Pantry Door
I bought this awesome over the door Rubbermaid shelf thing for our pantry. Slight problem, the door wouldn’t close! So after a lot of yelling at the door and putting in these fancy “hollow core door” brackets we got it up. Yes, all of those ramen’s are facing the same way, Mike’s a little OCD […]
It is time to organize
Some days I find it increasingly difficult to work because I just want to go home and organize and clean my house. More specifically, I want to go home and label everything. So tonight, as I sit late in my office, waiting to go to a meeting, I emailed Mike, my annoyingly-neat soon-to-be-husband, that I […]
When you can’t find a pattern, make it up
I’ve been itching to make these bootcuffs I found for my new boots. But, I tried the pattern this weekend and frankly, I don’t like the cables and they are far too big for me. The cables are huge and squirrely, not tight and knotted looking like I like. So I’m determined to create my very own […]

My Craft Room
I get a lot of compliments on my craft room (thanks friends!), so I decided to blog about it. I’m lucky enough to have a room all to myself where I can be creative make all sorts of things. It also serves as my office and my desk and I had a long stint of togetherness when […]

I’ve already started this one, in a turquoise color. I shortened it by a 20 cast on stitches because Sue has a small head and I’m […]
Crockpot Round-Up
That’s one cute and cuddly dog! It is snowing like crazy outside and I’m surrounded by my dog wrapped in a blanket on my legs and the cat curled up by my side. This is also known as crockpot weather! Here is a list of a bunch of crockpot recipes I’ve been itching to try! […]
I love this girl’s style
Yes, I was the creepy girl on the bus the other day taking pictures of some stranger. But, oh my goodness, this girl had great style. Her boots socks had little charms on the back and the chambray dress was beyond cute. So, yes, I snapped a picture and yes, that’s creepy! But I wanted […]
