All in the name of a good cause

Oh hey… I haven’t written a post here since February. Now now, this isn’t a shocker, I understand that. You all have come to expect spurts of blog posts from me but consistency isn’t what you expect from me. That’s fine, my feelings aren’t hurt. It’s quite the opposite, actually. What have I been doing […]

A seasonal haiku

And now, I present to you only the finest form of poetry – a haiku: My thoughts on winter You have disappointed me No snow do we have Winter has been one big disappointment this year. Sure sure, it’s snowed a few times in Fayetteville this season. None have really stuck around. The one pictured […]

A post in which I started an apology

It seems I’ve reached the point where I start to write about how sorry I am for not blogging for ages and how busy I’ve been and how I’ll do better and how I’m not sure what I should be writing about and what does my blog mean to my readers but most importantly me […]

Project Overload

Things are getting festive in my world. I’ve been getting ready for a Holiday Open House at the flea market and doing a bit of crafting for my one holiday craft show. It’s starting to wear on me. I’ve been working a LOT lately and when I come home, I have to sit down and […]

Saturdays are for Thrifting

I don’t often reserve certain days for activities, unless that day is Saturday. Almost every Saturday morning (unless I’m at work or out of town) I’m up early and out the door to hit up my favorite thrift stores and flea markets. I don’t always find treasures. But when I do, I find the best […]

Keeping Warm

Just popping in to say that once I finish this project, I’m never knitting entrelac again… at least, never with tiny yarn and never a long scarf. This is seriously the project that never ends. Ever. I’m not finished. I really don’t think I will finish. I need to put this away until I have […]

Let The Festivities Begin

Halloween has come and gone… and without much excitement, I’m sorry to say. Last Halloween I went all out with a hand made costume and brought home the gold from the office costume contest (well, maybe not the gold, but I did bring home $75). This year I took the easy road and went as […]

Staying Indoors

This is all but a memory now. The season’s first frost has come and gone so my herb garden now looks like this: It’s not as glamorous (that is, if you consider a back porch of a pretty hohum condo glamorous) but it should do for the colder months. I always feel guilty having to […]

And the baking begins

When it’s finally cool enough to run the oven without having to open windows lest you’ll find us taking cold showers just to be able to put up with the heat in the house, you can’t pry me from the kitchen on a Sunday. Last weekend it was pumpkin cupcakes… with cream cheese frosting, no […]

Eight Years

Today marks the Sweet Boy and my 8th anniversary! 8 years ago today he picked me up to take me out to a friends house for some good, old fashion pumpkin carving. I think I carved a fortune teller or something. Funny how I can’t remember exactly what my pumpkin looked like, but I remember […]
