It’s no secret that I love crafting in all its forms. I make stuff for my kid, stuff for me (occasionally). I make stuff for a living (at least in part). I love to make gifts when I have time, and I like to make cards. But. I came across some crafting this morning in […]
Rainbow Pom-Pom Garlands!
The Bit had a three-year-birthday celebration that lasted a good three weeks (with three parties!), and we finally finished up with her big party with friends at Boingo Bounce, a local indoor place full of inflatables. She’d originally said she wanted a party at home with friends, which I was totally down with, but Boingo […]

Monday Morning Making: A Lesson About Being Prepared
Over the weekend we bought an itty bitty pumpkin at the grocery store. It’s a little early to decorate for Halloween, but pumpkins in their whole form are perfectly appropriate for fall, and they’re cute, so why not? Last year I let the Bit paint a pumpkin, so that’s what she wanted to do again. […]
A Job for Which I am Completely Unqualified
I’m a Virgo, which anyone who knows anything about astronomy will assume means that I’m logical, analytical and well organized. In fact, this random website that came up first when I Googled “Virgo characteristics” says Virgos “keep the world in order.” Some of that may be true, but anyone who knows anything about me knows […]
