Quilts, Mics, and Sausages: What I’ve Been Up To

Aside from wallowing in my own postponed Winter blues, I have been spending the last few weeks getting accustomed to my new surroundings here at Casa de Leonard.  The Leonards were more than generous with their space, giving Scott and I not only our own bedroom, but an entire room to use as my office/workshop, [...]

Survivor – Craft Room

So when we leave for China, we’ll have 3 suitcases in which to pack nearly everything we need. These suitcases need to hold clothing, shoes, and essential supplies (like toothpaste, deodorant, tampons, and other things we’ve been advised not to buy in China).

It All Started With a Haircut

Written Monday afternoon, March 16… It is amazing how making one small change can impact your life.  By doing one little thing that you were afraid to do, you can start a domino effect. Before you know it, you could find yourself on the opposite side of the world. Scott got his hair cut on [...]

Something You Did When A Child That You Will Always Remember

This is my monthly contribution to the EtsyBlogger's Blog Carnival. Due to my having a destructively rebellious nature it is REALLY hard for me to participate in these. I have no good reason to balk, but being given a subject to write about seems to block up my brain. For those of you who know [...]

Mary & Melissa’s Guide to Life

My B.F.F., Melissa G. and I had this green notebook covered in stickers and graffiti that we treasured during most of Middle School and High School. It was called "Mary & Melissa's Guide to Life" and every time we had some kind of ground-breaking brilliant notion, we'd write it down in this notebook. We also [...]
