Last night my wonderful husband threw me the best party of my life. I told him I wanted a backyard party with BBQ burritos and our friend’s band playing. The rest was up to him. He went crazy and almost all my friends came, it was brilliant. The set up for the band: Jettison Bend. …

That speedy thing called summer
Well, we got a decidedly late summer start here and I’ve had no desire to welcome fall anytime soon. With temperatures looking high into the next week I don’t think I’ll have to. We have not necessarily been super busy, just having a good time loving life. Helping this is the fact that I really …
Summer Sewing
I’ve been adding lots of stuff to the Ribbon Jar lately in anticipation of fall (and dare I say it holiday!) crafting. I am loving this super wide ric-rac so I thought it would be fun to do it around a big pillow. I might go back around it and sew it a little closer together …

Squeezing in Scraping
A couple weeks ago (or maybe last week—it’s all running together!) Sarah and I had an online scrapdate 🙂 Look at me using thickers! This next one is a scraplift (and then switched up a bit) from an old book I forgot how much I loved: Scrapbooking Life’s Little Moments. I hope it goes without …
A year in a half of Tuesday
Oh sweet Tuesday, how much do I love this girl? A lot! At 18 months she: -Says two words “yes” and “dirt” we have been outside in the yard a lot lately, obviously. -She also has this questioning sound she makes, like a “huh?” but way cuter. I must get this on video, she does …
