Such a busy busy work day today! As part of my 3-week-old “improve all of the neglected areas of my life” initiative, I’ve designated Wednesday as the day that I take care of all kinds of miscellaneous business tasks – essentially everything that isn’t packing & shipping. Today it took hours longer than I expected. […]

They call me Mellow Yellow
More Yellow Week. Did you know there’s a flickr group for this, too? I didn’t think I cared much for yellow until I started seeing some of the striking photos people are taking. I bought myself flowers two Fridays ago and they’re still hanging in there. Pretty impressive lifespan for a supermarket impulse buy. There […]

Did you know it’s Yellow Week? Well, it is. I initially signed up for this because I thought it would be a challenge to find yellow around my house, but when I set to looking for it, well, it turns out there is a lot more yellow around here than I thought! I even woke […]

Yesterday was low-key, which is just how I like it for Valentine’s Day. It’s never been one of the “big” holidays for me, and I’d just as soon skip it, were it not for the little people around here. You can’t really ignore holidays when kids are involved. They seem to like having excuses to […]

It’s a crazy windy day today! Remember last year’s wind storm in March that took down the largest tree in our yard? This one reminds me of that – without the mangled branches on the lawn or the broken van window glass all over the driveway, of course… We’ve lost power a few times today, […]

As I type, the mercury is creeping up past 62 degrees. I’m wearing shoes without socks, a lightweight shirt, and fun daisy earrings. Several of the windows in the house are open in an effort to flush out the staleness of winter, and I’ve decided to pick up Aidan from school today so he won’t […]

Saturday I sat down with my little bowl of buttons, and began to organize them by color and pattern. There is something strangely appealing about this activity for me. Seriously, I could probably re-arrange and re-organize them all day long and not get bored. But then, I’m weird that way. I had them out so […]

Here are a few of my recent Flickr favorites. Click on the image for individual photo credits. So, it’s Friday. For real, not just in my mind. How do you plan to spend your weekend? I’m hoping to do a little something crafty, and try not to make any big messes 😀 Rumor has it […]

I see from the comments on my last post that a lot of us are kindred spirits. I didn’t get a chance to reply to everyone directly, but I have read all of the comments and appreciate their sentiments. I have several goals with this new chapter in my life, and one of them is […]

I’ve got a tendency to obsess. That’s Neil‘s word, not mine, and while I don’t like the negative connotations of it, I’m at a loss to find another term that fits. So obsession it is, I guess. Polymer clay, sewing, knitting, website design… I love making beautiful things, and I know that sometimes I am […]
