Year of the Rooster

Year of the Rooster

Even though things have been chaotic and I’ve been really busy, I knew I had to set some time aside to do this year’s Chinese zodiac animal. Happy year of the rooster! I made him a little bigger than All About Ami‘s pattern to match the past animals but….. I accidentally made him a little bigger […]

Thai House v2.0 – Part 12

We finally have some walls! The exterior walls have been installed and a lot of pink, fluffy insulation has gone in. The chill in the house has gone considerably down now that there are finally walls enclosing the house. We’re slowly but surely making progress!

Back in November, Ikea had their kitchen sale so we bought our kitchen cabinets and sinks. After two rounds of rescheduled delivery dates and three shipments of the wrong items, we finally have our complete order!

Insulation went in.. and Louie thought he could walk on clouds and immediately fell through into the crawl space under the house. 😑 Plywood went down.. and the dogs were SO excited to […]

Virginia is for Lovers

Virginia is for Lovers

I can’t believe it’s already been almost a month since I’ve been back from Virginia! Virginia was a very random and sudden trip. I had just started my job at CHLA and barely one month in, my boss asked if I wanted to attend a conference in Arlington. Having never gone to a work conference […]

#tiffpeterleavinglocks

Six years ago, Peter left a lock for us at the famous Seoul Tower Locks of Love when he was studying abroad in Asia. We should have continued the tradition so I’m a little sad we’ve missed out on leaving locks at all of the places we have traveled together so far. But it’s never […]
