A few people have asked me what pattern I used for making doll diapers, so I thought I'd make a pattern for you to download. I just traced a diaper that came with some doll of Keely's. I used two pieces of fabric to make ours, but next time I think I'll do a more […]

Slow Life
I was clicking around Flickr looking at so many pretty shots & inspiring images, and I came across a caption that movinghands wrote. She referenced the Slow Life Movement in Japan. Now I have yet to have my hands on a Japanese craftbook or magazine so maybe that is something slathered throughout them. I […]
Smocket to me.
Had to go and try out the smocket pattern (thank you Alicia & Amy). I knew Keely would not like it, but I wanted to make it so I could see how one would come together and to see if I would like a bigger one for myself. I think I would. I have no […]
a determined penny
Yesterday, Keely got out her little bucket of pennies and was stacking them and playing with them. Then she took them on our bed and spread them out and starting jumping on them. It was fun. They slide around and cling together as she jumped. I thought, "What's the harm?" I told her just […]
big dead arm
So I get into bed under all 6 of my blankets. I'm snuggled and my spot is nice and warm after a few moments. Keely and daddy go to say goodnight to all the buddha statues around our house, which they do each night. It used to be heater vents and clocks, but now they've […]
bedroom photo shoot
It was a warm day yesterday so we went for a little walk on the beach with no coats! A small handful of beach glass was found. We came home and played with my camera in Keely's room. I'm trying to get myself in more photos. I always have liked looking at photos of my […]
A ______
A project: I used my sewing time this weekend working on the play food set, but I can't show you just yet. So, I've got nothing crafty to share. A cute kid: Making a funny expression. A three day weekend: It was quiet but nice. We ran some errands, daddy made some pizza, Mommy and […]
collecting
I've never considered myself a collector of anything until reaching full-fledged adulthood. Little and big chairs have become one of my obsessions I guess, but you all already knew that. You should see the chair garden in our attic. It's pretty funny. A big pile of nice, funky chairs with no home. I will not […]
“valentime’s” cupcakes
Cupcakes were finally made, iced, and sprinkled…and they were quickly sampled… Goopy red painted handprints were stamped… Baths were then had and someone decided it was probably time for another cupcake. She's actually licking her lips here. *I think I'd better steer away from reds and pinks for awhile. This whole blog is going all […]
in a heartbeat
When I first heard Keely's heartbeat in utero I thought is was one of the most beautiful sounds. I've heard many heartbeats before, but none were of my bitty baby. I wanted to just lay silently and listen to her all day. I called up my granny, who used to be a nurse, and asked […]
