In case I haven't blabbed about it enough yet, my bro and sis in law are expecting a sweet little girl on Halloween. This is Perry Katherine Hilbert. Love her way too much already.

Mom's Day

This is my great grandmother Edith Soule. I have great memories of her, she lived to be 97 and died when I was in my teens. I am so lucky to have known her well. My favorite memories of her are spending time with her at our cabin in Island Park, and also her home in St. Anthony, ID. She would always tell stories her childhood, and she taught me to play solitaire, which I love to this day. I love you and miss you Grandma Soule.

This is my grandmother, Beverley Birch, one of my best friends. She has always opened her arms and her heart to me, and I am so very grateful for that. I have also learned much from her, including my more recent crafty side of sewing and knitting. I can talk to her about anything, and feel completely comfortable. I love you grandma.

Last, my beautiful mother, Shelley. I cannot express the amount of love I have for this woman. We are so much alike, people even say we look and talk alike, which I take as a compliment. She is always so concerned about others, including me. She has supported me through the roughest of times. I only hope that one day I can be as good of a mother to my children as she was and still is to me. Love you mom.

Mikey's Birthday

My sweet little brother had a birthday not too long ago. We're only 18 months apart, and I love him to death, even though he wouldn't take one of my kidneys if he needed one, cause he thinks I'm gross. I guess that's a sibling thing. His wonderful wife (my beautiful sis in law) threw him a lovely birthday party. We grilled hot dogs, played Mario Kart and Rockband, watched New Moon, and had a fantastic time. Here are some photos of the fun.

The boys.. Mike D., Jon H., Mike H. aka Birthday Boy, Jake W., and Kenny P.

Kid Stuff

Here are a few of the things I have made for the kiddies.

Maddox the Monster

Also, isn't this just the cutest kid you've ever seen in your life?? Her name is Maddy, and she's super awesome. Let me know how you feel about my stuff!!

Model Behavior

So I've been quite the little crafter as of late, and I want to take pictures and post what I've made. I need a model to put on my beanies, scarves, headbands, smittens (yes, I said smittens), gloves, etc. Any takers??

I AM NOT A NORMIE

As you recall, in my last post, I have some things to say. I started a new blog, www.iamnotanormie.blogspot.com, to explain. It is pretty sensitive stuff and I want to keep this blog happy and crafty :). I have sent out invites to those interested. If you would like an invite, let me know. Thanks dudes.

Stuff n things

I have a lot to post about. And it's pretty deep stuff, so I'm gonna need some serious non-judgement here. I'm gonna make this private to support my "anonymity". Leave me your email address if you're interested in hearing about stuff n things.
