When Wes and I saw this house, we really fell in love with it. We did not, however, fall in love with the kitchen. In fact, we both agreed that the kitchen would be the first area of the house to see a little improvement. You might be wondering why. Well see, the previous owners [...]
Baby Surprise Jacket
No, I’m not pregnant! But many, many of my friends are and it has kicked off a season of baby knits. For the past few weeks I’ve been cranking out a cute little EZ classic!

Kiri
I realize that as of late I haven’t really been updating. I don’t know whether it’s the summer heat (for the past week we’ve been in the 110+ range with heat index) or that I’m just spending so much time engrossed in my knitting and Ravelry, that I don’t feel I have much of interest [...]

This photo is almost a week old now, and woefully inadequate, but here it is: Our cucumber plants are growing curlicue vines that are wrapping themselves around the tomato plants with a fair amount of [...]
News… now with more pictures!
In addition to working and ranting and raving over here, I’ve had some projects in the works. Although I can’t show you all of them yet (March is Birthday month for the family!) I do have a few peeks into what I’m doing that I can share. First on the list is the indoor garden. [...]

Awash in squash.
Fall is upon us (officially today!) and squash is in season. For the past few weeks we have been receiving generous portions of squash in our CSA basket. So Wes and I have been trolling recipes and experimenting. We made this one last night and it was TASTY! Sausage Stuffed Butternut Squashcourtesy of Cooks.com 1 [...]
