I’m sorry it’s been so quiet around here! I have lots of projects and a little news that I want to write about, but I’ve been hiding under a sea of homework. I’ve finished everything for two classes and I just need to finish one last garment for the semester. Tonight. I need to finish it tonight [...]
It’s a misty spring morning and Cors and I went stamping through the park. We saw ducks waddling and quacking along their way to the lake and got very wet and a little muddy. Somehow after all that, a quick trip to the store for tiger tail donuts (my favorite!) seemed in order. And an [...]
Fridays are my all-day schoolwork days. Last Friday it was around 2 o’clock when I finally looked up from the sewing machine and thought about lunch. I wanted something tasty and didn’t mind taking a break from my work. I did a quick pantry and frig check check and came up with this simple snap [...]
I forgot to mention last month that Cors turned five-years-old. It’s hard to believe he was ever the tiny little teddy bear that we brought home all those years ago. But he’s still every bit as cute and crazy and fun. Cors was a little extra mischievous this weekend. He stole cleaning rags when I [...]
I didn’t get many photos of the weekend. I guess I was too busy enjoying myself. I balanced enjoyment and work pretty well this weekend, which can be an unusual occurrence for me. Normally, I play too much (ignoring laundry in favor of baking, etc) or work all weekend and feel wiped out on Monday morning when I find myself back [...]
The weekend was a success. Lots of work was done, coffee was drunk, the dog taken for walks, and thunderstorms admired. I took a handful of photos mostly of things being drunk or eaten, like homemade cheesecake with blueberry topping. I made it partially as a joke for Joel’s 5 year “twitter birthday” (thus the [...]
There’s been a lot of plotting and scheming happening in this house. Don’t worry they are good plots and excellent schemes. Fingers-crossed, I can share a few of them soon. But first we have to get through the school year and Joel’s graduation. Have I mentioned that Joel’s graduation means a trip to New York [...]
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 was doing so well with my photo a day project until March. It was dark when I got home most days and nothing seemed especially to need its photo taken. Getting sick didn’t help matters. Maybe it was this little accidental break that has lead to the photographing spree I’ve been on lately. Recently, I’ve been admiring [...]
For Christmas my parents sent Joel a copy of Jamie’s Great Britain. It’s gorgeous and full of mouthwatering recipes. It’s been our go to for yummy dinner ideas for the last few months. Like the name implies, it’s chockablock full of traditionally British dishes, little history lessons, and simply stunning photography.
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
