Slacker Extraordinaire
So yeah, I’ve been busy… Between Gabe, job, laundry, cleaning, and the holidays I feel like I’m in a vicious cycle of never-ending chores. And Gabe can’t mix me cocktails yet to make the time pass easier, so I’ve been sort of a mess. I have all these ideas floating around in my head and...
Adventures in Cloth Diapering
Most of my friends and family said “Yeah, good luck with that!” But I knew I wanted to at least TRY using cloth diapers. I seem to remember a similar response when I said I didn’t want any pain-killer drugs during labor and delivery — and that worked out just fine for us, thank you...
Baby Craft
I’ve been sooo busy with regular work/freelance work, personal drama, among other things that I haven’t really had the time to get my craft on. There hardly seems to be an end to this madness in sight. And I’m jonesing really badly for some fun craft action. But I’ve got my sights on an upcoming...

Crochet Madness
For the past month or so, I’ve been juggling freelance, slacking off, and a large crochet project. Since the cat is out of the bag (i.e. the gift has been given to its new owners) I can post about my crochet madness. I made a large afghan for my friends who are getting married in...
Grandma Would Be Proud
With all this free time on my hands I’m catching up on various craft projects I’ve wanted to do for a long time! Here’s the low-down on what I’m doing. I bought some clearance fabric at Jo-Ann at least a year ago, and have been too busy lazy to make anything out of it until...
