 Ever since Christmas I have been trying to be very responsible in choosing my craft projects. I knew I needed to finish up some ufo’s (Isn’t knitting language great? For the uninitiated UFO stands for UnFinished Object), and start working on birthday presents for the year so I could get them out of the way [...]

I’m hoping to get another renga started soon. I’m also hoping to have a smidge more participation than last time. (Well, I can dream, right? ) In light of that, I was curious as to the reasons people have for avoiding the renga.

So, yesterday we went out shooting. One last post-Thanksgiving shoot at this family’s house before they move to Tennessee. Unfortunately I neglected to double-check that I had my camera, so I didn’t get any pictures, but there are a few here.
After the shooting was winding down I commented on the pretty Christmas colors of [...]

Theresa mentioned on her blog that she’s starting a new writing curriculum with the children. I’m sitting in on the exercises (hup, two, three… no wait, wrong kind of exercises), the first one of which was to fill out a questionnaire about writing preferences and write a vignette about someone.

So I mentioned this road trip I am privileged enough to be venturing on. What I didn’t mention is that it has come at possibly the worst possible moment. Our family is in crunch time to publish a role-playing game Seth has written. This means that Crystal has been spending most of most days in [...]
