Happy Halloween to all the little ghosts and goblins out there!
This was the pumpkin that I carved last night. He’s a devilish goblin.

Friday Fill In
1. My favorite food seasoning is salt.
2. Peace and quiet is music to my ears.
3. Lucky is the person that breaks the mold of being normal.
4. My Blythe obsession [...]
Last week I ordered my Blythe doll. My other Blythe doll. You see, I was impatient, (not unusual), and I wanted to buy a Blythe doll. Because two is better than one, right? I bought and paid for it on Friday from one of the stores in Japan, (because it’s extremely hard to find Blythes [...]
That’s how I feel right now.
It started Thursday night. Shawn and I drove to Knott’s Berry Farm out in Buena Park. They were having a Scion night and the first 2,000 Scions would get free tickets for everyone in their car. They were insanely busy. But even after driving for 2 1/2 hours we seemed [...]
The plan was to make a cute little cupcake hat for Scouts second birthday. I started it lastnight. I felt I might end procrastinating on making this for her because I have so many things to do. As simple as I’d like my life to be I am still busy on a day to day [...]
Friday afternoon is usually when my weekend begins. There are movies to be watched, knitting to be done, food to be made and weather to be enjoyed. There is housecleaning and relaxing, though never at the same time. There is sleeping in and staying up late.

And kisses.
There are pumpkin patches.
And funny faces.

Most of my thoughts lately have been geared to simple living and home life. And I’ve been thinking of how old I feel. Yes, [...]
How’s that for clever?
I finished the Jaywalkers by Grumperina at 2:30 this morning. Sometimes being an insomniac is handy.
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM
Specs: I knit the 84 st set. No major modifications except that I knit these shorter than the pattern says because Koigu only has 175 yards compared to the yarn recommended.
I can pat myself on [...]
An epiphany hit me this week. (Yes, it really took a week.) Live simple.
Two simple words have changed me. I feel like a coccoon has opened and I’m the butterfly flying out. Seriously. I read on Apron Craft Girl’s blog about an internet community called Freecycle. In a nutshell it’s a place where you can [...]
Ever since giving up scrapbooking as a hobby I’ve hyperfocused on everything else.
Knitting. Jewelry Making. Baking. Quilting. Cross Stitch. Sewing.
But every now and again I get out some patterned papers and adhevise. I cut different shapes and different sizes. I trace chipboard to make big, bold lettering. I cut ribbons and use them as page [...]
