Nuno

Right before Jason left for Vegas (like the day before!), I came across the first issue of a magazine called Nuno. I saw it had some great projects in it, so I bought it, downloaded it, and skimmed the amazingly gorgeous photos. I figured the boys and I could do some while daddy was away. [...]

Mandatory break: over

So, that ear problem I mentioned in my last post turned out to be an infection. I lasted until Wednesday morning and then HAD to see a doctor. He said there was a small infection in my left ear. By this time there was swelling on my neck, so I needed some help in the [...]

Snippity snip snip

After many sweaty days and bathtub whines, I practically begged this one to get a haircut!

OK. OK… so, I bribed him with a buck. That explains his cheery disposition at the noisy clippers getting run through his thick locks.

In the excitement, I forgot to grab a sheet on the way out to the backyard. You [...]

M.I.freakin’A.!

Sorry about that.

We’re all moved in. Not completely settled, and I don’t quite know how many weeks we’ll be living out of boxes, but all our stuff is HERE. Allow me a bit to get my bearings. I’m still trying to get used to some things, like: having a garage, the plethora of insects that [...]

Happy birth & birthing day

Two years ago, today, we were rejoicing his birth on a sidewalk.

I made rainbow cupcakes for his birthday. He hasn’t seen them yet. I’m going to frost them right before we go to pick up his brother from school. I’ll try and get some photos and/or video while we sing that special song. It’s just [...]

Baby no more

I should probably stop calling him my baby. He’s the youngest, though, so he might be stuck with the “baby” nickname for all eternity. Or until I’m brave enough to get pregnant again (oh, the VOMIT!).

He’s growing up fast! Because I knew he’d hate the long drive and then the long ceremony, I timidly [...]

Two in two…

My baby turns two in two weeks.

I thought a diptych would be appropriate. In the second polaroid photo, he was making a ridiculously cute face, but he was TOTALLY anticipating the polaroid popping out, so he wasn’t being very still. I now only have ONE exposure left in my Spectra. I’ll save it for [...]

New bookmarks!

I crocheted and [finally] listed these 3 new bookmarks. You can find them in my shop.

I have 3 others that need to be photographed. I really do enjoy making these. Even with those tiny stitches! My favorite part might be choosing the buttons and thread, though. I arrange about 6 bookmarks, place the supplies in [...]

Climbing out..

Yesterday was a pretty horrible day. Nothing happened, but I didn’t feel right at all. I felt completely uninspired on every front–crafts, photography, Etsy, etc. Today, though, I had some coffee and a good breakfast and I think I’ve redeemed myself. I have done the following:

-crocheted new bookmarks for the shop
-crocheted an apron
-taken the kids [...]

2.7: You were a child…

Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice was too loud
We liked to watch you laughing
You picked the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

#2 on my 25 before 26 list is to take a photo of me, or a part of me, once every week. my goal is to be [...]
