defining the circles that make me whole
December 3rd:: GingerbreadPosted by Alli on December 3, 2008
I finally finished our Advent Tubes, and set them up this evening. Now I’ve moved on to gingerbread. Damon and I are working on a gingerbread house for a neighborhood contest. Damon’s doing the designing, I’m doing the baking. Damon will probably do most of the assembly, but I’m open to helping. The recipe I’m [...]
Executive decisionPosted by Alli on November 25, 2008
We have a case of dueling projects that need the sewing machine. And since the project Damon is working on is actually for me, I am making the executive decision to leave my one to three sewing projects on the side and let him have at it. It is kind of freeing to decide not [...]
Creativity sucks multitaskingPosted by Alli on November 24, 2008
I used to pride myself in how awesome I am at multitasking. But it is obvious to me I am not very good at being creative and multitasking the creativity. I have one craft project going, I need to sew one to three things, and somehow I need to keep this blog going to meet [...]
Passed, Win, Score- it’s all goodPosted by Alli on November 12, 2008
This morning I conquered the orange syrup. Last time, the glucose had an unfair advantage because it was mingling with sugars already in my system. Sugars from pumpkin pie bread and pumpkin spice coffee creamer. The glucose won our last match when I had a blood sugar of 163. Today, the match started with me [...]
Cookie MonsterPosted by Alli on November 11, 2008
Today was an at-home day, with a focus on baking and laundry. The Moms Group I am involved with is undertaking a project of adopting a school/ classroom in our neighborhood. Our first effort is to provide cookies for a writing celebration they are having on Thursday. They need a lot of cookies to celebrate, [...]
DrizzledPosted by Alli on June 11, 2008
This morning in my one word meme I mentioned the last thing I did was “drizzled.” Our Moms’ Group has decided to bring food to every meeting this summer (normally this is a once a month treat). So this morning Fuller and I made these Lemon Blueberry Muffins from the Cooking Light website. The final [...]
Online Craft Club: Cape and T-shirtPosted by Alli on March 21, 2008
This entry was in progress last Friday, but I didn’t finish it before we left for the Georgia Dome. I thought I would have time to finish it before midnight. Silly me. Silly tornado. Finally, as I hoped, I have something to share for the online craft club. The kicker is, I actually have two [...]
Online Craft Club: upcoming projectPosted by Alli on March 7, 2008
I haven’t been participating in the online craft club recently because I haven’t been particularly crafty. I am sad to say my crochet has been sitting in the same place since December and while I look at yarn longingly in stores, I don’t buy because I don’t have a project stirring in my heart. But [...]
Online Craft Club: Joseph’s Coat BagPosted by Alli on February 1, 2008
Yesterday I went to a friend’s house with some other women in my church to help her with a sewing project. She had volunteered to make over 20 (I can’t remember if it was 30 or more) of these bags called Joseph’s coat. A friend of hers is the head of Agape Puppet ministry and [...]
December Photo Project: Day 24Posted by Alli on December 31, 2007
I stopped posting these because I got tired or something. On Christmas Eve most of my family took off to visit the Air Force Museum. I stayed at my parents’ house to help set up for the big Christmas Eve Dinner. Out of the list of chores my mom created, I took the task of [...]
