Holiday Inspiration
| November 17, 2011 | Posted by Kate under crafts, hearthcraft, holidays, home, sewing |
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
New Bathroom
| March 10, 2011 | Posted by Kate under dog, home |
So, the first in a series of photos showing off the new house as it becomes more put-together and less filled with boxes and crap all over the floors. First up, the upstairs bathroom. I don’t have a ‘master’ bath, but this is right next to the ‘master’ bedroom, so I’ve claimed it as my… 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
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
Holiday Crafting
| November 29, 2010 | Posted by Kate under crafts, hearthcraft, holidays, home, photography, quilting, sewing |
I started this quilt about a year ago, finishing up one embroidered panel before I quit for the spring and summer. Now I’m back at it, starting on panel 2! 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
A little weekend (in)activity…

Lately, you can just call me Lazy Sue. Or lazy Kate, I should say. Lazy Sue was the name of one of my chickens, back when I had them, and she was pretty lazy. Of course, she was blinded by her own feathers, and I have to say, that’d make me lazy too. It wasn’t… more
The Sims 3: a giant time warp…
| July 3, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft, home, randomness |
The other day, I bought The Sims 3. I haven’t played The Sims since… well, The Sims so I missed all the Sims 2 aging stuff and better graphics and all that. The Sims 3 is basically a hundred billion times better than the original – and I wasted many many hours on that game… more
A month in the life….
| June 10, 2010 | Posted by Kate under dog, home |
It’s been a month since I’ve touched on anything here. Frankly, nothing has happened – or a lot has happened, and I have little to say on it. I feel both overwhelmed and underwhelmed all at once. But here’s a list of things that I’ve done since my last post: I’ve read several books.Included are… more
That road less traveled…
| April 9, 2010 | Posted by Kate under children, family, fostering, hearthcraft, home |
All my life – at least, since I was a teenager – I’ve wanted to be a foster parent. I’ve always intended to do this – and to adopt. Never wanted my ‘own’ kids, much to the consternation of my entire family. Saying you don’t intend to get pregnant and have a baby is not… more
State of the Condo
| March 24, 2010 | Posted by Kate under cleaning, hearthcraft, home, organizing |
This is the mess I’m facing. (Sorry for the poor photo quality – my flickr uploader distorted it, and then I had to distort it some more to shrink it again to fit in here. Hmm.) I have two days to make this space livable. Scratch that – a day and an hour in the… more
