hi there...

This year sure is flying by...it's almost July! I haven't been around too much but I'm still here. Still crafting, still busy, still...here.

June 7, 1995

There was no months of planning, no invitations sent out, no white dress or flowers, no family or friends. Just a 4 hour drive to Las Vegas, NV and 2 kids standing in front of a Justice of the Peace.

Forward 16 years and here we are... Happy Anniversary.

at work

I don't like you. I didn't like you last week, I won't like you tomorrow...don't come back to check...it won't change.

I'm very tired... I just want this to be over, more than I want to make it work.

Whoa!!

2/9/2011: So I bought a spinning wheel...one Kromski Sonata, we'll call her Mabel. Isn't she pretty!?


2/12/2011: and I "learned" to spin. Seen here at Libby's house for my first lesson! (Thank You Libby!!)


2/12/2011: Started with some practice fiber I got from FreckleFaceFibers a very long time ago!



2/13/2011: I even "tried" plying...

2/13/2011: Then I said..."enough with the practice! let me at some fiber!!" I said that...just like that. I got this fiber from Libby...she's trying her hand at dyeing and this braid didn't make the cut!
2/13/2011: and plyed...
2/18/2011: I finally got a private lesson from Sarah! niddy noddy (yes, that's a real word!) and washing.
the final product!!


So now I think I can do anything right!! I made yarn after all!! so I broke out the good stuff!!
Funky Carolina MCN in gimme gimmes!!


2/20/2011: and turned it into these!!
I can't wait to knit this up!!

Just a girl...

I'm all about freedom of expression. So this weekend when the Big D asked to dye his hair I said "it's only hair...why not!?"

"Picnik Show"

Create a free slideshow with Picnik!

Didn't realize the controversy it would cause?!
If you're shocked or awed...let me just say that he's one hair cut away from being "normal" and really IT'S JUST HAIR! (this time)

Look at me

Pattern designer! Take a look, it's on Ravelry (which you have to join, but it's free) and it Free~

Chainged

Stay...

Just the way you are...

Keeping me up at Night...

This Guy....

and this one...

Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Fair time

I have a 12 year old...and I think he is amazing. He is not shy and will try everything! how could he possibly be mine? he is head-strong and opinionated...well I guess he is mine?! This weekend at the fair he stuck his head in EVERY cut-out just so I could take his picture...he might be a bit of a ham too!

He makes me laugh...out-loud...even when I don't want to!
I hope he's making great memories...

It couldn't hurt

...today I work up with my eyes so dry I could barely open them. No, I didn't crash after a night of partying with my contacts in...although I have done that before. No, it wasn't so hot out that we fell asleep with the ceiling fan on high...although I have done that before. I think it's due to the Sjogrens. I've linked it for those of you that don't know what I'm talking about. It's basically an autoimmune disease were my white blood cells attack the moisture producing parts of my body. It is NOT life-threatening just a little uncomfortable at the moment.
What I was wondering is, does anyone out there suffer from this too? Do you know someone that does? Is there any advice or suggestions you could give me?

Summertime

The kids are on summer vacation...They have been for about a month now and this year we're trying something new.

We are going to have a summer vacation!

History/Science Museum

stay tuned...and see what else we come up with!

Camping

At El Capitan State Beach...



much fun was had by all...some more than others!

Fifteen

Happy Birthday

Today you're 12, but you know that...'cause you've been reminding me since January, when your birthday was!

It's always nice when I get to spend a nice day with the family...We drove out to the Poppy Reserve took some pretty pictures, headed north to Gorman, grabbed some dinner and drove back through the mountains enjoying the scenery!
