  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

2020 Make Nine Wrap-Up

Happy 2021!

While 2020 didn’t go as planned, I was surprised to learn I actually finished eight of the nine projects I’d set as a goal for in those naive early days of pre-pandemic 2020!

I failed to pick up knitting needles even once in 2020, but the rest of the projects, even the massive building project and the forever-a-WIP Jesse tree ornaments got finished!

Only some of these projects got shared, so I look forward to posting details in the next couple of weeks!
