Heya

Ill show you what ive been working on soon- theyre presents and i have to give them away first have a nice monday

this week i am getting all my ducks in a row so that this weekend i can hole up and sew myself some desperately needed skirts for church and summer

all kits are shipped phew

guess what i finally put in the shop

from anthro

do you have to be obsessed with yarn and needles and hooks like i am to think that is the most inviting little space youve ever seen

and then i realized i love her so much

feeling so inspired

i swear nothing makes me happier than a peaceful space and some needles

i spent a few years calming down my teen angst and attempting to grow up i loved san luis obispo i was ready to chill there for good

where are neighborhoods like that anymore with bushes big enough to hide in and kids that go around the block together all afternoon and normal sized houses and the old winkfields next door ok i dont need the winkfields but id sure love to give my kids the rest

i had a really tumultuous teenager-hood i was a happy and smart little kid it was surprising when so much angst welled up inside me

Quilt kits finally all done

Off to the kindergarten valentine party

messes are piling up around me making it hard to relax and get well i cant cuddle grant or cate- they need to stay well- so they are steering clear of me i am bored and tired and achy

grant and i talked last fall about wanting to take control and own a home and make some of our dreams a reality so we planned to move back to california for some opportunities there

acre of land is my favorite song of his

one of my resolutions for 2009 was to stop ignoring the etsy shop and to not spin my wheels all day (these two problems are very related) i am the queen of walking in circles around the house and not really getting anything accomplished i wouldnt care except for that it drives me nuts part of the problem is my insomniatic nights which leave me only half there during the day times ( which then leads to high caffeine consumption) so i decided step one is to get good nights sleeps i am trying to change my night time routine to a peaceful herbal tea quiet inspiration seeking few hours it helps if i keep our room clean and the sheets freshly washed and calming reading more- tv less- at night is a goal then hopefully my days will be a little more with it because i hate wasting time

it made me happy

i really really need my bedroom to be simple and uncluttered and white for calming purposes you know what i mean
