Life Lately

I’ve started to relate to the Walking Dead a little too much in the past few weeks. That is too say the walkers not the actual cast. My brain has slowed down to what I can only describe as a primal state of move forward and eat whatever appears to be food. It’s a joyous type…

Voo Doo Doll Pin Cushion D.I.Y.

Maybe it is the hopeless romantic in me, but I wanted to share a project for Valentine’s Day. My husband is always complaining about stepping on pins. It seems that I can navigate around any that are on the floor in my sewing area but R attracts them like a freaking magnet. So I though how…

My Baby Is Getting Too Big

This is my baby, my little girl, my squirt. Okay, maybe this is a more accurate picture of what she looks like, and when I say more accurate I mean this is what she looks like. However in my head she will always be two. Today she started Kindergarten. She is thrilled and if I’m…

The Redwoods

Growing up in Pennsylvania woods are nothing new to me. We had days in elementary school dedicated to what to do if you were lost in the forest. I love nature, but the woods isn’t something I get all teary eyed about. My husband, R, is the exact opposite. When we first drove off the 101…
