So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

In an effort to keep my mind from wandering to the current stress of life, I’m crocheting an afgan.
I’ve found that the movement it kind of like saying a rosary - the methodical motion calms my nerves and centers me. I need a lot of that these days.
Since I figured that I make enough weird [...]

I haven’t written in a while. I got a little scared off and a lot pissed off.
See, it seems that my blog was referenced in court a few months ago by someone who’s got an ax to grind with me. Seems’ that I’m too lax of an educator… all because of one post about the [...]

I even did a zipper, and I don’t like to do zippers.
The print includes little Mandarin jackets, [...]

I missed posting again yesterday…
Today we moved some shelves around…
we needed better sewing & crafting storage.
I’ll post pictures of that when it’s actually done!
We did get the “Nature Center” revamped.
Special thanks to Kater for taking the pictures!

I forgot to post a picture last night…
I was high on paint fumes, and mad at my MIL who insisted that we all have dinner, that she’d pay if we just ordered the food, and then bailed without even bothering to call – after we’d spent $55 on the food she told us to order [...]

Kater & Em’s Little House display…
Finished off with a barn, animals, trees and family.
I’m so proud of them – they worked so hard
and I’m pretty amazed at their creativity!
