If you were the happy owner of an Android HTC Evo 4G, and were looking diligently for a cute phone case, you would very likely be frustrated. Because there aren’t any cute ones–at least not that I could find. The iphone seems to have a tight grip on the market for cool cases, apparently we [...]

Harper’s Lullaby

I have a special little lullaby for each of my kids, and Harper’s has been especially important because there’s been so many times–especially in the hospital post surgery–when I have had no way of comforting her, so instead I would get close to her face and just sing her song. I feel SUPER shy about [...]

Mom, I need you to make me a sign she said as she brought me a marker and paper. What for, Honey? It’s bedtime. And to her credit, she was ready; all but this very important final preparation. I want you to write ”This Sunday is going to be Josie’s bestest Sunday ever.” And if people want [...]

The Stick Horse

I guess this is Bullseye. I prefer animals with less predictable names, but my kids–who get the last word–think it’s a fine name for a fine horse. This was my big homemade present for my two year old son, but it’s been equally loved so far by his name-choosing sister. I had to make up [...]

I drew my sister-in-law Mere for Christmas this year, who wanted a wallet–something modern, something neutral, something functional. I based my color scheme off these shoes, which I knew she really liked. I made up the wallet pattern, because I couldn’t find a tutorial for a bi-fold with vertical card holders. The leather detail really makes [...]

I like New Year’s, cause I’m a goal enthusiast. Can’t you tell by this picture? I look like I’m ready to snuggle with my goals. Come here, You! Here are my 2012 goals before we get too deeply entrenched in January and her icy tendrils… Family/home: -Potty train my two year old (working on that [...]

Unteathered

Last Friday I did something that I’ve dreamed about doing for the last 5 months. I pulled out Harper’s nasal tube. Just like that. I untaped, took a deep breath, and pulled. She cried, and then I kissed her sweet, rosy, unteathered cheek. Since her G tube placement (tube inserted directly into her tummy), she [...]

Chewy Cranberry Almond Granola Recipe + carving an eraser stamp

When I got married, I procrastinated waited an entire year before getting my thank you cards sent out. There are those who think that after 6 months it is just a lost cause, and that one should just let it go. But in my mind, all that time just compounded my thanks. The gift givers had [...]

A few words, and Merry Christmas!

Last week was a really difficult one for our family, and life has been pretty stressful since then. Last time I blogged I mentioned that Harper was about to have a surgery putting a G tube (for feeding) directly into her tummy, so we could eventually phase out her nasal feeding tube. The surgery went [...]

My Folksy Tree

So although I’ve posted all these ornament projects, I actually wasn’t planning on photographing my whole tree, because I’ve tried before and failed sadly–my dark basement living room makes for pretty regrettable pictures (I take all my photos in my kid’s room, which is the lightest room in the house). But several of you have [...]
