I painted these several years ago. So long ago that they should be touched up. And I don’t think my husband has ever seen them on display. This weekend, I took down the Valentine’s Day decorations (really, they were painted hearts that sat in the shadow boxes) and decided to put up the patriotic pieces. …
I was in Hancock Fabrics this afternoon (my lunch break – someone in the office actually thought I was out “making curtains,” rather than just buying fabric for curtains.) Anyway. I was looking for fabric to make my brother’s curtain. He needs a large curtain to cover a leaky window. Sand gets in and it …
Remember I told you last week that I had painted a nightlight? And remember how I said there would be photos? Well I finally took the pictures. And I uploaded them to my computer. How’s that for progress? The front (click the photo to see the detail):The back: I love it. It’s one of my …
I thought that my trial run in sewing would carry over into tonight, but it didn’t. I had an exceptionally bad day at work, and it’s kind of rubbed off on everything around me. I went to ceramics class, but only to chat with the ladies. I haven’t painted anything (besides the kitchen) since before …

I’m hosting a stamp workshop tomorrow night. I’ve attended at least two of these, and they’re fun. We gather, someone teaches us how to make a way-cute card, and I purchase stamps that I *promise* to use. I have used almost all of my stamps, though, so I guess it’s ok. (I didn’t use all …
One of my resolutions is to learn how to sew. I really, really want to sew. I’ve been looking for curtains today and I know exactly what I want, and it’d be so much easier if I could just make them myself! I’m also considering signing up for the cake decorating class again. First one …
The old me is slowly returning. I’ve spent a lot of time cleaning tonight, wrapping gifts, cooking (lots and lots of potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner) and most recently making gift tags. You see, I have all of these bath salts I wanted to give as gifts for Christmas (and I have a ton more to …
I completed a blanket tonight! This one took far less time than the last one, and is a little smaller (yet still very large) than the other baby blanket. Susanna and Todd are having a baby boy in January, and the shower is on Saturday. I started making this blanket in August. It took 3 …
We’re going to look at two more houses tomorrow. Kenny actually stopped and looked at one today, but we have the official appointment tomorrow. (It’s vacant – he wasn’t just looking in the windows on some poor family.) Think good thoughts. We both really like the house he’s stalking, but it’s possible that someone is …
