an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
I will be documenting Ellerie's second year by photographing some mama and baby favorites each month.
This is what Elise and Ellerie are doing in September 2014.
WATCHING : the final season of Sons of Anarchy | everything Elmo on Youtube.
READING : The Big Tiny | Alphablock
WORKING : on a new quilt | on teethbrushing
WEARING : new rainbows | chambray sandals
DRINKING : black coffee | from a straw
So cool. There is a documentary on Netflix (I think it’s called “Tiny”) all about people building tiny homes, that reminds me of your book choice.

I’m reading The Big Tiny too! My husband and I are actually planning our own tiny house, and hope that it will be done by the end of next summer or fall. I’m just getting into writing about it on my blog, and I’ve been reading as much as I can about them. Tammy Strobel’s book, You Can Buy Happiness, is great too.

We bought plans for a 14×24 home almost 10 years ago but it has not yet come to fruition. I’m dragging my feet. Where would all my crafty stuff go?!
What are your thoughts on SOA so far?

OMG ELISE! Have you heard of the “Elmo Calls” app for iPad?! IT IS SO GREAT!
It’s $1.99 and well worth every penny. We’ve had it for two years and the kids STILL love it.
When you open the app you have a handful of options/phone calls to choose from. Once you select one the default iRing (is that what it’s called?) starts playing and turns the screen into a kid version of Facetime. When they (or you) slide to answer, Elmo pops up on screen and has an entire (pre-recorded) conversation with little E, all the while with her picture down in the bottom like a REAL Facetime call.
You have to try it out if she’s super into Elmo: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elmo-calls/id467703220?mt=8

I read an article about the woman who wrote The Big Tiny. It was super inspiring – you’ll have to do a book report soon and include this one.
