Went out with baby and mamapajama today. It was a bit gray but still bright enough be annoyingly squinty. Here is how my day started, with a very disapproving baby, a truck and a camera phone. As you can see here he is squinty: I have nothing against squinty but I do have something against [...]
I hung out with baby all yesterday and he helped me not give a crap about all my old school papers. WHY do we carry that shit around with us for so long? Out of all my school sketch books I only ripped out like 20 pages worth keeping and even those were questionable. Written [...]
Summer fast aproacheth. I foresee several factors to my summer this year. One, I have an almost toddler, two, I get hot when it’s like 65 degrees out and finally, I only have two pairs of pants that fit me but about a million skirts and dress that do. You can imagine that if only [...]
I keep forgetting to write about my workout attempts. I complete the 6 weeks of morning boot camp. After which I noticed no appreciable changes except that the workouts weren’t totally killing me anymore and that was enough for me to start with. I can dash up several flights of stairs with no problem and [...]
If this seat slice wasn’t over 200 bucks I would totally buy it for Jack. As it is… I will jsut cut down a fucking tree and let him sit on that. I recall that I may have met the people who started this web site/store at a wedding a few years ago. This felt [...]
This might be blasphemy coming form an avid crafter… but I’m just not that in to Craftster. I kind of don’t get it. Maybe I’m too old? Doing it wrong? I’m not averse to going back in there and poking around. It might be that I hate forums. I hate sorting through peoples responses. I [...]
He makes his excited face in this video and I like how at one point I mutter “eggs and toast” under my breath. Just be thankful that I didn’t post the clip where I am singing my breakfast song. It goes like this: Eggs and Toast! Eggs and Toast! It’s the breakfast! We love the [...]
Oooooohhhhhh, I feel so fancy
Originally uploaded by karensh Check it. These are my madonna gloves from whenever. 4rd grade or something. I had two pairs, one were just lacy and these fluffy ones were def my favorite. If only I could find my red and black bubble skirt I would be all set [...]
I just went grocery shopping hungry. Always a shifty sort of thing to do as it could go well or it could end up in a free for all in which you get home with 40 pounds of meat and some peanut butter. Usually I want to go to the new whole fuds near my [...]
clutching to my bosom Originally uploaded by not halfway there I love this bag. It’s an OXIO computer bag and it has enough pockets to satisfy my soul 6 ways to ednesday. Also, it is orange. I’ve been buying everything in orange lately. Bright obnoxious orange. I though at first it was because I was [...]
Mr. Smock Originally uploaded by not halfway there The Mr. Smock Project is now complete. This was all Vim’s idea. First off the ikea smocks are really awesome. Way better than a bib as it catches all the cheerios and stuff in the little bottom pocket and keeps the sleeves of his outfit clean. Anyway, [...]
I have made these spats for a friend. Attributes are: exposed brass separating zipper, rubber heel guards, red flannel lining. Also, a huge glaring pattern mismatch. FUCK! As i was making them i just wasn’t thinking about because usually the spats i make are a solid color or a pattern that doesn’t really need to [...]
Why is my sewing machine doing this to me? is it the tension? all of a sudden it’s totally fucking sucking and i can’t do anything with it. 4 needles broken CAN NOT sew anything with out snarls? no tension settings work. WHAT IS IT?
bird and butterfly Originally uploaded by not halfway there What’s not to love about little fake birds?! It’s spring, yo and I am ready for it. sort of. I took this photo last year when I was planning a very complicated photo series of small animals having tea on tree branches. Nevermind that I don’t [...]
