Last week. Was. Horrific. Oh my gosh. I don’t even want to think about it.
There were a few good points. One or two.
1. My college supervisor observed me teaching, and it went phenomenally well. Like, super amazing. (My mom acts completely non-surprised: ‘I’ve always said you could do anything you put your mean little head [...]
I was skimming through the archives a minute ago, and I came across my list of resolutions for 2009. I’m not linking back to it here, because I’m a little embarrassed at how little I’ve accomplished. I have learned to bake pretty good bread, so that’s one thing checked off, at least.
Maybe it’s time for some [...]
Just found a link to that reading list I wrote about the other day; thought some of you might be interested to see what’s on it. Scroll down to pages three-five.
Speaking of mother-daughter book clubs (the first two pages of the link, for those of you non-link-clickers), I always push books into my mom’s hands. [...]
I made a Halloween costume for one of my best friends this year.
It was my first sewn garment.
I will not be appearing on Project Runway anytime soon.
What was it?
I’ll give you a clue.
She wasn’t Dorothy.
Actually, that’s two clues, because now you know it was for a girl, too.
One of my favorite things is to walk through my house and see every single member of my family reading a book. It makes me think twice about having a t.v. in my future home (although I am rather attached to Glee, and Project Runway, and The Hills/The City<-don’t mock) (and speaking of, there’s this [...]
A little while back I was wearing this outfit:
And I got the following comment from a random guy I passed: “That’s a serious look. I like it.”
I chose to believe he was referring to my outfit, which was a serious look for a rainy Wednesday on a college campus, and not the look on my face [...]
If you know me at all, you probably know that my very most favorite movie is “You’ve Got Mail”. I love Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, her hair, the music, her BOOKSHOP, HER APARTMENT!! Ackk!!
So I made a quilt inspired by the quilt on her bed in that movie.
It’s a smallish, lap quilt sized throw based on [...]
Beverly Lewis, aka one of my top three favorite authors of Christian fiction ever, was in a town 45 minutes from my house last Tuesday afternoon. So you better believe I loaded myself up in my car and headed up there! I’ve been reading Beverly Lewis books for the past 6 years or so. I [...]
For those of you not in the craft-y world, I’m talking about unfinished objects. And I have lots of them.
1. Belinda–So yeah, I’ve been working on this wrap for almost a year. And I’m about 1/4 of the way done..soo..3 years to go?? (Here it is back in November)
2. Pleated Wrap–from the Spring/Summer 09 issue [...]
This past Saturday/Sunday, my family went on vacation for the first time in four years. (One short vacation every four years really is what we average, but as you will see, we cram so much into those two days we’re happy to stay at home for a while.)
We got up super early and drove five hours [...]
