Today, I looked at my calendar on the wall, and realized it was still set to October, but already, it’s the 17th of November. Who stole the first half of November?! Where did it go? Why is Thanksgiving next week? How is it possible that in 2 weeks, it’ll be December 1st and I need… more
Is it December already?!
| December 15, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft, holidays, home, photography |
This month has flown by. I’ve been insanely busy, and I expect it’s not going to slow down anytime soon. On the 3rd, I went to the Festival of Trees, a little charity show put on by an organization that promotes healthy parenting skills and helps low income and at-risk parents and their children thrive.… more

A new ornament this year. A new photo for the Photo-a-Day Flickr Christmas Countdown thing I linked to yesterday. You can participate too! Just take a photo a day and upload it to this flickr group. (For anyone wanting to know, my crappy chocolate advent calendar is really crappy fake chocolate. Booooo.) more
Advent
| December 1, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft, holidays, home |
Anyone who knows me knows I love Advent. Advent is technically a Christian thing, and while I’m not Christian, I think there’s a lot to be said for anticipation and countdowns to something important. Important things like… Christmas. My favorite time of the year. There’s nothing about it I don’t like, except… more

The finished panel: And the new panel I traced: Then I finished up this languishing Santa Claus table runner, which shows off my HORRIBLE machine… more
O Towering Tree…

I made this a few days ago from a kit I bought. I have enough fabric for at least one if not two more, but it became such a pain toward the end I think I’ll wait until next year. more
Three books and a plan!
| August 27, 2010 | Posted by Kate under books, cleaning, hearthcraft, holidays, witchcraft |
I had a $25 gift card to spend for Amazon, so I spent almost two days whittling down my options to get the most bang for my buck. I finally settled on spending $32, but $7 out of pocket for 3 books is a steal! Today, I got the package, hidden cleverly under my porch… more
Midsummer Plans
| June 18, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft, holidays, witchcraft |
Midsummer (aka the Summer Solstice) is upon us come June 21st. Can you believe it? Halfway through 2010 already? Summer already? I can’t. Still reeling from the fact that easter’s already long gone. Don’t you love how time seems to move faster the longer we live? So unfair. So terribly unfair. As a child, I… more
