Yeah, so, I’d like this site to be a little more than Our Weekly Craft while I’m mired in busyness for the next eight weeks (!) so I wanted to let you know that my first post over at Craft Storage Ideas is live. It’s about trying out an ArtBin Super Satchel to store my […]
I Love My Cats, But Sometimes I Don’t Like Them Very Much
This is Louis. Louis was my baby before I had a baby. He was the cat I picked when we were visiting the litter at my sweetie’s parent’s house (or I guess you could say he picked us, because we’d decided we’d take whichever cat came to greet us, and that was Louis). But he […]
Make Your Own Chalkboards with Clear Chalkboard Coating
I haven’t been doing a lot of crafting lately, other than knitting for my book, which is going to be the way it is for the next six weeks. We’re going to get pretty far away from the goal that’s stated in the name of this blog, and I beg for your patience in that […]

Happy Birthday, Baby
The Bit is three today. Three. I can’t believe it. I know all parents say the time goes really fast, but at the same time, three years is a long time, and we’ve been through so much together already. Lots of people I know — grownups and little ones alike — have birthdays right around […]
