Posted on 30. Mar, 2012 by Trish.

Every few years I chop my hair off, and then grow it back out.  I let it stay long for a while and then I decide I want to chop it off and start all over again.  Well, it’s that time again where I have to decide if I want to chop it off or [...]

I know I am behind the times, but I finally joined Pinterest!
I have no idea why it took me so long to do it!  I have found so many good ideas and I’ve actually made a few things I’ve pinned.  Like crockpot lasagna, or baked donuts, or the cleaner for my bathroom.  It has been [...]

Nikon D40

Posted on 19. Apr, 2011 by Trish.

I finally bought a DSLR camera!  I am so excited.  I’ve wanted one for a while, and even had the chance to review a D3000 a while back, but I had to return it.  Then life happened, and I had a kid and I never really had the money for one.
Then I saw that my [...]

Buy Some Patterns!

Posted on 08. Apr, 2011 by Trish.

Remember a while back when I talked about being a pattern tester for some wonderful ladies?  Well, I have some sad news about the creator of the first three patterns I shared in that post.  Her husband has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia.  At first they thought it was untreatable, but after more testing they [...]

From what I have read, 26 year old John Jones was an experienced spelunker and a medical student in Virginia.  He, along with several members of his family, was [...]

Lost in a Book

Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

I love to read.  I always have.  In fact, when I was younger, my parents would punish me by taking away my books.  I have read pretty much all the books we have, and recently decided to hit up our local library to see what new things I could discover.

Our library is tiny, but it [...]

More Photoshop Actions

Posted on 23. Oct, 2009 by Trish.

I have been playing around more and more with photoshop actions in my PSE7 and love them even more.  I recently discovered the Coffee Bar Actions from The Coffee Shop and they have become my new favorite.  Especially the Hot Cocoa one.

Here’s some pictures I took the other day on our front porch:

The other day I ran to the fabric stores to get some material.  It looked a little cold outside, so I grabbed a t-shirt, threw that on, and then put a sweater on over top.  I quickly glanced in the mirror as I walked by and thought “Oh, I didn’t realize the neckline on this [...]
