1988
We’ve sort of settled into a routine here so I got the chance to do some decluttering. Stuff breeds stuff in our little apartment. Sometimes I look around and it looks like something has exploded all over! I try to keep all my craft stuff in the office on my side of the room, but [...]

100
Hey look, 100 posts! I had grand plans for a great giveaway, but after searching around, I couldn’t really find anything gift-worthy around here. Oh well. I’ll have to think of something good for number 200. It doesn’t help that my machine is still in the shop. I hate not having it!!
So I really can’t [...]

Heh heh my pitiful attempt at artistic photography. Guess it’s best left up to the professionals, huh? I think it would help if I actually read the camera manual…

free yarn
Remember this project? Well I never did progress any further than I had when this picture was taken. I knew deep down this would never ever get finished so it’s long gone–frogged. Anyone want the yarn? I’ll send it to the first person who comments that they want it. Free shipping, free yarn! It is [...]

Here’s a little project I’ve been working on for a long time. It took so long because the diapers are never clean all at once so I had to do just a few at a time. So it took a few weeks, but here they are!

Here we go, I bought some buttons and sewed up the seams. Whew, just in time because it fits just perfect. Why do they have to get so big so fast? E-chan is growing every day and it seems like time is just flying by. We’re trying to soak up all the newborn moments while [...]

Don’t you just love getting mail? I LOVE mail. Sometimes I order stuff online that I could normally get in the store just so it comes in the mail. My crafty friend Carrie just made my day when these lovely HANDMADE gifts came in the mail. Is there nothing nicer in this world? Just the [...]

I think with my first baby I stayed holed up at home for the first few weeks. I remember finally making it out of the house (it seriously was a huge ordeal) to go to a new mom’s group at the birth center. When I got there, the doors were locked and there was no [...]

placenta
After getting the placenta home safely, I started the dehydration process. I ordered a kit here and it was great to have everything I needed, including the capsule making machine. I won’t write out the directions because that would ruin things for the people who make the kits, but here are some pictures. You can [...]

birth story
We spent Saturday hanging around the apartment, doing last minute cleaning. I cleaned the kitchen and even organized the cabinets, guess that was all it took! I was having contractions all day long, but that was nothing new since it seemed that was the drill for the past week. Maybe I just needed to give [...]
