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 …

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 …
It’s November!
Just getting these up on the site now. I’ve made some other fun ones up, working on getting those up too. So much yummy ribbon has been coming in, I need to get it all up, they are fab-u-lous.
Love thy neighbors
How do I love my neighborhood, let me count the ways. First I’m misrable sick earlier this week and I hear racking. It’s my wonderful neighbor Eric, Tracy’s husband raking my yard, sa-weet! Then this morning I hear kids running around screaming and I look outside and see this: and it’s viola, clean street! File …
