I’ve mostly been working Ribbon Jar, but I did sneak up to Seattle with Bj for a few nights. Carmen was in town for work so I couldn’t pass up the chance to see her "down south" hehehe. Anyway just wanted to catch you up on my projects: It’s just the way it is framed …

Jar Love
This is what I did All. Weekend. Long. And I roped Bj into Ribbon Jar stuff. The jars rock if you ask me, I’m just about to release them here. But also we (Bj) revamped the ideas page, and added a much asked for gallery of past jars. The only problem is that now people …
Ikea Love
Ah sweet Ikea how I love thee. Well I really really like thee, but Bj LOVES Ikea. We went right after it opened in Portland and it was crazy. We were a little concerned seeing as how they had people parked fair style on the grass because the place was overflowing, but we knew what …
Spin Cycle
I’ve been over Today it was try and I can’t wait to knit it up, I’m thinking a cap. But first I am going to spin up my souvenir from Alaska: I wanted to get some thing to take home that wasn’t like a traditional gift or whatever. So I got this at this super …
Then and Now
By the time I finish posting this it will be my birthday, and I will be 27 years old. To give you an example of how much I’ve changed here I am 20 years ago: Some where in between there I had to work on an "about me" project for my eighth grade English class. …
Lets talk nasty motels for a minuet
Bj and I did not plan for this trip. Not really. Two weeks ago in Vegas I pulled out the big map that came with the guidebook and said, "okay so we’ll take this road, than the Alaska Highway, then a little cut-off and we’ll be there." And since we had no idea how long …
Crafty Little Sister
So every Tuesday during the school year I picked Emilie up from school and we had a good old time watching Veronica Mars and being crafty. This summer we thought we would continue with Tuesday, only she’s been coming over to help me with some Ribbon Jar work. But we still manage to find time …
Helpful? Doubtful.
So… I’m upstairs cooking in the kitchen (with my vintage apron on – how 1950s housewife of me) and my dear husband decides to help me out. I hear the dryer going, and four hours ago before I went to the grocery store and the bank I told him he could switch the laundry, none …
We’re home
Okay so I guess the guest blogging thing didn’t really work out. It turns out Sciarrino moved while we were away. In addition to taking care of our place and helping with Ribbon Jar and all of that she was painting, and cleaning and painting some more. I’ll bring you updates to that soon, but …
And she’s gone.
The new owners came and got her this morning. I’m sad, but as Bj keeps telling me, I AM getting a new car soonish. So have fun with your adventures in Alaska dear car. I’ll miss you.
