A Lightning McQueen(ish) party...
Over the weekend we celebrated Henry's 3rd Birthday! Three?! Come on, really? Goodness, the time does fly so fast, doesn't it. Henry's third birthday also marks three years living in our first house, we moved in a week after he was born, and I've got to say that there really has been quite a...
Absolutely gorgeous. I love how light and spacious it is! That is one lucky gal.

Our Bedroom Switcheroo
Since we moved to our current house nearly two years ago, I haven't really messed around with the bedroom layouts. Beatrix had her bedroom with her toys in it. Byron and I used the third bedroom as an office/craft/guest room. But for awhile now, I'd been feeling an itch to rearrange, move stuff ...

A series of shots I took, just walking around the house with the camera yesterday at 6 p.m. I am going to plan to take the next few days off and I'll be back by weeks end or Monday. Much Love.
I always love the ideas I find here. Thanks so much for sharing, I hope Finn feels all better.

mellow play
Perhaps it was all the hoopla of the run up to the Birthday (anyone who has had a four year-old will know why that is capitalized. It was Such A Big Deal.) Perhaps it's just the pendulum swing of spring weather. Whatever it was, Finn came down with a cold and spent a day on the couch. He's feeli...

here we are
It's been a while! Although I didn't intend to put the blog down for a nap, it ended up being a nice, long one and I think we've both emerged from a very refreshing sleep. I suppose it was only the blog that was napping, though. I spent that extra time being really present with these little ...
I freaking love the fiber art piece! I knew exactly what it was and the tourists are going to pay bank for that! Although I do agree that fiber art is weird, I'm sure you'll come up with a better name. Way to do it up right!

Another day, another peacock in the works. I'm basically learning how to become better at embroidery by continuing to do these peacock samplers. See? Just.Do.It. It's my motto. I don't do anything very well (yet) in the embroidery dept. But I am getting better. One learns by doing. And ...

A couple of weekends ago I had the opportunity to do a little kid crafting as part of a craft show that Gala Artisan Jewelry & Gifts was hosting. I wasn't completely sure of what to expect, ie. what age ranges to expect or how many children would be there, so I kept it fairly simple and inexpe...

Oh room shifting is so much work. Our house is tiny and lives little room for rearrangement but I always get the itch to move one thing the leads to moving all the things! A lap quilt is a great idea!

Around Here
Around here the flower beds aren't quite getting the love they need. Little messy flower and veggie beds everywhere I look and I'm tired of it! Today I hope to go out and do some weeding and trimming and loving on those little beds. But I'm a little slow on the get-up. Because...

My Leave of Absence
Well, that was a little unusual. Most of the month of April and the first few days of May were not kind on our family life in the way of health. Nothing major but enough to take down one of us at a time and then again with a night spent at the ER for an ear infection with Ruby and the worst c...

heads up
We've had quite a week around here. I've been tending to one of my girls who had a frightening bout with allergies. Many visits to various doctors ...and I could go on. But I'd rather suffice to say that all is good now, under control and very nearly back to normal. Plus, we've learned a...
Thanks so much Carrie, what a great round up!

I have a confession to make: Jude wasn't really using his mini lounger very often. But then, in the spirit of the William Morris Project, I was cleaning out our linen closet and I came across some red sheers that I forgot I had, instead of donating them, I found a way to make them useful. J...
