Hi!

  Hi! Did you miss me? I haven’t written since February because I had a baby (more on that later) and have been rather busy since then. I wrote a whole post shortly after giving birth on what the experience was like but haven’t decided yet if I’m going to put it up, since I [...]

Things I have done since last posting

- Bought a smartphone. So if you follow me on Twitter, be prepared to NEVER STOP HEARING FROM ME AGAIN. – Moved into the new bedroom in the basement. It’s awesome! Unexpectedly – well, totally expectedly, since it is semi-submerged – it’s really dark and quiet there in there in the mornings, so the first [...]

I figured it out

Today is not only the adult Hallowe’en, when those of us who are too old to trick-or-treat dress up as sexy sharks or what have you (click on the link if you don’t believe me) and go out, it is also my wedding anniversary. So you might think I have super-amazing plans for tonight. Well, [...]

I didn’t buy anything though) when I noticed the what was possibly the cutest and the saddest thing ever. The cutest: A tiny Superman onesie. The saddest: An identical pink version of [...]

First baby outfit

Earlier this month I completely cleaned out a Fabricland that was closing down, figuring I would make a bunch of baby clothes to save some money/exercise my sewing skills a little better than I did by making diapers/give myself something else to guilt-trip my future child about. And so far I have completed exactly one [...]
