I am a stay-at-home mom of two and a wife of 11 years. G-Bunny is 8.5 and T-Man is 7. My hubby works for a well-known retailer and we live in the Pacific Northwest. We spent 3 years in Juneau, Alaska (from Summer 2004 to Summer 2007) and loved it.
I have been blogging for about five years, although just recently moved over here. This is a place for me to keep track of all the things that happen in my little corner of the world.
I love my camera (Canon Rebel xTi) and have lots of photos I like to share. I usually type up the story behind the photos here, but there is always more through my Flickr link. I try to title all of them with pieces of the story.
We started on our Home School adventure this year. So far, things have been very mellow. We are taking an unschooling approach right now, to detox from being spoon-fed information for 7-hours a day and to let us all adjust to being home all the time together. I plan to jump into a more structured format after the first of the year. Our kids have enjoyed finding a learning experience everywhere we go and our family has never been closer.
I try to make time for all of the hobbies I like to do, but find I can’t fit it all in. You will see mostly knitting projects on the blog right now, in addition to all the photos. I also quilt, scrapbook, rubber stamp and make handmade cards. I started out with cross-stitch when I was in high school. That led into scrapbooking about 10 years ago. I started quilting about the same time. I dabble in both when the inspiration strikes. Scrapbooking led me into rubber stamps and making my own greeting cards, which I was busy with when we lived in Alaska because I had friends that got together. I taught myself to knit the first winter we were in Alaska because it was easy to take to take with me wherever I went. It continues to be my chosen craft most days and I have to admit I’m in love with making socks.
I’m sure there are a ton of things I am missing – If you have a question for me, please leave me a comment!
