This is a Valentine’s Day snowflake that I made last year. Now that you know how to make snowflakes with messages in them, you can make some this year too!
Also, don’t forget about the templates I have for these Valentine’s Day papercuts.
I’ve been knitting a ton but I still only have little pictures to show [...]

I finished 3 sweaters in the month of January! One for Mike, one for my mom and the most recent one is for me! I really like it and have worn it a few times but don’t have any good pictures to show you yet. Here’s a little glimpse. The yarn is Blue Moon Fiber [...]

I had a birthday and Washington threw a big party! It was for Obama, I know but it was fun to celebrate with the rest of the country. Whether you voted for him or not, weren’t you at least a little glad to see someone without the Bush name take the office?
I like this picture [...]

You do not know how happy it makes me to be done with this sweater!

I love making paper snowflakes and was excited to learn a fancy new (to me) technique from a co-worker 2 Christmases ago. She and I made so many snowflakes that year (while we should have been working) that I actually got sore spots on my thumb and finger from the scissors!
These snowflakes have words in [...]

I made peppermint marshmallows last night and they turned out better than I even imagined! Dense but light at the same time, squishy and chewy and so much better than those at the store! I read a lot of different recipes and blog posts about marshmallow making and I want to put all the good [...]

In the last week we’ve had snow and ice and lots of overreacting byt weather forcasters but this weekend the storm really came! We have about a foot of snow and it’s still coming down. This is Portland, people! We usually get a little snow and some ice but this is nuts. The first [...]

Last I updated, I was on my way to L.A. for a sunny Thanksgiving. It rained a tiny bit but we still had more sun than if we’d stayed home.
We came back and made the trek to Mt. Hood to pluck our tree out of the wilderness. It was a gorgeous day and [...]
