My Internets Came Back!

Wellllll... my company is finally gone and my house is quiet once more. I've been without internet for two days, and though I do like my house just fine, being here sans computer was making me crazy! Now that I have you back, dear internets, I'm happy as a clam on this cold, rainy day.


We had such a good time with our friends. They got back into their town at 3:30 this morning, and my sweet Christin left for work at 4:20. Talk about a tired girl...

I have something new to show you. Luckily, I got it made and photographed before the rain came, because it has been storming ever since.


Yep, it's a snail brooch. :D I'm planning to make these in a few different patterns and colors, so let me know what you think, and more importantly, let me know if you have any color/pattern suggestions. Have a lovely night, I'm off to eat some veggie chili with my family and watch the Office. xoxo Katie

Pit Stop.

Sorry. I am not purposefully neglecting you. My company leaves Wednesday morning and I'll be getting back to my regular schedule. I love, love, love having these house guests. They are the most wonderful friends, and are so good about reminding me of what's really important. My heart feels full... :)

We took a trip to the castle the other day. It's funny how something like this is right around the block and you never remember to visit.

In other news, Rebecca had a lovely birthday. I made this for her:


She is wearing an apron because Rebecca has become quite the baker and excellent cook. Her sweetie got her the most gorgeous yellow Kitchenaid mixer for her bday. It is so pretty!

That is all for tonight. Must wake up earlyish for tennis in the morning. Sleep well, lovely friends. <3 Katie

The Finer Things in Life

I have some friends in from PA, so my blogging may be a bit sparse for the next few days. We will be enjoying lots of teas + talks, homemade pies, music (playing and on vinyl), and Wiffle Ball! I'm so excited they are here. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Winner Time!

Rebecca did her random pick tonight (I love when the fates of all non-winners don't rest on my shoulders). I know you are wondering who won, and while I was pulling for all of you (maybe a little, very, especially much for Karey and/or Mathyld), randomness has spoken and has declared the winner:


...which I am still thrilled about, btw. Congrats, Melissa! Send your address over to skunkboycreatures@yahoo.com. Nighty night, everyone!
