Shop news

This is a piece I did for my beloved friend Kelsheeyyy. Got it done in a week so I could give it to her while she was in town:

 I really really really like it. And luckily she really liked it too!

This piece down here is the newest weaving posted on my shop even though I am still missing one I did before. HA! Yeah I am still a beginner, but I have already started another one and it is in full swing and should be on the shop soon after!

This one coincidentally turned out really nice for this fall season. It's hanging high in MY house until someone buys it. !!!!


Peace and blessings. Life is beautiful.

In the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

Life is real! Life is earnest!

   And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

   Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

   Is our destined end or way;

But to act, that each to-morrow

   Find us farther than to-day.

Some new pictures, some old pictures. My mom and I like to get drunk off each other's humor. I've been in the mood lately to have pictures of all my loved ones all over my walls and just pictures that I love. Just grabbed some gems that I liked. I just love Dave and think that picture is funny. This last picture is with one of my most favorite people, Krystle, who is on a Mormon mission and will be home very soon, and Ingrid Michaelson, whom you may have heard of before...... 

Thoughts right now: thank the Lord it is Friday..... I'm honestly glad I live in Provo again.

Life with 16 month old boys

Here are some of the funny things my kids are doing these days...

Animal noises were the first things they could say. But now they're kind of over it and for every animal I ask them to imitate Harrison barks like a dog and David meows - with perfect clarity and pronunciation which somehow makes it more hilarious. 

They play Connect Four with me. Without winners or losers or any understanding of the objective. Which is why I play with them.

No matter what Harrison has in his hand at what time, he has to hit David on the head with it.

David hits his head on everything anyway.

They are starting to trade items and share without me asking which is one of the coolest things about twins so far.

Harrison wiggles when he walks as if he's trying to be a dog. All the time. It's very girly but I like it.

They both dance like weirdos. David bends his knees and goes side to side or up and down almost like twerking. Harrison looks like a sassy black woman from the 50's when he dances. like with sassy hands and twisty hips. I'm trying not to be worried about it.

If I mention anyone is "coming over" they look at the door immediately. 

When they do something mean to each other they have to say sorry and give a hug - and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen even when forced.

They take their diapers off and pee if they don't have pants on. Happened last night in David's crib.

Harrison developed a grumpy scowl and does it all the time for fun and totally out of context. Sometimes he's just scowling at me from across the room...

If I close myself in a room to vacuum it, David thinks I'm dying. Total panic and terror until I'm out. Even though he knows both me and the vacuum quite well at this point.

One of their favorite things is the idea of brushing their teeth (I brush their teeth with a tiny bit of adult toothpaste more aggressively than they'd like, and then they get to do it themselves after it's washed off). It's really not exciting. But I try to make that last part really rewarding... 

It's boring, but, it's my life  ;). Plus lots and lots of fall leaves, going to the park as much as possible before winter, only one car, chalk and colored pencils, little books, Winnie the Pooh adventures, stand-up showers until the full bathroom upstairs is finished, and so many little things I cherish. I don't know why but I haven't been this excited for the holidays in years.

Mom came to visit.

We went to New York.

-Boys last winter-

What about the holidays are you most excited for???
