The dreamcatcher is done!

My dreamcatcher is now finished. :) This website was what I used as a guide for making the dreamcatcher. It did not call for ivy, but instead of go out and buy yet more supplies for Jeff's present, I wanted to try and be a bit more resourceful. We have a TON of ivy growing around our hedges, and right now most of it is pretty soft and pliable, so finding a good, long piece to use was ...

details, details! (and photos!)

At last, I am getting around to a recap. I warn you, though, it is probably going to be pretty long . So, yesterday. I only had two errands I was planning to run: go to the store, for lunch, and go to the CHP office, to get the car seat base installed. I ended up running to both the Coop and Wildberries in Arcata, and also to four thrift stores in Arcata. so I did a hell of a lot of running ...

An Illustrated Version of My Weekend

Ugh. I am having a very challenging evening. this heartburn that started bugging me earlier in the day has gotten worse and worse, and now it's making me feel very tired and depressed. Plus Irene is in the mood to jab her legs up under my ribs and it is leaving me very sore and tired. I just feel like I can't function at all right n ow. Maybe it's just time to go to bed. I thought I'd do a recap ...

Ultrasound at Mad River Hospital, 10/08/09

Here's my baby girl, dated at 33 weeks and 4 days by the ultrasound measurements. The technician told us that the machine usually dates within 1-2 weeks of "accuracy," so if you think about it, that would put me pretty much still on target......*sigh* medically speaking. As far as my intuition goes, Irene is perfect! Based on the measurements taken of her head, chest, and legs, she may be 4 ...

Dinner with the Hayes' family, 9/6/09

just wanted to share my (very few) pictures from dinner. I goofed, though, and forgot to document both Jeff's garlic bread and the bean dip. it looked so pretty, too :\ This is the I Am Divine soup, still in the blender, plus the zucchini/parsnip noodles and some serving bowls. A close-up of a bowl of the soup, which I made this morning. This is the I Am Lovely dish, before I put ...

The fog is looking really pretty over Cutten this morning. I just have a few more recent photos I'd like to share--nothing special. My favorite one, is This one. Why? because this is a pair of aqua shoes, size 6 , that I found by the Discovery Shop dumpster two days ago! I was just telling Eleanor when she was here, and Jeff the other day, too, that I wanted a pair of these so I ...

An illustrated account of last Sunday

Last Sunday Jeff wanted to go out to the cabin to go fishing, and since I couldn't go with him to his fishing spot he suggested I invite someone to come hang out at the orchard with me. So I called up Ashley and we made plans to meet up at the cabin. I only took a few photos, but hopefully they will offer a bit of nice illustration. A view of Ashley following us in the Elantra to Jeff's ...

It's a.......

Girl! Irene Jean is the tentative name for now. It was originally Irene May, which is apparently Grandma Irene's full name! But Jeff was thinking about giving his grandma's name as the middle name, which I think is uber sweet. So it would be a combo of our grandma's names. :) According to the ultrasound measurements, I am dated still at the exact same time I'm going with based on my last ...

work! play! be!

The free boxes have been treating me awfully well lately. I picked up like 15 things in the last week from two boxes in my neighborhood, including another cutesy-poo, strapless polka dot dress yesterday. whatever else I grabbed I may be able to sell, too! Man, I slept hard last night! I think I got just barely 8 hours, but they were good, uninterrupted hours. JoAnn kept me occupied for almost...
