This weekend there was an estate sale in my neighborhood. I love estate sales but haven’t been actively seeking them out and I stumbled upon this one as it was closing up Saturday. I know I’ve said this before but estate sales are such an interesting look into a person’s life. I’m sure it’s not …

Sure signs of spring!
For a season that used to be my least favorite, I’m really coming to love spring. I love that all our summer things start up in the spring. Maybe I never realized this before because I was always hibernating my spring away (read—crafting). With Tuesday we like to get out and about. Imagine my joy …

Sewing on layouts
I know, it’s all about scrapbooking this week. Since I had all my supplies out from being toted to Portland I just kept on scrapping. I won’t be scrapping tonight though because it’s my 4th anniversary! Can’t believe how time flies. Just look at this munchkin. This one wasn’t coming together as a 12×12 so …

Basement – our painting area
The posts of the basement (play side here, and work side here) don’t show the whole story. We also have an uncarpeted area that is home to storage, a giant bookshelf, laundry area, and now a painting area. I have had the big easel for a while, and the bigger canvas (a gift from Carmen), …
Mist making
Oh I feel so smart. I figured out how to make my own mist, which is just ink after all. Obviously I’m not the first one to figure this out, since Ranger makes these great little mister things (they come empty), but still I felt quite smart. And less guilty because I have all this …
