Laughter Seems Appropriate.

Okay, so please feel free to laugh at me. I set up a word press blog with all the features I like, but it just seems to “dark” and “heavy” to me. I want to change the css, but you have to pay $14.95 to do it. Stupid me, I did not realize.

Would it be wrong to switch back to blogger? I will keep you updated! xox = cah.

Molly The Small.

This is Molly. She is very small. She is only three months old. We have had her for 5 weeks and she is 5 times the size she was on the day we brought her home. She is growing by leaps and bounds and soon she will be Molly the Not-So-Small. So, I thought I better share her now while she still fits in a photo.

P.S. I am still changing things up, hope it’s not too annoying *smile* xox = cah.

Surprises!

Yay! Babies!

I just found out that a sweet, wonderful, internet friend of mine is having a baby!

Must … make … baby … presents!

I can’t wait! What should I make for her? Is it going to be a boy or a girl? Better make goodies for both, just in case! I found a few lovely free patterns at Ravelry. Now to pick one … or you know … a few! Fun!! xox = cah.

Hello Again!

My name is christine ann haynes. 

I love my blog, but I allowed it to fall into dis-repair. I am making a fresh start. It might be slow going, but I hope you’ll stick with me. xox = cah.

Blurg..

 This is a test. You know, I set this website up soooo long ago that I can not remember how I made it, which is particularly un-useful when it seems to be having problems. Hugs. xox=vv.

Taking Up A Collection.

This is one of the posters in our collection of Jason Munn Screenprints. I fell in love with The Small Stakes a couple years ago and introduced Simon to his work this September at Bumbershoot's Flatstock. We picked these out and had ten of them wrapped up a few minutes after we found his booth. We tried to restrain ourselves since we only have 500 square feet of wall space. I think we did pretty well. What do you think? Hugs. xox=vv.

Oooh I Want To Live Here.

 Oh my goodness. It has been so long since I have written anything here. I love this space, but I simply have not been on the computer in a few months. My phone has internet capabilities, so I can check in on all the inspiration, but not communicate as well. Kind of ironic.

I love the GMC Concept PAD (searching will bring a good amount of results). It is part vehicle, part home and part telecommunications center. My updated concept of Utopia is a city that can re-configure itself. Traditional homes take up so much space. Wouldn't it be great if our homes were mobile (mobile homes, but not mobile homes. Ya know what I mean?) and we could travel between natural, beautiful communal spaces. Just a thought.

Here's a bit of info about how it works: How Stuff Works - GMC Pad

Also thinking of you. Hugs. xox=vv.

Certainly Not A Secret, But Worth Knowing All The Same.

 Fall is here. My days of summer dreaming are at an end and I long for the cozy, busy days that signal the swift approach of the holidays. I've been meaning to tell you so many things. I have been in the blogo-sphere admiring the handiwork of my friends. Silently, I've been sympathizing upon news of their sorrows and celebrating upon news of their joys. My heart is with you.

That being said, one of the first things I need to mention is a crazy good deal from Joann's. I did not mean to keep it from you (and you may already know), I just forgot. Regularly, I think even monthly, they put an entire brand of patterns (ie. Simplicity, Vogue, Butterick) on sale for $1.99 a piece. So, as soon as the Simplicity patterns went on sale, I bought each-and-every Built By Wendy pattern for a whopping $20.00. Normally, they would have cost $150.00, so I saved $130.00 !!!

That leaves a lot of money for fabric and I hope that someone out there finds this newsworthy or useful. Hugs. xox=vv.

A Bit Of Time Away.

 Like so many others I find myself entranced and exhausted by the summer sun. Things are going swimmingly, but I am afraid I am having a hard time keeping up with all of you lovely people. So, I will be away a bit.

You can still find me at Simple Acts Of Green. As a matter of fact, we just posted a "quick chat" there a few days ago. Check it out.

Lastly, if you need me for anything please comment or email and I will respond a.s.a.p. Hugs. xox=vv.

Un-Planned.

Our friends got this adorable puppy (Chico) a few days ago and sadly had to go out of town this week. So, I get to puppy sit. Yay!

Isn't he adorable? He is a bit of a handful, but he is so sweet and cuddly and all-in-all pretty well behaved. Although, the little one is chewing my laptop ... again.

We have been so incredibly busy this summer, but more about that later. I am thinking of you and looking forward to spending some catch up time with all of you and your lovely blogs. Hugs. xox=vv.
