This weekend my mom came over to see all the cool things we’d updated at the house. I know it sounds stupid, but I love people coming to my house. I’m really proud of the work we’ve done to make this place our home. It really feels like ours. I don’t know any other way to say it… just that its ours, and its wonderful!
Anyway, when mom was here, I decided to christen the kitchen aid mixer, and made these delicious cupcakes by Chockylit over at the cupcakeblog.com… They were really good… I plan to make more… 
It was really awesome to spend some time with mom… It is a very strange sensation to be away from her for so many weeks at a time… sometimes months. As a kid, its hard to imagine that the time will ACTUALLY come that you will really not be around every day. It makes me really miss my brother too. I feel like we were close until I turned about 14… and got so “cool”, and now that I want to see him, and spend more time with him, he’s the “cool” one. Perhaps we’ll sync up again soon…
Anyway, Yesterday and Today I went over to my Grams and Art’s house, and I SEWED! I hemmed a few pieces I’d left rough edges on for months, and actually created some window panels for our front room from scratch! I promise to pose pics soon. Anyway, it was pretty freaking awesome…
Sometimes I am glad for some space from the fam, but lately, I’ve missed them, and it was so nice to reconnect with them over the past few days.
PS: I think I got my RSS importing down so that my blog will be piped into my Virb.com page!

I’m so jealous you’ve got your KA already! I’m counting the days! And yay for sewing and time with your girls…I can’t wait to see photos. I did all of the draperies and valances in our house and it’s such a sense of satisfaction and so nice to be able to get exactly what you want.

I really don’t know how it feels not to have your parents around and wanted to spend time with them. Cause my parents are around all the fuckin time and don’t leave. It sounds fun to make your own window panels. I would love to so that. The only grandma I have that sews is in Oklahoma. So I don’t get to sew much. I love to sew though. I am also jealous of you KA. I want one really bad. I want a black one. Ummm cupcakes sound really good right now. I think I’ll go make some, what the hell am I talking about I’m on a diet.
Yea, I miss being close to my brother. We used to so everything together until we both got to cool for eachother. Now he is married and had a kid on the way. I can’t believe he is going to be a daddy. So yea, I know how you feel…
