After!
The cupcake didn’t make it home without needing a little glue gun surgery. Had it shipshape in no time.
My new cappucino mug holds 2 cups of coffee, which makes me very happy.
Happy New Year
To start a new year, I bring you my Christmas gift to my family. The artist is Chris Haberman. We each filled out a commission questionnaire and submitted a photo. The genesis of this idea can be laid at the door of my dear Grandma Rosie. My paternal grandparents had caricatures painted of them and [...]
Alert!
Pix is having an Easter Egg hunt! Now that I have your attention…I’m back. For how long, who knows? I’m not juggling so much coursework, but life doesn’t seem to be slowing down much. I am over on Facebook more regularly, but I miss blogging so I shall give it a go…again. WKD shows up [...]
i’m gonna catch you – you’d better run
My family and I headed out to the mall together for the first time in years (yes, it’s that hot) and by some weird twist of fate, found ourselves at the Apple store. Well, put us in front of a Mac, and you’d better watch out, because we found the video for “I’m Gonna Catch [...]

such small hands
As part of her preparation for first communion, Pumpkin helped bake the bread that was to be used at the service. Our church observes first communion at the Maundy Thursday service following a Passover seder. She seemed to enjoy every part of the experience, particularly hopping on up to the rail at Easter to take [...]
2009
The goals…in all their glory! 1. Knit a sweater for my husband. It’s his turn. 2. Steek something . On it. 3. Really steek something. Time to break out the EZ books. 4. Keep the stash under control. There is no danger of a worldwide wool shortage, and stocking up is rarely required. My theme [...]
I swear I do not make this up
Parent: “What did you learn at school today?” Child #1: “Trust no one.” Later that day… Child #2: ( upon discovering the new HP All-in-One printer, newly installed) ” Great! Now I can scan my butt and send it to my friends!” I’ll leave it to you to figure out which child matches which comment. [...]
