Pictures from Lelly’s first month!
Monday marked Lelly’s four-week birthday, and the time has gone by very quickly! She’s growing so fast. Please enjoy these photos I’ve taken over the past few weeks. I’m amused that this is the first chance I’ve had in a long time to get them uploaded, but that’s the way it is with a tiny [...]
She’s here!
My beautiful baby daughter is finally here! It’s awesome being a mother, and Daniel is a really great dad. We’re so happy that Allelia is now a part of our lives. I’ve got a few moments of quiet while she’s napping, so I’d like to share my birth story! I went into labor around midnight [...]

Tea Caddy from Recycled Cardboard
This morning after brunch I was overcome with the urge to clear out my tea cupboard and organize it. People who have had a cup of tea when they’ve come over to my house know very well that I have an overwhelming number of tea choices. I usually start helping people narrow it down by [...]

Lemon Poppyseed Scones
I’m pretty amused that a good portion of my posts are food-related, since I initially set out to make this a mostly-craft blog. But cooking is edible crafting, and lately it seems to be the only creative thing I do, given that my hands are swollen and stiff in my last month of pregnancy. (See [...]
Gingerbread Turtles
Daniel and I have an awesome holiday tradition of building a different gingerbread creation every year. Basically the only rule is that there can’t be any repeats of a theme, so half the fun is coming up with what we are going to build. Our previous years’ creations: 2003: A classic house. It was just [...]
Seven weeks to go!
Throughout my pregnancy, people have said that I look way more pregnant than I am, and at my last checkup even my doctor agreed. I had an ultrasound today to check Lelly’s growth, just to make sure she wasn’t growing out of control. Happily, the measurements today show that Lelly’s growth is average and my doctor [...]
Awesome vegan, soy-free pumpkin pie!
I love pie! Despite the fact that I’ve relaxed my diet a bit during pregnancy and I’m now much more omnivorous, all my baking is still vegan. I don’t like eggs and I don’t drink milk, so why have them in the house just for baking? It’s too much trouble!! So this Thanksgiving, I wanted [...]
Website Redesign Launched!
I have been wanting to redesign my website for a long time. A really, really long time. And I wanted it to be something that I created from the bottom up, not just some WordPress theme that I found and installed and customized. So I figured out how to develop a simple WordPress theme, which [...]
Elastic laced shoes for pregnant women (or lazy people!)
I am getting to the point in my pregnancy where it’s a pain to tie my shoes. I can still do it, but the baby bump in the way is getting bigger all the time, and I have to sit down, rather than just bending over and tying them like I used to before I [...]
It’s a girl!!
Daniel and I are very excited to be having a little baby girl in late January or early February 2012! We went in for a very detailed ultrasound this week, and the technician measured her little head and abdomen and arms and legs, as well as checked out all her organs and body parts and [...]
