Red...

Red has shown her moon face again.
She makes us wait another cycle
and
find forgiveness in each day,
until we can fertilize the garden
that would bloom in the cool of December;
if the roots take hold.

$11 for the vintage children's rocker (second rocker in 2 1/2 weeks. Something about filling the house with things for a child. Thinking it will be a way to remind my body that the chairs need to be filled with little person.
It is my way of creating a "vision board" like in the Secret.)


Wide Leg Lounge Pants, Amy Butler pattern from In Stitches. Modified length (to fit my hobbit legs)

Goings on

There is something fun happening over here.

Guess who I got to meet this weekend? Pancakemama herself. She was wonderful to chat with while knitting- the two and half hours that passed seemed like minutes. I should have chosen the tea instead of the Thai cafe though- I think I talked way more than I listened (sorry)... Thanks Ani, it was so wonderful to meet up with you.

I started a new sewing project this weekend as well.
I am working on some "Wide-legged lounge pants" from the Amy Butler book.

We got to spend some fabulous time with family Saturday night- To the UNR game we went (What a game). I got to hold the most beautiful baby for so long and then we headed to Blue Moon Pizza for more visiting. It feels so good to spend time with my SIL and their men.

Found out some news from one of my dearest friends. My lips are zipped however. despite my heart skipping a beat over it all.

busy week ahead...

Where am I

I have been busy with work and teaching again this week.
I like that I haven't had much time to get on line, it is somehow refreshing. Has anyone else found that the more they look at blogs and the insane amount of creativity going on the more they feel like everyone else must be living in a different dimension? I mean when do these people find the time to create such amazing things, take such awesome photographs, birth such beautiful babies and still have a roof over their heads?

I am okay with it all, it is just sometimes I am truly amazed at what others are doing out there... am I just a bad time manager? hmm... how can you really manage time - Think about that statement for a second, go ahead I will wait....... time just keeps going, no matter what you do.


On Sunday I swung by JoAnne's fabrics for a bit of a fix. I have been wanting to make the pants from this awesome book, but needed a bit more fabric than I currently have at home. I thought about piecing together some of the fabric scraps I had, but decided for the first time around and because I am still learning to sew, I would go the easier route.
The fabric sits in the plastic bag on my craft room floor, untouched but not forgotten.... I will snap a few photos when I can get a bit of sun light. I really liked the colors I found and think these will sew up pretty easily.

I am getting more and more excited about my weekend get away with the girls.

There is talk of photobooths, dim sum, shopping, spa-ing, and bar hopping. I will have camera in tow and crisp dollar bills just in case we find a booth or two.

Andy and I have been cooking like crazy the past few days- I love being in the kitchen with him.



chopping, rinsing, giggling and snacking. He is quite the cook/baker and it is something we are finding that we really enjoy doing together. It is nice when that happens. Such a good way to spend the time we have after work together.

That sums it up kids. not much else going on here at the Noodle House.
- I promise to have loads of photos when I return next week.
