there are mushrooms in Alaska, too!

look what felt can do

i had not previously thought that needle felting would be fun for me, but these pieces by stephanie metz are making me want to run out to the craft store and get to felting. teddy bear skulls! fetal creatures!

nature in miniature

last week i went with my family to west virginia to some forest service cabins in the woods. i took advantage of my camera's digital macro setting to take some photos of the local flora.

sooo cute! and the baby's not bad either

sweet little cyrus seems to be enjoying the cuttlefish i made. the pattern was designed by jessica polka at wunderkammer.

a grown-up at last

i turned 30 last weekend! i'm very excited. luke made sure that i had a wonderful day, with treats and nice weather (luke has special powers) and dinner at babbo. the flowers are from some friends.

something wonderful happened!

i know it's been awhile since i've posted, but i've been distracted... we have big news! luke and i got engaged on top of a mountain in montana while snowboarding in march! yippee!

and here is the ring. it's so lovely.

terrariums are here!

i've made my first few paula-hayes-inspired terrariums and planters, and i'm very excited!
