I am having so much fun spinning right now. It is the perfect wintry craft activity. Easy to talk to people, not necessary to really focus on what you’re doing, and so instantly rewarding. And now that I figured out how to not over twist my yarn I don’t have to wash and set the …

Anal Amber
So I have this problem with wedding registries, many of them bug the crap out of me. Either everything is a) not my taste (obviously this is my problem) or b) ridiculously huge. So when Bj and I set about registering I wanted to make sure that we only put things on the lists that …
2 good ideas
1. Perfect re-heating with an old crock pot lid (1.99 goodwill) as told to me by a fellow thrifter: 2. Wash all fabric as you acquire so that you are ready to go for any and all projects: My Hawaiian stash all clean and ready for projects. This worked out way better than last time.
Mascot
Leave it to some nice snowy weather to get me crafting. I worked last night on my living room curtains (they have been just pieces of fabric nailed up for over a month now) while waiting for Brent and Emilie to come home. They went with my dad and step mom to Cali for Thanksgiving, …
Mark Your Calendars
March 31st is our official wedding date! Lots to do, like find the ceremony site, but we do have the reception place picked out, the grand ballroom at the Governor Hotel. Bj and I met with a woman there and then we met with our planner to discuss more details. I am getting so flipping …
Turkey Success!
I did it! I coordinated and cooked a big Thanksgiving feast right here in my little cottage! When I first got the place I was so excited that I shouted out, "I’ll do Thanksgiving!" with out really thinking what that entailed. Then I got engaged and it kinda fell to the back burner so this …
Conversation Starter
I mean, I think I can carry on a conversation with just about anyone, but I’ve still got that tickly throat thing and I want to spread the conversation around the table Thursday. Do you know of any site that has cool conversation starters? Or do you have a good list going somewhere? I found …
The “one”
And now for a little wedding business. You know you can plan a wedding in less than five months, but it takes some serious hustle. Decisions have to be quick and precise. I thought I was doing all the important things first, like venue, but it turns out dresses take for freaking ever so it’s …
I {heart} Paperzone
Seriously, I only went to Paperzone to stock up on some larger poly bags for Ribbon Jar, but they were having this sale and… Plus I was with Sciarrino and we picked up some papers and envelopes to play with for the wedding invites. So I ended up with some awesome paper and some stamps …
Waiting for Wii
Outside Fred Meyer’s at 7 pm they cracked and had to call me for blankies and a little table to play poker on. They’d been their three hours already and they (from left; my cousin Ryan, Bj, and Brent) have five more still. I’m getting married to a nerd. But a cute one. And after …
