Who’s this? Someone poised for a long postal journey to California . . . Bearing a little heart and a message. He even has a matching card! (He’s an owl, by the way; even though I know he looks kind of like a penguin with ears. I misjudged the shape of the face this time [...]

It’s been forever since I last posted, and the New Year has long since swooshed past. (I can’t believe it’s already the middle of January!) Nevertheless, I promised photos of the things I made at home this past Christmas, so photos it is. I didn’t have the time to do a lot of handmade gifts [...]
Post-Easter Slump

I have an alarmingly long to-do list for the next two weeks, but I haven’t been able to get very much work done since the weekend. (Hence my being up at 2:00 AM listening to Pandora and blogging). Thought I might as well post some photos of my Easter table, since I wrote about all [...]
Happy Easter!

He is Risen! I bought those daffodils at the farmer’s market yesterday and was lucky to find an empty jam jar that fit them perfectly and some blue ribbon that complimented their color well. I normally wouldn’t buy flowers just for myself, but it’s Easter, and I thought the occasion merited something special – after [...]
Long Distance Communication

. . . is really quite difficult. I posted this package to my boyfriend on Monday, and thought I was exceedingly clever because the UPS lady said it would arrive on Friday, the day before Valentine’s Day, and I thought he’d have a nice surprise in time for the 14th. Except I didn’t count on [...]
Valentine’s Day Preparations

If you remember, I posted last year about how I like to reserve most of my Valentine’s Day energies for celebrating my friendships rather than buying into all of the sugar-crazed, hyper-commercialized craziness. This year, since I’m long distance with D, I sent him a little package of homemade goodies just to mark the day [...]
Christmas ’08 Crafts

It’s a new semester, and a new year. I have two new roommates again (one of them remained the same, one changed, and we added a fourth this semester), and a new schedule of classes, as well as a bunch of new commitments (in addition to Bible Study, I’m doing a once a week Hosea [...]
Loose Ends (and Lack of Paper Progress)

My blog has had an inexplicably high number of hits today. According to my dashboard stats, it’s some sort of record. And I have no idea why (if anyone knows of any high-traffic outside links that are coming here, I’d be very curious to find out). Strangely enough, the top post appears to be my [...]
