Thanks for all well wishes. We are on the mend, all the messy sick laundry is done and we ate today, whoo hoo! Tutu was cared for yesterday by my mom who brought her back a few times for me to nurse her (and we gave her frozen milk, I was afraid I would have nothing being so dehydrated). I’ll just look at the bright side – that was a quick way to loose four pounds!
And now the winner of my Box of Amber (which I can not wait to make and will share):
Suzanne that means it’s you! I’m going to email you soon to ask you some questions about your craftiness (and possibly any dietary concerns :)! FYI I started it on 2 because Bj was 1 and like he said, he doesn’t need the box since he has the real thing!
And a post I can’t believe came so quickly – Tutu year one, a pictorial recap:
Four days old – the closest thing I got to “newborn shots” as Tuesday usually looked like this:
Two weeks old – fighting sleep, this will become a theme.
1.25 months – for scale.
2 months – pretty much the only way she will sleep (she still does this arms straight down thing when she rests).
2.5 months – finally able to take her in the car for a bit.
almost 3 months – new skills… these hands do something!
3 months – being adorable.
3.5 months – fitting into the one baby thing we had in the house during the remodel finally.
4 months – loving handknits.
4.5 months – swimming!
5 months – visiting friends.
6 months – bouncing
6.25 months – enjoying the porch.
7 months – first plane ride, Alaska! and
first time swinging, loves it!
7.25 months – first solids, takes a long while to catch on to this weird stuff, until now it had been all milky all the time (and it still is)!
7.5 months – first time at the fair.
8.5 months – handling the little cup like a pro.
9 months – at Kathy’s pumpkin patch.
9.25 months – pissed at the TSA third flight (and 4th, 5th, 6th…) to Vermont to visit Ceara!
9.75 months – Halloween.
10.25 months – watching the big girls swing with grandma.
almost 11 months – flights 7 and 8 to Hawaii and back. First hike (though I did most of the work…)
11.5 months – “talking” to mama on Christmas morning
1 year old!!! Party – details to come.
How fast it goes indeed.
Celebrating crafts, kids and the everyday through photographs.

I so wanted to have a post up for you today about my birthday girl, but all I can muster is an iPhone update. Bj and I have been sick since three in the morning. I haven’t thrown up in years and it’s as bad as I remember. At least tutu didn’t want the chicken last night, smart girl. All of you who were vomiting through their pregnancies, my hats are off to you! I feel a bit of a Pansy for complaining about an upset stomach. Anyway hopefully a real update tomorrow.

Wow, 1,000 posts. I’ve been blogging for a while and I guess I had a lot to say, you know mainly about myself 🙂 So in case you haven’t been reading from the beginning here is what has happened so far (also known as my blog’s greatest hits):
I lived in Corvallis, was dating Bj (and had been for a 3.5 years already) and starting up The Ribbon Jar. Lots of my friends got married. Bj got a real job in the city and I moved home with my mom and Bill. I bought a house. I got a god-daughter. I got engaged. I was made up to look like a Mexican soap opera star.
I got married to my sweet love.
20 days later his dad died and we moved Grandpa up to live near us.
I found Bj the best shirt ever (which he has worn to pieces so if you see another let me know). We drove the Alaskan Highway.
I stayed in a tree house. I started doing a few “professional” photoshoots. We went to Hawaii again (mmm sun). I finished an epic project.
I got pregnant (I told you later, but I found out this day after six months of trying).
Then grandpa fell and he didn’t get better. He passed away, it was so sad that it is still lingering. I did lots of baby projects and when Tuesday came happiness was everywhere, and sleep nowhere. I nursed Tuesday a lot and used that time to knit alot. Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday…. We went to the coast, I canned like a mad woman, we went to Alaska.
Tuesday and I set out on solo adventures, first to Vermont. And then Hawaii for a dear friend’s wedding.
Along the way I ditched Elmer, made lots of chowder, bought lots of old stuff, dabbled in beading, knitting,
spinning, dying and scrapbooking. I got a new camera, then another, then went to a photography course. I did a ton of work on my cottage.
Then decided to do more. I made friends that I’ll love forever. And I focused on the positive. And you know what? Life is awesome. It really is.
Along they way you lovely people have left me over 5,700 comments and I have met some awesome people through them. Actually looking back on my blog I pretty much haven’t changed anything. I still talk mostly about myself, people I know, places I go and my crafty endeavors. I don’t have sponsors (or even really know what sponsors do, do they pay you or just give you stuff to give away?), I don’t have a book deal or an etsy site. I just have my little blog and I love it and I’m so glad you do too!
So I thought it would be fun to do a little give away. When I told Bj my idea to give away a BOX OF AMBER. He mentioned that it should be a pallet. Hmm, well I do have a lot of craft stuff. But a box it is. I am going to put in all the little types of crafty things I LOVE. Like fiber, and paper and yarn and yumminess. So please leave me a comment and I’ll enter you to win it. Then when you do (because someone has to) I’ll contact you and find out what kind of crafty you are and tailor it to you!!! So leave a comment before I mean BY Monday January 11th please if you want to be in on the fun!
