Chris took me out for an amazing dinner, and brought me beautiful flowers for our anniversary today… I had to photograph :) What a great day!

Chris and I got married last year on this day. This is a painting I did of one of our photos. The following are some more of my favorite pictures of that beautiful day.

Chris asked me this evening what I was doing exactly one year ago. The answer was- picking out the song that would be playing when I walked down the aisle. Yes… I did pick most of my wedding music the evening before we got married :) What can you say- I planned my wedding during […]

Well, my hours of crocheting paid off today. Poor Chris followed me around Joanne’s fabric store for more than an hour as I filled my cart to overflowing with fabrics and thread. I bought this beautiful, completely adjustable dress form. I know I will get a lot of use out of it. I also […]

Before my mother became a teacher, she used to sew a lot. She would buy patterns and make her clothes when she was still in high school. She married at eighteen and made her wedding dress, and her several bridesmade’s dresses too, I believe. When she had us kids, she made clothes for us and […]

This is the beautiful sweater that was on my Christmas list this year… Thanks mom and dad :)
Today was a pretty normal day… Grocery shopping, then laundry. I made a set of grey gloves while watching He-man for the first time ever. Apparently Chris watched it all the time as a kid, and his parents […]

…was so good. We enjoyed not having hectic schedules or having to travel in treacherous weather. We had a lazy day and loved it. I didn’t even cook. I heated up some lasagna that I made yesterday. We opened gifts (maybe or maybe not last night :) phoned family and hung out for the rest […]

Yey! My gloves were on the home page of Etsy this afternoon! And I made a sale too… They have drastically slowed down since about a week ago. I raised all the prices on my wrist gloves so I could catch up with my other orders. It’s nice to know people still think they’re worth […]

I am so excited about these tags! I ordered a thousand of them from an online company called Linx. I think they did a great job. I’m still not too sure what is the best way is to sew them on though. This part of the wrist glove stretches as it is worn, so I […]

There is nothing like a hot cup of homemade cafe mocha on a chilly winter afternoon. It’s supposed to snow this afternoon, and I really hope it does. I can’t believe there is only two days left until Christmas! I think this is one of the first times in all of history that I’ve been […]
