We’re Fine

I’m fine. Alan is fine. Isabelle and Nathan are fine. But…

I don’t want to talk about it. But we are fine. Just wanted to pop in and say that in case I’m gone too long. Back to distracting myself with the kids and blog reading and happy thoughts.

Tangerine Soap Winner

It’s been a stressful bloody week. But I thought I should pop on and have Isabelle pick a winner for the tangerine soap. And that winner is:

Ali, email your address to me at kukyideas@gmail.com and we’ll send your tangerine soap to you.

Halloween Another Time

I’ve just now finished going through all our Halloween photos. Well Halloween related photos.

But I’ll talk about them some other time. Hopefully.

We’re off to bed early tonight.

Wish me luck. Hope this isn’t a terrible mistake involving me waking up at an insanely early hour.

An Advent Calendar…finally

Kuky — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:48:39 +0000

This is what I was working on, on Wednesday night, before Waldo.

An advent calendar. I’ve been wanting to make one for years. And this year I finally made one, though it was a little bit late when I started. Every year I have these grand ideas of sewing something up. But that hasn’t happened so far.

So this year, since I was already late, I thought I’d do something quickly with paper. They’re basically paper pouches like these from zakka life and didn’t really end up being quick seeing as there are TWENTY FOUR of them.

I made the design to fit four little pouches onto one sheet of paper.

Anyone want to make them too? Here’s a pdf of the pages.

I designed it so that if you can print borderless, it should take 3 cuts per page. Though if you’re like me, you can’t figure out borderless printing and will have to cut freaking 7 cuts. Thank goodness for paper trimmers. Just make sure all the grey boxes on the corners are showing when you print. That’s how you know the numbers will be centered properly.

Then it’s basically follow the directions on zakka life. Just cut on the grey lines. Fold on the red line. Oh and don’t crease the other fold where the number is. And that’s it.

Enjoy. Or sorry for the tortuous folding, cutting, and taping.

I’m taking a blog break. A friend needs me and I can’t think of anything else right now.

Little sheep on it’s way!

Nice Matter Awards

Kuky — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 02:11:43 +0000

Jools has given me the Nice Matters award. I’ve never seen this before so I looked it up trying to find where it started. Turns out it was started by Bella Enchated. And in her words: This award will be awarded to those that are just nice people , good blog friends and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration! Those that care about others that are there to lend support or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world!

So I in turn would like to give the Nice Matters award to some ladies who took the time out of their day to email me when I was feeling a little down and needing a break. I’m supposed to choose 7 but more than 7 wrote me so I am naming them all. Alice, Sarabeth, Karol, Michelle, Siew (didn’t send along a link), Judy, Sandra, Stefanie, Lisa S. and last but not least Jools. For yes Jools not only gave me the award but she was one of the kind ladies who emailed me so she deserves to be mentioned three times in this post. Thank you all for your supportive emails, they really lifted me up!

Bwa ha ha!

Ahhhhhhh!!!! And that’s a scream of terror not joy, not happiness. Do you see what I’m talking about? Aaaaccccckkkk!!!

It’s broken!! BROKEN!!! Waaaaah!!!! Waaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Many months ago Isabelle leaned on my laptop screen and pushed it all the way flat back. It is not meant to do that!! The screen went dark, I screamed and raised the screen and adjusted the brightness. I noticed the hinge area looked a little wonky but it opened and closed and it worked just fine. Just an occasional squeak. Well last night when I opened it there was a very loud creak. Isabelle was sleeping, it was dark, and I didn’t think much except wow that was loud, hope it won’t disturb Isabelle. Then this morning when I opened it I saw it right away! WAAAAHHHHH!!! And now the lid is a little crooked and won’t stay shut. Aaaahhhh!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Do you think it’s fixable?
