the kundhi family takes manhattan

By On June 17, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’ve been so busy making gifts this month, that I forgot to post pics from the Kundhi visit. I’m also guilty of being distracted by Bella’s latest milestone. Oh, well. Better late than never, right?

We drove down to Manhattan, Kansas to visit T’s cousin, Sonu, on a Sunday afternoon. The drive [...]

This yarn has been sitting in my stash for over a year waiting for the right project. I have six balls total and got them all for $5 at a garage sale. When they passed the burn test for wool, I was even more excited! I was thinking of making a blanket [...]

Hurray for going to the potty! I want to write more about this exciting event, but Mickey’s Clubhouse just ended, so computer time for me is over. Let’s just say we’re all happier around here without diapers.

project to do: rugs

By On June 15, 2009 · 2 Comments

We have a sisal rug as a door mat that we bought from Restoration Hardware more than 10 years ago. I love the look of sisal, but it’s a little expensive. I thought it would be easy to reproduce by knitting with sisal. I got a ball of it at the hardware store a few [...]

We drove up to NE Lincoln today for one specific garage sale. It was a teacher selling books, puzzles, flashcards, toys, games, crafts, etc. Bella was excited. Since we were driving across town, I checked for other sales in that area in case this one was a bust. I’m glad I did because this one [...]

Last weekend T was away at the track. It was kind of rainy and the week had been busy, so Bella and I hung out at home. We read books, played with puzzles and watched some Dr. Suess stories I picked up at the library. The only time we left the house was on Saturday [...]

new skills: satin stitch and cross stitch

By On June 10, 2009 · 1 Comment

June is a hard month for me to have a craft blog. I’m busy with birthday, Father’s Day, and anniversary gifts. Throw in the occasional June wedding and there’s not a lot of time left for non-secret crafting. Most of this month’s posts will probably be close-up shots. At the end of the month, I’ll [...]

By On June 8, 2009 · 2 Comments

These flowers and buttons make me so happy! I am just in love with this cardigan refashion.

I found this Talbot’s sweater at a church garage sale. It was in really nice condition. The button bands were even backed with grosgrain ribbon! I knew right away this would be be a [...]
