wardrobe refashion:
pajama pants from thrifted sheet

By On July 22, 2009 · 5 Comments

It seems like everyone in blogland is making comfy pants out of vintage sheets. I don’t think mine are that old, but I still love them. They turned out a little big, but after my too-small skirts, I wanted to make sure they were wearable! I’ve adjusted the pattern a little for [...]

kearney cruise ’09: the details

By On July 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s been a long time since I’ve taken pictures just for fun. Usually, I’m trying to document a milestone in my daughter’s life or get a close-up of something I’ve made. On Saturday, I took pictures just because I was feeling creative. This set is the detail set. Larger pics in my gallery.

no vacation yarn for me

Wooly Mammoth Yarn Store, Kearney Cruise 2009

I’m kind of surprised I didn’t buy any vacation yarn yesterday. I’ve found so many exciting garage sale deals this summer, that going in and just buying yarn seemed kind of boring. There’s no thrill of the hunt. There’s no adventure in bargaining. [...]

I’m so excited that my crafty life has been featured in Redbook magazine. I haven’t seen it in person yet. My parents found the August issue in the airport. It’s not scheduled to be in my bookstore until the 21st. The wait has been driving me a little crazy! Thankfully my [...]

surprise for our recycling guy

By On July 15, 2009 · 1 Comment

Our recycling is mostly made up of glass, aluminum and plastic. Since I’ve canceled most of our catalogs, our weekly paper bin consists of some boxes, a few days of newspaper and junk mail. Not tomorrow, though!

Believe it or not, the biggest project I worked on while my parents were [...]

Right before my parents leave after a visit, my dad lets me download all of the photos from his camera to my computer. I love going through them. Here are three of my favorites from last week.

crochet bag progress

By On July 13, 2009 · 2 Comments

The tote is growing and the yarn balls are getting smaller. I spent a lot of evenings this past week hanging out with my parents, who were visiting from Baltimore, and crocheting round after round on my bag. It has become quite addicting.

Also pictured is a vintage crochet book I picked [...]

new photo space!

By On July 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’m really excited about my new little shelf. No more doorknobs in my photos!

It’s not really that blue, but the white spray paint I used still doesn’t match our trim very well. My husband said we have some leftover trim paint downstairs, so I’m still not finished with this project yet. [...]
