Posted on January 10, 2011 by HappyGoth

I love my husband’s family, big time. They’re nerdy and weird and funny in the same ways my husband is, and so we all get along pretty nicely. The SIL’s husband is a little more mainstream, but we’re slowly teaching … Continue reading →

Woo turkeys

Posted on November 27, 2010 by HappyGoth

Handspun is useful!

Posted on November 16, 2010 by HappyGoth

Another milestone

Posted on November 9, 2010 by HappyGoth
