Someday I’ll write a real post in which I tell you about things, but for now, some photos to fill space. My latest craft projects. My boy finished culinary school! Other than an online required computer course this spring, he’s … Continue reading →

Craftastic

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Shannon

I don’t want to talk about boobs for a minute, and since there’s not much else going on in my life, I thought I’d show off some of recent crafty work. I like to do this once in awhile because … Continue reading →

Craft update

Posted on December 31, 2009 by Shannon

A little craft update since I can’t sleep (again). As you know, my nephew Brady was born a couple weeks ago, and I embroidered his name on a (decorative, not functional) bib. I’ve done this for many of the special … Continue reading →

Things that have been going on: 1. Brad and I tried a new Mexican restaurant last Friday, one we’ve been wanting to go to for awhile. One that’s famous for its wet burritos. I ordered a shredded beef wet burrito, … Continue reading →

Optimus Prime is such a great name

Posted on July 5, 2007 by Shannon

Didn’t do much for the Fourth. Fireworks were Tuesday night, and since we conveniently live about two feet from where the show was, we avoided all traffic and parking issues by walking. We arrived about 20 minutes before showtime and … Continue reading →

Pillow sham

Posted on May 15, 2007 by Shannon

When I started this project I wasn’t even sure what a pillow sham was; I had to look it up. Then I had to look up a pattern for making one, which turned out to be pretty worthless actually, so … Continue reading →

A serious waste of brain activity

Posted on October 25, 2006 by Shannon

Yesterday somebody asked me what I like to watch on tv. Um… yeah. I thought fast to come up with something I watch that isn’t completely laughable, a show that isn’t totally mindless, maybe even a little bit respectable. “The Office?” I … Continue reading →

Halloween

All I have to say is… Next year, I’m so doing geometric shapes: I was trying to create Mario using nothing but an oversized and very malleable pumpkin carver. I was fine until I got to his eyes. The left … Continue reading →
