I changed the name of my blog. I thought i was labeling myself or what i had to write about so i changed it because somedays i don’t feel crafty or green and that is not what i am all about just parts of it. I used 23 Teacups because my mom gave me her collection that she has had since i was little (i think they were her mom’s) and i remember her using them at luncheons back when ladies did that. I think they mostly drank coffee but that didn’t sound as good. Every cup is different and unique and beautiful. I like old things so it seemed like a good idea. I will try and photograph some too.
Other pictures! January 28, 2009

Ack! July 8, 2008
ok i am getting a little tired of critters in the house! ever since we moved to oregon i have had to get used to having no basement which seems to lead to more critters in the house. we have had mice, bugs, ants and now….
a mole
imagine my suprise when i saw this huge looking mouse with funny looking paws waddling around my laundry room. it took me a moment to figure out what the heck it was. i had to call my husband because i was freaked out! how did it get in the house and what is it doing here? i told my son about it when he got up and he asked what a mole eats. i said i thought bugs, plant roots and even mice. very logically he said well we have 2 of those in the house so maybe that is why he is here. kids are so smart! i have trapped it in the laundry room and will wait for my knight to help catch and release later on. would be cool to get a picture of it!
Still here and working hard! April 19, 2008

Where does the time go? April 5, 2007
Ok so i am trying to cut down on time on the computer so I can get more done at home. Well what I want to know is where do people find the time to get all this cool stuff done? I mean people are knitting socks, making aprons, sewing quilts and doing embroidery like crazy and I can’t seem to finish what I started a year ago! Is this common or what! I think I could sit a whole day and just make stuff but of course I can’t I have a 4 year old and a husband (he’s not 4) so now I gotta go.
Monday again February 5, 2007
I am still here, it is 2007 and i have totally ignored this blog! well i am back again. still knitting but have now started working in the garden. yeah, i know way too early to do much but stir up dirt. even that is fun after the cold.

Whiny Wednesday March 15, 2006
Sometime is feel like i am the adult to my 3 year old and sometimes i feel like i am acting the same age as him. I suppose when you are a mom you forget who is supposed to be in control. I caught myself reacting like my son to him instead of being rational! Who is the parent! I just get tired of pushing and pushing, eat your food, put your clothes on geez come on what are you 3? oh thats right he is! 
Take a deep breath and try again!
Manic Monday March 13, 2006
Ever just want to sit in bed and knit all day? Well when the temp drops for the day that is what i would like to do, but it is already 11 and i haven’t done much knitting! All this waking up, taking care of the munchkin (he is three), exercising and checking email takes time. Maybe i should get up earlier? Uh no thanks! Maybe as the days get longer. Plenty of time to knit though. I just wake up and want to knit knit knit. I think i have some sort of addiction.
