I decorated! I love decorating! Ok so, to be honest, I totally had most of this stuff up before Thanksgiving. Don't judge me! I get excited! There really isn't much to say other than I am super surprised and proud that Iris hasn't knocked everything down yet. Yet being the key word here. We got… Continue reading Tis’ the Season!
And then we miss one
Well, 100 without missing one means we earned a break I guess. Still I've been more busy with general housework than with actual projects so I'll just show a few of the works in progress and the other random bits I have around the desk. I've been working here and there on another paper cut.… Continue reading And then we miss one
Not yet 150 but still good.
Last week was our 100th post, which is great. With the holiday come and gone and a few house projects wrapping up I don't have a lot of images to share this week. Instead I thought I'd go over our dinner for this evening. Tonight we made Chicken with Thai peanut sauce. To follow along… Continue reading Not yet 150 but still good.

Brushes
This week I've been trying to learn how to ink with brushes. The results have been questionable, but I still thought I would share. To get to the finished product though I started with a little draft. So what if it's on the outside of an insurance bill. Paper is paper. After that I… Continue reading Brushes
S.O.S. (send over soup)
Right now I'm not feeling so great. The baby and I have a bad case of lay on the floor and watch children's educational programing. As such not much movement has been made on the house and art projects. Instead we'll reflect on the weekend past. This weekend, deep in the bowels of the Detroit… Continue reading S.O.S.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! This is first year we really got into Halloween with Iris. Since September we have been asking her what she wanted to go as and we finally agreed upon a rainbow. I looked up rainbow costumes and saw I would need to spend like 60 dollars and those costumes looked pretty straight forward… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
