detours
I started sewing a project last week, that I cut in December. It's been sitting on my desk in a pile waiting to be constructed. It was supposed to be a hexagon quilt following this tutorial, but I ran into... Continue reading

chalkboard calendar
Just over a week ago I was eyeing the very sad calendar page pinned to my fridge. The calendar is both sad and small, easy to ignore and unremarkable. Then my son missed his orthodontist appointment because sad, small calendar... Continue reading

Thanks for the mudroom love, I'm still delighted with that space and happy to have another project crossed off my list. This winter we have had a backyard visitor. He comes a couple of times a week around mid-morning. He... Continue reading

mudroom finished
If you have been reading this blog for any period of time, you know that mr. duckyhouse and I have been renovating our home for quite a while now. These days the renovations have changed from utter chaos - we aren't moving walls around any more like we did when we first moved into the duckyhouse...

In January of last year (2013) I left you hanging with a post that promised a reveal about some sewing I was working on. Indeed I did complete that project but just never got around to discuss it here. You... Continue reading

Hi Cristin, I have all types of yarn in my stash, they all have their place that's for sure. Just depends on the project. The "meh" yarns are the best for learning :) Btw, I hopped over to your blog and read through the fabulous news that you had twins!! Yay, welcome to the twin club. My identical girls just turned 9 this past fall and boy do I miss the age your girls are at. Your girls are beautiful! How is your son adjusting?

Knit 4, purl 2...repeat
Last year I started a vest knitting project that is taking me forever to complete. It didn't help that I completed it and then frogged it because it was too large. Ugh! The pattern is called Lazarao and it is from the Mirasol Collection book 1. The yarn I'm knitting with is called Hacho in th...
Thanks for the welcome back and the healing thoughts! It is always good to know you are not alone - not that I celebrate others being low in iron, rather one must always keep in mind they truly are never alone. :)

2014 - hello world, I'm back... I think.
I can't promise in what capacity but I am here today and that is an excellent start. So where have I been for almost the past year? Well, I've been here at home, just not online in this space. Nothing tragic or dramatic happened, just life getting in the way and me being a practical girl, som...

One of the things I did manage to keep up with the past year was the duckyhouse etsy shop. I didn't manage any handmade goods in the shop this past year, rather I kept it stocked with vintage goodies like... Continue reading

don't get out of bed
Yup, that is my motto this summer. I don't want to get out of bed. Oh that doesn't mean I'm actually horizontal, rather I just want to be comfy, all day, all summer long. I can't think of anything more comfortable than when I first get into bed at night. The mattress, pillows, sheets & quilt...
Count me in! I don't currently have a fabric I'm pining away for but anything in UniqueShiny's etsy shop would be wonderful :)

:: a happy friday giveaway!
Oh, it's been a good week... Found this bundle of Mrs. March's 30's prints on Etsy and though it looks amazing sitting on my shelf right now... I am in search of the perfect quilt pattern for it. The possibilities make my head spin. And lots of other fun stuff arrived this week but I'll hav...

Hi Simone :)
So nice to hear from you and congratulations on your move. You know we moved over 4 years ago and I had all these grand plans that I would blog about our renovation process but to tell you the truth at the end of the day it was exhausting. A lot of creativity goes into make house changes when you are doing the work yourself and sometimes you don't have anything else left over for blogging. I can totally understand you not being able to keep up with crafting/blogging.
I know, my kids are growing up so quickly :( kinda sad watching the years go by.

Hello there, it's been awhile hasn't it? I mean - July to November - now that's just way too long for an update! So what on earth could have taken me away from this space all this time?? Life. I've embraced it and I've been busy in the thick of it, much like many of you I suppose (& to those tha...
Hi Kirsten,

I did it for love
But I have to acknowledge that there was a whole lot of luck entwined as well. It was one of those right place at the right time scenarios. A previously loved dress, filled with pink layers and girly appeal, arrived at our house one day in early July. There wasn't even time to debate owner...

cross THAT off the list
It only took me a year and 10 months, but I FINALLY made myself a bag from that sweet leather jacket I found while thrifting (a year and 10 months ago). Remember that story? I bought the jacket with the intention of turning it into a bag, then discovered that it was handmade with "I love yo...
