There is a wildfire near my house. About three miles away. It's really rattling to see this natural disaster from my front yard. At this point in time, there are so many wild fires that people become numb to how scary they are. The idea never really sinks in. So I took some pictures of the fire in Alpine, Utah. Imagine. The crowd. The view from our front yard.

It was our 1st anniversary on the 18th. Our cake was still good. And that weekend is also Father's Day, so we flew out to Oregon to visit my daddy 'n stuff! It was a beautiful trip and I took a whole bag of pictures (whatever that means). We wished we could stay longer, but instead we will just look at these over and over again and live in the past. Yay!

With the push of a husband, I have updated my online portfolio. I added some of my recent photography, some of which my readers have never seen! Mainly because it's pretty abstract and centering a post around it would be too wishy-washy. I also added my wedding and engagement pictures, since I edited all of them. Please take a look! to my portfolio...

We went hiking. Around the back of Mt. Timpanogos. The only disappointing thing was the dirt bikes shattering the silence every 20 minutes, smelling like NOT happy flowers and trees. Here's more pictures from our Canon EOS 60D! pretty stuff. human beans. gnome goes places. We keep seeing this gnome everywhere we go. Oh well.

One of the most delicious food experiences in this life is Tom Kha Gai, a thai soup made of chicken (Gai) cooked (Tom) in coconut milk which has been infused with galangal (Kha), lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. Galangal and kaffir lime leaves are hard to come by, so I use thai paste (which has all those ingredients) I found in the "asian" aisle of my

I have a new toy! Actually I don't even consider it a toy. It's a really freaking expensive piece of professional equipment. It's the second most expensive thing I own after my car. It's a Canon EOS 60D and it's wonderful. Here's a few of our first pictures: i walked around. gnome goes places. real human beans. That

It was about time for something different. The internet needs more simple, beautiful designs. A design change also gets the ball rolling with what I'm going to be posting about soon. Just a bit more planning and I'll finally reveal it! Go ahead, click around the site. Tell me how you like it.

I have explored many options of making easy money online. The best site I've found is SwagBucks! I've gotten $35 so far! I've done literally nothing outside of my normal internet surfing.  I'm going to share my favorite way of making free money online. For a while there I went kind of crazy with making money online. I'd spend hours on Mturk (which isn't bad if

I have probably made more than this recently, but I walked around and took pictures of nine things I've made since I haven't been posting. Snow globe made from bird toy, baby food jar, water, and glitter.  Not yet completed! But it would still be beautiful left this way. Collage of bright colored magazine scraps.  Framed art I made from an old dictionary page, covered with

A quick little post about a cute little project I did recently. I got the cardboard birdie for a dollar at Micheal's, and used old dictionary pages, scrapbook paper, and binder hole reinforcement stickers (also from Micheal's) and ModPodged them all on!

Hello world! I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy working! One of the best things that has happened recently is my upgrade from blackberry storm to HTC Thunderbolt. Finally I have a powerful smartphone! I'm writing from it now. My windowsill is the display case of my house. I keep my favorite beautiful things there. And all of them are important to me. The first of just four of these

    Hello world! Remember me? Last time we spoke, I was not married. But now I am! I plan on uploading some pictures to showcase the best parts of my home-made wedding. I am currently still working on editing about 900 of our wedding pictures. It's a huge task, but I was lucky to have such a great photographer.     Today I made a snack. I rarely make these because they

     Today, I share one of my favorite books. Not many have heard of this book, but it is very popular. It was written in 1887 during the Victorian era for girls ages 8-18, and has been republished numerous times since then, and has had many different covers. The American Girls Handy Book: How to Amuse Yourself and Others, written by Lina and Adelia Beard, is full of

          Cuteness is abstract, subjective, and undefinable, but I love cute things. I don't know why. So, as I am always happiest when I am creating and contributing to the beauty of the world, I make cute things. Here are just some of my previous creations. __________________________________________________ These are my Peas in a Pod. They are

I love amigurumi.       For those who haven't yet discovered it, it is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.  Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic

I am making all the boutonnières and wedding decorations for my wedding in June. I'm not having any flowers at my wedding since they are expensive. I've always loved peacock feathers, so I use the feathers to replace any traditional flower decoration for my wedding. Here's a preview of the look of the boutonnières. This one is my fiancé's, which I enjoyed making the most. :)

Today is a the birthday of my blog. I will share neat things here, and generally attempt to share my interests with anyone who finds theirs similar.  With that, I will start off showing the little monster I crochet using this cute pattern at CRAFTYisCOOL blog. I've been crocheting Sackboys for our wedding cake toppers, and it's been a difficult start. The yarn I was
