Product development & Christmas

E & G’s Christmas Tunics – michael miller’s Yule Christmas & Dots

Snow
It’s really early here. Hubby got up before 6 am to go into work before we get a monster snow storm. The idea is that he go in early and then come home later this morning, safely, before the snow really starts to fly. [...]

My house smells like spiced pumpkin scones!

Wow. It’s been a while since I blogged, eh? I’ve always had this problem with journaling. If I get out of the habit, it’s months before I get back to it. I must not be very committed to writing down my thoughts.
It was a busy summer. It was an even busier fall. Let’s not even [...]

Embroidered Owl Lacing Card Tutorial

My twins (according to the Montessori method of education) are in a sensitive period for learning hand crafts – sewing, knitting, etc. I’ve noticed this, too. If I happen to knit during the day, which doesn’t happen often, I will have at least one of the girls sitting in my lap with their hands under [...]

The bad thing about summer is….

It’s too freaking hot to wear socks. At least where I live. I’m sure all you gentle readers in Alaska and Iceland would disagree….but in Iowa, the summers are just too hot to warrant socks. Sure, I could bypass convention and comfort and wear them anyway, but then I would not only look stupid with [...]

Happiness is:

The love of my life being home. Sigh. He made it. They only watched the river for an hour and a half and he made it in before midnight. Not much before midnight, but still before. Of course, they had scheduled him for meetings this morning while he was out, so he got up and [...]

Trying to keep my cool

I’m trying to keep my cool. My sweet husband just called me. He’s been out of town since 6 am Friday. He drove to Ohio with a college buddy to attend the wedding of another college friend. They had to take a 3-4 hour detour because of the flooding and consequent closure of I-80. I-80 [...]

Testing…1,2,3….

First off, I would like to say that rain sucks. Flooding sucks….and frizzy pink hair is NOT a fashion statement. Speaking of frizzy pink hair, I need to have my hair cut. If you have any great ideas of how I should cut my hair, please let me know. Throw a picture in the comments [...]

Sock blanks and other mayhem

Just when I get a really good idea….someone else already has it! Oh, well. KnitPicks came out with their new sock blanks recently….just a few days after my Bond Knitting machine arrived for me to work out how to machine knit them for myself. The original plan was to offer these as a new product [...]

Dear Diary

I am having a crappy day. Sigh. I shouldn’t be having a crappy day, but I am, and it’s making it worse. It should be good because last night I got to go out with friends for some quality girl time and hubby was happily entertained the entire time I was gone. Secondly, I had [...]

Fairy Crowns and Birthday Parties

I spent all yesterday morning making fairy crowns for the girlies’ birthday party. They’re still a work in progress, but it felt good to dig around in the stash of creative detrius and make something new and different. I am very used to the idea of cultivating and using a stash. I recently organized my [...]
