I forgot to celebrate my 100th post.  Darn it.  Well, I kind of feel I am back where I was when I first started my blog.  We're on the move again.  Our lease is up.  We could buy the townhouse we are living in for a decent price and continue living in this un-savory neighborhood or we could move a few streets away and rent a house and have Henry got to a better school.  Or we could move to Bellevue, live in an old apartment and send Henry to a school in a great school district.  So many things to think about.  We are feeling so much pressure right now.  I like West Seattle.  I know my way around.  It's pretty.  There's lots to do.  I have met lots of nice people.  Argh.  I am curling up with another episode of Big Love Season 3.  Don't bother me. 

Christmas gift for Camden

It turned out pretty sweetly.  Very simple elastic skirt with no pattern.  Hope it fits...

DiNoSaUr turtleneck

Tweet

Found a cool dinosaur image.  Made a stencil.  Made a felt copy.  Hand-sewn to a black turtleneck.  Added a star button eye.  VOILA!  A cute gift for a 5-year-old boy's birthday... and of course, I don't want to seem like that weird auntie who knits you ugly sweaters for Christmas, we also gave said 5-year-old an Incredible Hulk Operation game.  I hope the kid wears it.  *sigh*

NEW BLOG NAME!

Tweet

A friend called me "Boho Martha" today and well, I LOVE it.  I wasn't ever happy with A Mad Housewife.  So, now I am changing my blog title.  What do you think?

Made a felt, embroidered snail ornament for a gift. I am pleased with my design. I need help taking better photos of my crafts. Any ideas?
