Almost done!

095 Originally uploaded by Phisch Yay! I say almost because I will add more coffee stains. This photo shows what the process is like. Even if the coffee isn’t so streaky as I’d like, it’s ok…this has to be the best smelling painting ever! Near final here, just waiting to add more streaks once it’s [...]

Anna’s Butterfly Tunic

Anna’s Butterfly Tunic Originally uploaded by Phisch A picture of the finished product with the straps and all that. I think it’s harder to see the lace (?) but it does look better flat rather than modeled by a pillow. Heh. I thought I should take a photo before I wrap it up and mail [...]

Top-down sweater

Top-down sweater Originally uploaded by Phisch Hehe…dirty mirror…oops! Based on Picovoli by Grumperina, but with mods: Eyelet row plus six rows of 1×1 ribbing around the neckline, arms and hem. Originally, I did a picot there, but I didn’t like how it looked at all (popped out), so I undid it and did the ribbing. [...]

Thankful Thursday

- Thank You, Lord for the great Christian examples I see in church. It’s great to see singles, couples and kids who model godly behavior for me. You know I need that and You are so awesome to provide. – Thank You, Lord for my kids. They remind me that there’s a lot of stuff [...]

More Life With Boys

Did I mention the lizard we found in our house? I thought it was a gecko but I was wrong. It looked exactly like this one. I called NM over to see it and he said “oh wow, cool!” and the lizard did its best to scrunch itself up. Next day, J calls to me [...]

Well, let’s see. Pizza night hasn’t quite worked out. Last night, I placed the online order but the store never got it. No worries, we all got dinner at Zen instead. The kids had chicken teriyaki and rice, I had a Dashi bowl (salmon and veggies in ginger lime sauce over rice) and hubby had [...]

Thankful Thursday, a tad late

- We are getting over our colds, slowly but surely. I’m most thankful I didn’t have to deal with the pain like my hubby did. – Oh! Thank you for high pain threshold, Lord! – Thank you for great boys who are awesome and thankful in their own right. – Thanks for my nap today. [...]

Life With Boys

It’s never dull. NM fell on his bike last night. Bad thing: scrapes all on his elbow and knee. Good thing: he didn’t break anything. J just swallowed a penny. Time to see if the doc wants to see him

Anna’s Butterfly Tunic

Anna’s Butterfly Tunic Originally uploaded by Phisch Lookie! I can’t believe I’m near the end. Mojo or no mojo, I am making myself finish this off in the next couple of days. It’s being modeled by my pillow which is surrounded by clean laundry, ready to sort. Apologies for that, but I was quite excited [...]
