Pictures!

My friend, Bonnie, came back in town last week and offered to take some pictures for us. She's learning how to do portrait photography, so we were more than happy to be her guinea pigs! ;)

Here are some of my favorites:

I'm resisting the urge to post all of them, cause they're so cute! :)
If you're interested though, the whole album is here.

Thanks again, Bonnie!! :D

Creative Monday is back!

Happy Monday! Sorry I missed last week. Leaving town just messes with my productivity. I'm back though, with some more smocking!

This design is called "Li'l Stinkers". Isn't it cute? It's not quite finished yet. I need to do some bullion stitches for the stem (I HATE bullions) and then the little bows on the skunks will be pink and white gingham :)

Happy Anniversary, my love!

Can you believe it's been 6 years already? :)

Here's one from a few months before we got engaged:

Creative Monday: Smocking

It's not a quick craft, but this is one of my favorite things to do.

Sitting in my rocking chair, soaking in the sunbeams, smocking away. It's just so relaxing!


Here's the finished version of the little scotties design that I was working on:

About Me

Boise, Idaho, United States
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. William Henry Channing
