I have been slacking with the blogs lately, sorry folks. Theoretically, now that I am unemployed I should have more time on my hands but this week was not the case. In my effort to meet some new people here and get more involved on base I attended my first Osan Enlisted Spouses Club meeting… Continue reading Korean Culture 101 Episode 2
I haven’t been in the mood to write this week, on either of my blogs. But here are a few things that have been making me happy this week: A package from Ambika.

A fun, cheery cover I made for my bible the other day with scraps left over from my Amy Butler Clutch purse. Ieven added two ribbon bookmarks. Two log cabin blocks I made for the Scrappy Cabin Challenge hosted by Melly & Me. A closeup of the blocks. They are a little time consuming but… Continue reading Sleepy = short post…
So Alex came down to Songtan on Saturday evening with Arlene, his co-worker. We went out to dinner and talked about Korea and teaching. She seems to be a wealth of knowledge (she’s been here since ’05) and I think she’ll be able to help Alex out a lot at school. I took them to… Continue reading Alex is here!

So Monica came to visit this past weekend. She was in Asia for work and decided to take a detour and come visit her college partner-in crime. We had a great time and I loved showing her my new country. You’ll have to forgive the short postings, I am still trying to recover from lack… Continue reading Monica was here…
I can’t believe it but I actually finished the Amy Butler Ultimate Arts & Crafts Tote for my International Tote Exchange III partner tonight. The bag probably took a total of 15 or so hours with all the cutting and piecing but it was SOOO worth it. If I had another 15 hours of free… Continue reading IT'S FINISHED (followed by maniacal laughter)
I finally finished the barrettes for Carol’s Made For China donations. I love these and they were so worth the time it took to sew them all together. I hope the little Chinese girls who receive them like them. There are 38 barrettes and as you can tell I went heavy on the cute little… Continue reading Made For China
