Folks who live in New England tend to fall easily into seasonal crankiness. When it is hot in the summer, it is too hot and in the winter, after the first snow storm, suddenly it is the longest, most horrible winter ever. I think we are all collectively happy for about twenty minutes in the [...]

I signed up for a woodworking class that starts in February. It is through the adult education program in my cute little city. Eight weeks of learning how to build things! I’m hoping to learn how to make furniture and get over my fear of power tools. I am so excited. Do you want to [...]

For 2012, I thought it might be fun to branch out a bit from the furniture and pictures of my house. If for no other reason that perhaps you all might be getting sick of looking at pictures of my house and it certainly takes some of the pressure off to be doing new projects all [...]

To signify the end of a really challenging year for us, Justin and I debated wildly over where we could go to celebrate New Years. We decided to take the Orient Point Ferry from New London, Connecticut over to Long Island. We packed up the car with our two fuzzy friends, Piper and Neuman [...]
Redefining the Meal

We are normally big New Years Resolution people. Justin usually stiff arms me into doing something dramatic, like giving up pizza or burgers for an entire year. He believes that a resolution should be significant, disciplined and a reminder of how lucky we are, by giving up something that we really enjoy. It is kind [...]

The span of time in between when the kitchen was finished enough for us to start putting our belongings back and when we were expecting about 35+ of our local friends and family for our annual Festivus Party was four evenings (after work) long.

I’ve talked about Pinterest before, but I didn’t fully start to take advantage of it until this fall. If I were pressed to name the most helpful internet app in existence for folks like myself, who love crafting, clothes, design, food, etc. etc, it would definitely be Pinterest. It is a total game changer. Pinterest [...]

The month of December can be a tricky time in our two religion home. As it is, Christmas now starts right after Halloween.

It’s done, folks. All done. I’ve been cooking and baking up a storm. I can’t help it. The room calls to me and I’m helpless against the cool, gray counter tops, or sitting on the pergo floor feeding the puppies treats. When we were putting our stuff back, we kept the basic set up [...]
