I finally finally got around to making some string art! I've seen it around for quite awhile now and I only recently got on board to make some of my own. Turns out it is so so easy. With a little bit of planning anyone can make string art. Serious. It does take some time-especially if you need to treat your … Continue reading Tutorial: DIY String Art
Well...I actually liked doing the GBOMB last month. So here's the next monthly installment of Good/Bad/OnMyBrain also known as: Things That Have Been Going on With the Browns. Good As everyone knows February brings Valentine's Day! And every year Ben tells me how much he hates this holiday and how we should not celebrate it. … Continue reading February GBOMB
One of these days I'll do an actual tutorial type post on one of the quilts I make....one day... But today I'm just going to share a blanket I made for Wendy's cousin who was born only 6 days before her (on Ben's side). Baby blankets are probably one of my favorite projects of all … Continue reading Finished Project: Elephant Baby Blanket
Well, a blogger I know does a post every month called a GBOMB. It stands for Good, Bad and On My Brain. Basically, I love the idea and I hate the idea. I love that it gives you a chance to recap the month...which is something I'd like to do here. But I hate that … Continue reading January Things
We had Wendy's baby blessing the Sunday before Christmas. It was really wonderful. I was especially grateful to the people who were able to be there for the blessing. I knew we wouldn't have lots of family there since we live so far away, so I was extra grateful for these guys who made the long … Continue reading Wendy’s Blessing Dress
Sorrynotsorry about the whole never posting thing. I've definitely been a slacker the past couple months...but I do feel like I have a valid excuse. The past 2 months have completely flown by. I can't believe it's January and I can't believe we've welcomed in a new year! Blows. My. Mind. I'm hoping to get my … Continue reading November/December Things
****shameless amounts of pictures up in here...**** Baby Girl Brown is here!!! I was pretty patient with the waiting until about a week before her due date. When she still wasn't here on her due date, I basically decided that she was never going to come. But she did come (ha! Imagine that!)! She came … Continue reading She’s Here!
When we found out I was pregnant, I was 7 weeks along and we were living in bush Alaska. Since we were so far from civilization and traveling once to see a doctor would cost over a thousand dollars (just to send me, not to send me and Ben), we opted to not see a … Continue reading My Pregnancy: Updates by Trimester
WIP is quilting lingo for Work in Progress. When we were in Alaska, I shared the start of a sewing project that I was doing called La Passacaglia. I figured it was time for an update! Now before you get too excited, just know that...I didn't really get that much done. I know, I know, … Continue reading WIP Wednesday: La Passa Progress
I consider myself to be a pretty low key kind of person. And truth be told, I'm also kinda stingy. So my response to most "absolutely 100% essential can't-live-without" pregnancy items was to figure I'd survive without it. Buuuuuuut....when my sister in law offered to let me try out her pregnancy pillow, I took her … Continue reading DIY Pregnancy Pillow
