Keeping in theme with my absurd attachment to inanimate objects, this is my newest love. I got it for my birthday from Evan (possibly after telling him exactly what I wanted, thanks to One Pearl Button). I have already ordered film from The Impossible Project and I’m excited to see if it works! Isn’t it…

WID: They're here….
My mom used to initiate different projects for my siblings and me (yes “me” not “I”) when she thought we were getting too rowdy. One of those things projects were cross stitching kits. We just went to goodwill picked a kit out from a bin and then stitched the pixelated image of a cat or…

My birthday eve

Trip to Europe continued
Because I know no one reads the first post anyway, I’m going to continue talking about my trip before I forget it, just for the sake of remembering. In London we also saw the Banquet Hall, Middle Temple Hall, Westminster Abbey, the National Gallery, and the British Museum. All very good places to see. Then…
