I'll be heading back to Kansas City tomorrow, and I'll be leaving these guys and so many other things that I love in Texas. My dad is improving slowly, but making progress none the less. I am, admittedly, torn...
The toddler did something new the other day with blocks; he built something. Normally we build things; he just knocks them down. It should be noted that his preferred method is while riding on a truck, but I digress....
I had the absolute pleasure of receiving company at my father's house this morning. My good friend Joie stopped by with her daughter to spend some time with the baby and me. I am always amazed at how easy...
I took my show on the road today. The baby and I headed out to Houston to be with my dad while he has triple bypass surgery on Friday. I will try to continue to post everyday, but we'll...
Truth be told, I have something akin to the opposite of a foot fetish; I just don't like other people's feet. I could never be a masseuse or do nails, as it would require me to touch them. I...
Spot on, for once. That's the finished gauge swatch for Unmentionables. I found Brown Sheep's Cotton Fleece in that lovely blush color on clearance at the Yarn Barn a while back. A LONG while back. I think it's the...
I'd love to say that I am ALL caught up, but that's just too good to be true. I've come to terms with the fact that that's just not going to happen. Life is messy; that's part of the...
I had a brain storm the other day when watching something about food on TV, and I just had to try it. What if I could make a cake that tasted like a chocolate chip cookie? In my head...
Photo credits go to Hubby on this one. I'm no Ace of Cakes, but I did manage some pink point shoes for a little girl's birthday party a week ago. I rather like decorating cakes, but I found this...
I've been stealing a few minutes lately to check email, Facebook, blog or otherwise take a deep breath before I come back downstairs when I put the baby down for his morning nap. The toddler is safely tucked into...
I so rarely make it to the Yarn Barn that I have a tendency to do some stash supplementation when I do. In addition to the single skein of Frog Tree on Saturday that beautiful stuff up there came...
The great thing about this self portrait project is how easy it is. I don't have to remember anything when I head out the door, just the camera. The subject, well, she's there if I am! And reflective surfaces...
Spring is officially on it's way here. I took the baby to the Overland Park Arboretum this morning for a chilly walk on some paved trails. We saw lots and lots of green just starting to peak through the...
I wasn't going to post today. Really, it's Sunday. I was going to try and rest. Then I saw this over a Soule Mama and I had to share. Go watch it, and let it inspire you to create...
I LOVE this block. It's my favorite so far. I really liked knitting the miter, so there will definitely be more mitered blocks. I have some other ideas to try out too, and I'll be casting on tonight for...
The first welcome signs of spring are starting to arrive here in the middle of the country. I missed the perfect photo op the other day, though; the same shoots were peeking up through a few inches of snow....
We need a birthday gift for a party that's tomorrow. It's for one of those people that I never know what to get, but I think I may have nailed it this time. That up there? It's a journal...
I started a new project a couple of weeks ago. You know, like I need something else to do... I've decided to start taking self portraits. In my head these start simple like they have, but slowly I find...
Travel size pillowcases for toddlers. Those two up there were given to the toddler at our house. He's currently in bed, not sleeping, with the orange one that has "ex-vators" on it. The other two became the wrapping for...
I found a few minutes on Saturday to gather materials and sew. It was the first time I had sewn anything in over a month. Long over due! I was so excited about the polka dot flannel that I...
Seriously, I had no idea how well this would work. The Chicken had me pretty well convinced to try the baking soda hair wash with apple cider vinegar rinse, but I was a skeptic about how well it would...
