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.

These are some great finds from thrift stores!

Buttons and needles!

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!

I am still out here , i have just finished this jacket Butterick 5187, the cafe apron from Doodles Stitching and here is a pillow my son made!  i think it looks great!  it was just snowing outside and i am trying not to think about the fact that it is April! 

i will try again to add to a blog  about life, love of craft, cooking and family.

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.

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.

well i am still here, cannot believe it has been that long since i last wrote but believe me i have been busy. we have moved to a house finally. i am still getting settled as are my company but we made it. We bought a house and are now living here permanently. never again will i move. ok maybe not until the next time – 5 years hopefully. it is amazing how much stuff a person has!

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!
