May-The-Fourth-Be-With-You

So Busy!!

My, I have been busy. I took a few days off of Kyla’s room reno to work on some secret designs (designs I have sold and can’t share with you until they are published.)

There is still quite a bit to do in Kyla’s room, and I hope to be done soon. I really need to buckle down and finish it, because we are having over night guests on Wednesday night, and we will need all the sleeping space we can get!

Speaking of guests, we had several friends over today. One couple brought this awesome pan of brownies:

Spool Knit Fun and Other Goodies

I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and that your week is turning out well. We’ve had some fun here. I used one of my new~to~me tea pots for the first time. It was an Earl Gray kind of day.

Tea-Crochet-and-Chewy

On Sunday the girls and I decided it was time for a spool knitting tea party. They had received spool knitting kits from my parents (who are now stationed in Sicily) for Christmas, and with the plague we had going around, I hadn’t had a chance to teach them yet.

The story of Hexie

I have been doing some housecleaning on my blog. Trying to get all the photos stored in the right place, and lots of other technical “stuff” I had no clue about years ago. It has been fun looking through old posts, though this is going to take at least a week, if not two! So if you notice a few things looking wonky over the next week or two, you know it is just me futzing around! Anyway, if you … Read more

Family Fun Night and other silliness

Well hello there my blogland friends! I hope you had a splendid weekend. I have some pretty snaps of the last few days to share with you! Everything looked so good at the produce store last week, I got very camera happy when I got home. I just noticed one of those plums looks a bit off in the photo. It must just be the water on it and a trick of the light, as they were all very great! … Read more

May-The-4th-Be-With-You-Star-Wars-Day

May the fourth be with me…and you too.

Just a quick post tonight. I know there is a running theme through this blog of me trying to find my way in my creative endeavors. I am always trying to balance what makes me happy, and what makes money. It is appropriate that on Star Wars Day, I have come up with an answer that makes me happy. I just followed MY force. I keep putting what really makes me happy to the side and attempting other things in … Read more

Sometimes you need to take a day

It was a rough night last night. Vada was coughing all night, and Kyla woke us up (OK, only me as Doug didn’t hear her) at 3am, crying with growing pains.

Due to the impending doom of Nemo *I dare you to read that without a chuckle* the district had called today as a half day for school. So, with the utter lack of sleep we all had, I decided it was time to take a day.

Sub~Floor? What Sub~Floor?

So I have looked up when in the basement before. I actually spent quite some time looking at the joists with the inspector. Yet for some reason, I never really looked at the ceiling/floor above the joists. Maybe then I would have realized why someone put other imitation wood floors all over the first floor on top of the real wood.

See that ceiling; does it look familiar? Here’s the dining room floor again (the one on the left.)

The good, the bad, and the monsters.

It was an interesting weekend here. Doug got home a little early on Saturday, so he and the girls spent some quality time together. Doug bought some new Dinosaur Train figures for the girls, and much fun was had by the three of them. Apparently there was a carnivore convention. When I came back to check on them, the convention had grown. Later there was light saber fun to be had. Everything was going well until dinner. So many times … Read more

Star Wars in Concert

Last month Doug and I bought ourselves an early Christmas present ~ tickets to see Star Wars in Concert. It was really quite wonderful. We got there early and waited in a VERY large group of fans, anticipating the musical event. There were a lot of children accompanying their parents, many of whom were dressed in costume. It was very adorable. I wanted to get pictures of them, but didn’t want to freak out any parents, so I only got a picture of this one:

Eventually we were allowed in. The concert was taking place in the Izod Center ~ a stadium in the Meadowlands which is also where Giants Stadium is. When we entered we were in the outer ring around the stadium, where the concessions, souvenirs, restrooms and such are located. While walking around we saw one little girl I just had to have a picture of; isn’t she cute? She is on her Daddy’s shoulders, if you are trying to figure out why she is so tall.
