A Pretty to share

I received word from Jenna that she had received my package, which means I can breathe again. I hope she has time to finish the summer dragon in time.
I also included with the package something that I had wanted to give her for her visit. And so, my second biscournu ever:

And the back:

I had to [...]

Ch..ch..ch…changes

So I have decided to make some changes to my lifestyle, the main one being my work schedule. We operate on a shift-bid system (your metrics dictate your ranking and then you can bid on a shift). My ranking was pretty good this month so I decided that I would try out working days for [...]

Eight years ago today…

… I was conked out in a hospital bed interspersed with times of trying to figure out this whole “breastfeeding” thing moms and nurses are on about. Today was altogether different. Today:

is Kimber’s 8th birthday. Sorry for the blurry photo, I had to catch it before all the candles went out. I think Kimber had [...]

I have been looking for two days for my scissors so I can finish off a gift I was supposed to have finished for Jenna’s visit three weeks ago but I [...]

No stitching today…

I don’t think it was an actual person that inspired you. My grandmother knits and crochets (like a mad woman! Muhahaha!) as does my mother (sometimes), [...]

Back to reality

So my sisters are back home, in their own beds, and we are here trying to get back to normal, what ever that is. I go back to work tonight after having nine days off and I am NOT looking forward to it, as you can imagine.
This past week we went all over the place. [...]

A quick note

… to show off the Summer Dragon finish on Outi’s RR piece. I plan to finish Autumn by Friday and have it sent of to Jenna asap as I am horribly late.

A wonderful surprise

So for the last six weeks we have been planning for the arrival of my sister, Angela. We have been planning excursions and menus, and our excitement has been building. This morning, Scott went to pick her up.
Except she brought some stranger with her – my third sister, Kathleen! What a great surprise. It turns [...]

It’s gone!

I thought I would use photos for this post:
