sucked into the black hole that is Shutterfly. Frustration is spending hours working on a photo book, then accidentally hitting "back" (easy to do on with a finger … Continue reading No Bias (tape)…Yet
Alright, not really a mailbox "surprise." More like a mailbox "something you signed up for a month ago and forgot about it." One of my favorite blogs, Posie Gets Cozy, posted about being featured in this new magazine, Making. So, I followed the website to the magazine, thought, "sure, why not" and subscribed. Well, the first … Continue reading New Knitting Project and a Mailbox Surprise
First of all, let's talk about this quilted table topper. Little Morsels. I only have one last thing to do before it's finished, and that's the binding. It is quilted and waiting. Whether it's waiting for that binding or waiting to be put out of it's misery--it can go either way. It's business in the … Continue reading Summer Plans, and How Not to Quilt
I can sum up the last several months (okay, it's been closer to a year since I've posted) with one word: Marceline. She was born in December. Saying life has been crazy ever since is not accurate. It was crazy to begin with. She's the fourth and last child--I do not plan on having anymore. There … Continue reading A Summary of the Last Several Months
Today's my youngest 5th birthday, and since she's smitten with Tinkerbell, I decided to design her cupcakes with that theme in mind. For my cake, I used a Coconut Cake recipe I found online. I didn't have marshmallow whip, so I improvised the frosting a bit. So, first of all, I found this really cute … Continue reading Tinkerbell Cupcakes
