  • SWINGERS

  • EXPERIMENTER

    Lately, I feel like I am so lucky to be able to move at Bea’s pace. We spend our days with very few deadlines. If she wants to linger over picking out a shirt in the morning or if we have to have an impromptu coloring session – it’s OK. I realized how slow we…

  • A STOVE THAT WE CAN PUT OUR FEET UP ON

    This is what you get when you really want a play kitchen but you don’t have room for one more thing in your house. I made a new slipcover for our footstool. Here’s my before and after.

  • BRAIDS

    I like braids. I came across this flickr group called Braid Wednesday the other day and it took me back to something I hadn’t thought about in a long time. Jennifer used to braid my hair on the school bus. I love that memory. I don’t actually remember a lot about it. I just remember sitting there sideways while…

  • A PURPLE DAY A GOOD DAY

     

  • I MADE ANOTHER HAT

    This hat pattern goes together so quickly – I can actually complete it in one day – which is very satisfying to me. She wouldn’t try it on when we were at the beach this morning. It probably would have just blown off her head anyway. I think I need to make a chin strap…

  • HELLO MONDAY

It’s biking season so they had to catch up on the The Giro d’Italia action:   And apparently there was some mugging for the camera with Daddy’s glasses: It’s…

  • I MADE A HAT

    I made this while she napped. It’s Simplicity pattern #5695 – It think I’ll make some more.

  • RUMMAGING AGAIN

    We went to another church rummage sale this morning. I think we could keep completely busy just going to church rummage sales – there are so many this time of year. I got a Corning Ware baking dish that has really nice clean lines. It reminds me of those beautiful Dansk enamel dishes. Do you…

  • WE’VE BEEN HAVING A GOOD WEEK

    Brian has been doing another week of traveling from Tuesday through Thursday. It’s usually kinda hard for me to be without him and alone with Bea for that long. But this has been a nice week.  Maybe it’s because the majority of my planting got done in one fell swoop thanks to Grandma and Grandpa.…
