A last minute vacation
With a week's notice, we made hotel reservations and packed up the car. Our favorite time to take a vacation is when public school is still in session. Less crowds and cheaper hotels. We went to the Omaha Zoo and it was great. My little Wild Kratts had a blast oohing and ah...
OK, this is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

new around here
Goodness, I have so many introductions to make today! There's been a flurry of new arrivals this past week. Picking them up, getting their spaces ready, moving electric fencing, and playing them a little harmonica (but of course!) has all been the focus of our days. (A head's up to those who wou...

Sweet, Sweet, Summer time
Dirty feet, chicken chores, tree climbing, trampoline jumping, tepee building, arrow shooting, full days. We create-play-repeat. And try to squeeze a little school in their inbetween. We are savoring this weather and crawling into bed exhausted from the daily dose of...
Looks like a fun project you have ahead of you. Love the last picture of the tyke!

in and around the garden shed
I've heard that once upon a time not so long before we moved to this farm, there were llamas in here, this roughly 3/4 acre pasture. When we arrived, we made it a home for the chickens, and most recently two pigs overwintered here, rooting and turning up the soil ...

for a little boy
These two little sweet peas, my nieces, (wearing the sweaters I made them before they were born), are about to become big sisters. We are all so excited to welcome another little one into the family, this being the thirteenth grandchild, and the fifth boy. Naturally, a little bit of knitting...

saturday stitching
Saturday greeted us with a slow, rainy and rather dark start to the weekend. The perfect kind of weather, the right kind of moment, for a little bit of sewing. Sorting Mama's buttons by color, and sitting by perhaps the last fire in the woodstove of the year, putting the finishing...

spring stitching
It's so interesting to me, the pull of the seasons as it corresponds to crafting. While the knitting needles were in my hands all winter long as often as I could manage, they've been sitting a little more quietly of late. Surely, I knit all year long. But this time of year, certainly less....
So cute, Amy. I agree, much better!

I had an idea...
This picture has been sitting in Lauren's room for a couple years. It is of her Aunt and cousin and they took the girls to a water park for a birthday present. It holds great memories for them. But I thought it needed something. Like horses. Mixed with a hot glue gun. Much better. N...

How About That British TV?
Because I really don't want to talk about the 12 or so inches of snow we are expecting tonight, let's talk about British TV. But of course! (What else would we talk about on a Monday morning after a winter weekend with not much going on except for church, knitting and Netflix?) Here, tucked a...
Thank you for the inspiration over the years! Have a wonderful week.

Good Monday morning to you! I hope you had a marvelous weekend where you are. We spent ours with old and dear friends visiting, popping out of doors - into the pasture, into the woods - whenever the sun appeared to warm the chilly April air, and just ...

A lot of you have asked for a tutorial on how I'm putting together Ezra's quilt. While I'm hardly qualified for quilting instruction, I can atleast try to tell you what I'm doing. For both Adelaide's quilt and the ocean-inspired throw, I used the log cabin quilt-as-you go method that I learne...
