My Laptop DIED!

I am so bummed...our laptop went on the fritz about two weeks ago. We hurried and copied all our files to our desktop so we could reconfigure everything, but it's still not working. It sort of figures, on the heals of becoming re-energized about our budget something unexpected would come up. Jesse thinks if we get a new "ram" for it (whatever that is...) that it may fix it, and he thinks that's not too big of an expense, so we'll be trying that. Mostly, it's just such a pain, because I used to check our email 50 times a day, check people's blogs, work on my etsy shop, stop into some message boards, etc. throughout the day. It's really not very convenient having our desktop in our bedroom...in fact I can hear my kids screaming right now and I've got to go settle some battle...

Okay, battle settled. See, with a laptop I could just look over and yell much more convincingly than when I'm WAY up stairs and not within sight, sigh...hopefully we'll get our laptop back and I'll be more active in keeping up with all this again!

BUT, I have used this mini laptop break to learn how to knit! I'll post pics soon, the hat I made looks a little rough, I dropped a few stitches, but the booties turned out really cute! I'm excited to experiment with the different stitches. There's a lot more I can do with knitting than crochet. It's kind of fun to increase my "skills" (as Napolean Dynamite would say).

Opening Day!

Today is opening day for my newest blog! This is mainly a blog featuring my family, but I'm slipping in some promotion for my online shop as well (My BUG)!

First, my life...I am my husband's girlfriend (Jesse) and my kids mom (Isaac 4 1/2 and Keltsy (almost 3)! I am living the American Dream, cute little house, in a cute little neighborhood, with my cute little family. I really love my life!

Second, my shop! I have recently started a shop on etsy.com to feed my crafting hunger. I love crochet and have ventured into a little sewing, hairbow making, etc. I really enjoy spending what little time I have - dreaming, creating, and even selling. This is starting out as a little hobby, but would love to see it become much more.
