Us

We took this in a random bookstore photobooth yesterday after our last company picnic.
I kinda can’t wait to be funemployed with this guy.

Summery

I am totally obsessed with sewing. I made this (rather ill fitting) little dress last weekend (which knew I had to make immediately after seeing Carrieoke’s version on Flickr), and despite its flaws, I love it so. It’s just so… summery!
First, the good points:
- The fabric was cheap! I got it for $6.50/yd on Etsy [...]

FO: Lace Ribbon Scarf

I have a knitting FO to show off! I finished the Lace Ribbon scarf last week! Things were touch-and-go there for a while with this scarf, because it was knitting up way too thick the first time around. I ended up frogging it once I was several inches in, and I was able [...]

BOATING!!!!

(Not really.)
We took our little boat out on the (big!) lake yesterday with hilariously disastrous results. It was the first time we’d taken it out (T has been fixing on it for years now) so this was more of a water test, to see if it would even float. We get it in the water [...]

Aaaaaaaand there you have it! That’s Boulder Cave!

Camping at Cedar Springs, Part I

We took off last Friday and went camping last weekend. I realized once we got to the camp site that I hadn’t been camping in over a year. It seems like we used to go a half a dozen times each summer, but I don’t think I went at all last year! That probably explains [...]

Bicraftual

Oooh I’ve definitely got the sewing bug. I’ve really been trying to reign it in and minimize my spending, but when I found out that Etsy had good deals on stuff I wanted (needed!) I allowed myself to partake in a little shopping spree. After all, a girl needs a hobby. And a girl needs [...]

Repurposed

(Inspired by Twisted Knitter’s recent blog post.)
We have a running joke in our house that almost everything in the house has been repurposed for another use, and almost nothing is used as it was originally intended. We have portholes for windows, an old freezer door as a bathroom door, and Christmas lights hanging in our [...]
