Kindle cover {Foto Friday}

Today, while the kids were sleeping… well Noah was napping Abby was awake… and in between visits to the candy bowl (this is why I hate having chocolate/candy in the house!), I decided to finally sew a cover for my precious Kindle. I seriously love that thing and have been reading so much more since Ray gave it to me as an early birthday gift a few week ago. I saw a tutorial for a Kindle cover on Chica and Jo, but didn’t like how it opened to the top. I wanted to make one that opened up like a book, so I used that tutorial as inspiration and modified it to fit my needs… and I am sooooo happy with the way it turned out!

New Years Resolution- Crafts

I tend to get a severe case of craft procrastination (not that I ever, ever procrastinate about anything else! ha!). I will start a project and then for one reason or another will not finish it.

My Monday Musings

Just a quick post before the day starts (I’m actually writing this Sunday night, but shhhhh don’t tell!). I’m pretty much done with my Christmas shopping, but I still have a lot to do before Thursday.

I still haven’t sent out my Christmas cards – I made up some photo cards on Friday, but have to have them printed and sent out today… talk about last minute!! I know that for the German family they will be more like New Years cards, but its the thought that counts right?

The older I get the more annoyed I get with lousy drivers… I’m not the worlds greatest driver by any means, but is it too hard to use a turn signal? Do you have to cut your left turn so tight that you almost hit me or so that I can’t make a right turn

Blah, Blah, Blah ugh…..

It’s only 9 am and already I can feel it’s going to be one of those days. You know the kind… the one where you wish you had stayed in bed. Last night wasn’t too bad. I think Noah is still a little wiped from his vaccinations on Monday. He ended up waking once at

So much to try…..

Hello my name is Michaela and I am a dabbler. If you were to ask me how long I’ve been this way…. well, I don’t think that I could give you an answer to that. Sewing, Cross-Stitching, Crafting, Knitting, Computers… you name it I’ve probably tried it at least once or twice. I’ll start a

Changes

In an effort to keep my brain active these last few weeks of my maternity leave, I have added one more “craft” to the list… Creating backgrounds for my blogs. I found some “blog secrets” on a great site – in fact the background to my other blog came from there. One of the secrets
