  • what is my deal that i go to the trouble of washing, cropping and adding tomatoes to my salad just to eat around them?

    Maybe it's that I want another color in there?

  • still clean after one week.

    Right now: My inspiration board is uncluttered. Just a calendar to stay on track and a few fun photos. Every supply has a place. My projects are pretty planned out and I have specific techniques and tools I have to use each day. I would think this would hinder the make-stuff-process, but instead it is…

  • hmmmmm.

    Oofta. What a week. I wish I could say I am busy doing cool projects or at least doing SOMETHING – but instead I am drifting on a case of the Blahs. Not to be confused with the Blaha's. Paul is charting a course through his final year of rotations for Fall 09 – Spring…

  • christmas traditions.

    I started thinking yesterday about what I remember about Christmas. Christmas seems to be the most highly anticipated and tradition heavy of all the holidays. I remember: seeing all of the same decorations come back every year candlelight nights as a family Christmas morning drills (Yes, that would be PRACTICING for Christmas morning) getting pajamas…
