Since I won’t see my mom on Mother’s Day this year I had to be a bit proactive and ordered her presents early so I could wrap and ship them myself. To be honest, this is what I do for most family birthdays and holidays, because we live nowhere near family and I love wrapping gifts. [...]
It’s been a busy weekend, but a fun one: lots of extra activities, church services, and time with friends. And now,this afternoon is being taken over by schoolwork. I have a small collection to finish rendering and a pair of trousers to sew. At least there’s more than enough sweets to go along with the [...]
I took these photos last night. Don’t they make a handsome couple? I love how the brown paper and red plaid ribbon look together. The top is my gift to Joel. (I got him this lego set.) He was so excited when he opened it and played worked on it all night. The lower photo [...]
Love it, or hate it February 14th is here and I am gonna wish you a Happy Valentine’s! I don’t get the Valentine’s Day hate. What’s so bad about having a day that’s focused on love? How about a little less hate and a little more love in general?
How amazing would it be to have a little Valentine’s Day escape to Paris? In this little daydream, I scamper all over the city with my boy and pup in tow and we eat good food and take lots and lots of photos. If plane tickets aren’t in your budget this month don’t worry because [...]
Hello friends! I’m just popping in to send best wishes for a safe and happy new year your way. My New Year’s Eve was spend quietly and wonderfully. There was baking and knitting and dozy puppy and candles. Don’t worry, the puppy left the candles alone for the most part. I did have to move [...]
New Year’s Eve is inching closer and I don’t have any plans. I secretly hope my plans will include knitting, eating something tasting, watching Midnight in Paris, and being tucked up in bed not too long after midnight. Despite sounding like a little granny, if I were planning a little New Year’s soiree this year, I would [...]
Please excuse this week’s Wednesday Love for being extra homebody-ish, but it’s been a terrifically lazy week around here. We’ve had a few trips to the movies (I still want to see The Artist, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Tin Tin), knitting projects, lots of reading, and lots and lots of cups of Newport Coffee’s amazing [...]
There are so many must makes for this time of year and I thought I’d share two of my favorite Christmas recipes today. Hopfully you aren’t in too much of a sugar coma from the sweets that the holidays bring! The first recipe, well, I don’t have a good name for it. Growing up we [...]
Yesterday, was Christmas and it was a truly wonderful day. We got up not too early and I made coffee and Joel read the Christmas story and Cors sniffed at the presents that smelled like rawhide bones and tasty treats. We didn’t have a white Christmas but we had lovely soft lights and a nice [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
