Mmmmmmm ....... makes me want to be a child again *sigh* or at least cuddle up in a sunny window.
at the top of the stairs
There wasn't a love-at-first-sight for me with this house, but more like a really slow settling-in of a good feeling as we began to explore it, if that makes any sense at all. Neither Steve or I were incredibly optimistic about the house when we first decided to look closer, but we didn't have...

I found myself agreeing with each of your suggestions - and remembering times when each of those things payed off in a new acquaintance for me.
thanks for posting - and reminding us again of what wonderful treasures our communities are!
A Community Confession.
I have a confession to make. I have a great community of friends. And I don't know why. One of the greatest gifts of my life is the group of friends I have around me. They are funny and profound. They are near and yet respectful. They are consistent without being annoying. They like me. [And tha...

and I totally second the comment about wearing it into fall. it would be so sweet with a long-sleeve tee and leggings! the pattern would probably work with a light weight corduroy, too ..... oooo, the possibilities!
sewing, in french
With many thanks to two blogs in my reader - itty-bitty blog!, followed closely by Alicia Paulson - I found my way to Citronille a few weeks back. After a bit of time debating (well, five minutes, really), I decided that if I could decipher Japanese patterns enough to make something come ou...

Summer Solstice
Judging by these photos on my hard drive, the berries in my fridge, the swimsuits on the line, and the mix of ocean and lake sand in my sheets, I should say that here in Maine, officially....summer has arrived! Happy Solstice to you!

I finished the February Lady Day sweater in green just before Mother's Day - and we've been having cool and rainy weather since! Yes! I absolutely LOVE it (and am 8 1/2 months pregnant so it works great with the belly)!
a summer sort of sweater
I finally, finally finished my hourglass sweater (from Joelle Hoverson's Last Minute Knitted Gifts). It's been on the needles for well over a year, I do think. Surely, I've finished three (or more?) sweaters in that time, but for some reason, this one lingered on the needles. It's kni...

What a great idea!
I have quite a few white cloth napkins (so great that white matches white, makes it fun to find "new" ones at thrift stores) but have hesitated to use them because then I'd have to wash them for each meal. Thank you SO much for sharing!!!!
For The Table (part two)
More table talk today. I wanted to share with you the recent 'completion' of a little family set we have - our set of dinner napkin rings. This simple little collection means so very much to me. It's something so utilitarian - something we use every single day in the here and now. And yet, ...

I was given that scooter when I was little, and it went through 5 kids. Such a great toy!
Now I'm looking for one for my own baby .... :)
corners of my home
A simple little corner in action. Old favorite toys make an appearance for the fourth time. The worn board books and the duct tape holding things together this time around just make them all that much more loved. Infused with our family history, so to speak. And the little boy discove...

I agree about kids keeping themselves warm - sometimes it's as if they have different internal thermostats than adults and can tolerate things like splashing barefoot in icy puddles as long as they have a hat on. :)
