Learning

I learned how to sew a glove and sew a zipper today. Of course I keep making the glove stitching too tight for my hand but I am getting there. I am kind of sad today I wonder if tomorrow will follow with more sadness. Is the sadness always there and I just don’t think…

Who Knew A Tea Cosy Could Be So Deadly?

First thoughts – sickness. Second thoughts – how can I sew a cosy that looks deadly? Wait a second…tea cosies can be dangerous. I guess people have tea cosy accidents at home. This is referred to as a domestic mishap. “Accident survey shows home is hazardous place” according to The Guardian in 2001. I have…

What To Forget

I wonder if we write things down in order to not forget. Or do we write things down just to write things down. How has public schooling affected me long term? I try to teach my 4 year old how to write words but who am I to tell her what is the right or…

Reader Response Theory

it is funny how things can change quickly from one small event. This morning we were making plans to go camping in Big Flat campground tomorrow after my appointment and then I found my last check stub. Now I don’t have to wait for my w2 in the mail so we can leave Jan 30th.…

Earthbag Home

I am excited that we have plans to build an earthbag home in Texas. We were going to do it in Alturas but somehow many factors pulled us away from the idea….like how hot it was at the time and we didn’t want to do the work (lol). I don’t think we saw the value…

So it seems…

Wow so this is only the second time I have gotten on here and I feel like there is just so much more going on with this website other than just typing entries.  There is a lot to this “blogging” thing.  l feel like I am spending more time trying to understand how this site…

First Blog Post

I am not sure what my intentions are with this blog. I suppose I am just simply looking for something to let my thoughts flow to. I created this about 30 minutes ago, then my baby woke up. I fed her and then she fell back asleep. As I was waiting for her to be…
