Coptic Bookbinding - success!
I did it! I bound a book with coptic stitch - a binding I've admired for years. I sense that there will be more books in my future. I used a kit from Evalicious - and the PDF instructions included with the kit are amazing - very clear and with lots of pictures. Shipping and customer service were great - I'll be a return customer for sure.

Photo of the Day
You are likely wondering why on earth am I posting a picture of my sink full of dirty dishes? Well it has something to do with a concept that I've recently been introduced to called Photo of the Day. The idea is that everyday life is beautiful - and worth capturing for posterity.
So I took a photo of our dirty dishes yesterday because today we're having our new dishwasher delivered! After procrastinating for almost 2 years (May would be the anniversary of that issue) we've decided to go out and buy a new one. I will post a picture of the new dishwasher when it gets here. I'm excited. But still you wonder, what is it about the dirty dishes. Well, last night Cory decided to prioritize the dirty dishes - he washed only the pots and other large dishes that wouldn't fit in the dishwasher later today... I just laughed. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. And honestly this sort of interaction is pretty typical in our house. I wouldn't want it any other way.

This Moment - February 18, 2011
Inspired by SouleMama {this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.
Wishing you a lovely weekend
