The beginning of 2010 seems so far behind me and yet the year feels like it’s gone so fast. Most of the time I don’t tend to think much about what has gone before, instead I think more about the future, be it near or far. When I came to write this post I was… Read more »

Christmas Gifts 2010, Given and Recieved
Given I made a lot of gifts this year and I am so pleased I did. I think there is something so rewarding about making something you know a person with love. And I know I love receiving handmade things, so hopefully my family does too! Needle Books – pattern by em ay key ee… Read more »
In Pictures: Christmas Day 2010
Finally, here are a few shots from Christmas Day, mostly of the kiddos and during the morning. By the afternoon I was pretty exhausted so photo-taking was at a minimum by then (because I’m pretty much the only one that takes photos around here, haha). Nephew and brother-in-law. He was so excited. My niece was… Read more »
The Aftermath
Yep, The Aftermath of Christmas is here! What that means is I feel permanently stuffed full of food but I feel obliged to continue having meals in order not to waste leftovers. Especially the sweet stuff. It would seem so sad to let the lemon tart I made go to waste! Yesterday was great, but… Read more »

This particular gift was from my boyfriend during our stay in Te Aroha last month. It was from a local thrift store and cost… Read more »

Another happy, and very warm, Monday! But honestly, if it’s this hot now I am dreading January and February, unless the months are doing a switch and they turn out to be cooler. But in all seriousness, last night at 10pm I was still boiling (and sweating) from the heat and humidity, and it had… Read more »
10 Good Things
Please note, this post was written last Monday, but due to unfortunate human error it turns out it was never actually posted. I wasn’t even that tired last Monday… Gingerbread frappuccino. I am a shameless Starbucks addict. Finding new blogs! For example, srslyliz, katieebee, and print&pattern. Successful Christmas shopping, as opposed to aimlessly wandering around… Read more »

Puppy Update
It’s been a couple of weeks since my post introducing our puppy, Missy. She’s doing very well, has put on weight (she was slightly underweight) and isn’t taking quite as long to eat. She’s also learning commands fairly easily and aside from the usual puppy naughtiness (i.e., running off with shoes and trying to play… Read more »
