I’ve been working diligently on the lighthouse cross stitch. And everything was going great until today when I sat down to begin lighthouse #3. I completely miscounted and stitched for an hour only to have to remove all but about 20 stitches and start over. I was so disgusted that I put my tools away [...]

Busy making things
June 17, 2009 – 9:22 am
I’ve had the notebook crafting bug:
Click to see some of the other notebooks I’ve made over the past week or so.
So, question: Should I put up an Etsy store and start selling my creations?
I’m still hard at work on the lighthouses. I’ll take a photo after tonight’s work and post.
Gus was a friendly ghost

My mom saved a couple of boxes of my children’s books for me to give my kids. They’ve sat in the bottom of Eli’s closet since before there was an Eli. He’s looked through the books off and on a couple of times and has come up with a few gems that he likes to [...]
Will work for fabric & floss
June 12, 2009 – 10:18 am
You know how the other day I mentioned that I was working on a cross-stitch piece someone hired me to do? Well, that generated a fair number of questions I thought I’d answer in a post.
How did the person find me?
A long time ago, like around the time Eli was born, I was talking with [...]
What have we been doing lately?
June 9, 2009 – 10:26 pm
The list is long but boils down to this: trying to acclimate to Eli’s last summer before school starts.
In an effort to keep things light this summer, I didn’t schedule any camps or lessons of any kind for the kids. Ironic, since this is the first summer Eli’s been old enough to be eligible for [...]
Craft Night
May 6, 2009 – 2:06 pm
Last night was once again craft night at Casa Granade. We had a small turnout but that allowed us to really spread out and work and chat.
I am excited to say that Craft Night is becoming all that I dreamed for it to be. Everybody is working on different kinds of projects but it works [...]
Here, Have some Cute!
May 4, 2009 – 9:35 am
A week or so ago we went to a bluegrass music festival here in town. We ended up leaving early because the kids were crazed but the pictures I snatched before we left look like we are having an awesome time.
The best photo of Will and Luke I’ve taken by like 1000%.
Thursday I had Emily [...]
A House Concert with Eric Peters
April 29, 2009 – 1:03 pm
Saturday night I had the privilege to see a house concert. Geof hosted Eric Peters at his condo clubhouse and the audience consisted of me and six other people. And Eric. Eric playing some really amazing music.
I don’t know if the concert would have been as amazing with any other singer. Would I have [...]
My Latest Hobby: Artist Trading Cards
April 21, 2009 – 12:02 pm
As you know by now, I get on these wild crafting jags where I make one particular thing until I’m exhausted or until the next shiny thing catches my eye.
Artist Trading Cards are the latest big thing on my desk. The only two rules for ATCs are that they must be 2.5″x3.5″ or smaller [...]
