I'm loving the weather right now. We are expanding our horizons and spending much more time outside. The smell of honeysuckle first thing in the morning is a welcome addition around here. It's a smell that takes me back...
Today is my anniversary. Eleven years of mostly bliss. We've had our fair share of struggles, but we've worked through them. And we are still madly in love! While Hubby was shooting a wedding today, I made something he's...
...from the toddler's day. Doing "dishes". Watching the roll-off dumpster get delivered next door....
Turns out that in this case it's the baby. One became two today as I recycled an old tee from the Gap into a pair of baby pants and a pair of toddler shorts. Old as in I remember...
That's the top for a drafting table that was my dad's. He designed and built it when he was in college when he and my mom were first married. Over the years it's traveled from Lawrence to Topeka to...
I came to realize at some point in time last week that I just can't quit sewing altogether until the studio is done. At the pace I'm moving, the studio is liable to take a couple of months to...
Occasionally I find something around the house that just makes me smile. The other day I found that the toddler had parked his beloved bucket truck by my Mexican sugar mold candle holder and extended the bucket. I chuckled...
I love the weather here in KC this time of year. It's been warm, and we are spending a lot of time outside. The toddler can entertain himself for hours in the backyard. We spent some time drawing letters...
The Unmentionables lately? Didn't think I had, and figured I should show you that all I have left is the lace edging and some grafting. I'm taking a break to knit the May block for the SSS, but as...
A meal for an imaginary friend - A new beginning - A favorite window - A treasured tree - A fresh coat of paint waiting to happen...
You'd think, given my current situation in life and the title up there, that this post would be about the boys. Of course, at nearing 3 and just over 1 they both have their struggles with sharing; it's a...
Before Hubby became a photographer, okay, long before he became a photographer, he worked at an ad agency here in town. They used to throw a lavish Christmas party every year that I enjoyed going to simply because I...
Figured that I should share some more of my wonderful Mother's Day with you. Rest assured, there was much more than cookies for lunch!...
Yep, there it is in all it's "glory". My studio is such a giant mess that I can't even take a single picture to show you how messy it is! I realized today that there are so very many...
A funny thing happened today; I had just a few minutes at nap time today to start on this post. After a short brainstorming session, I titled the post, uploaded the photo, and then left it until this evening....
It truly was a happy Mother's Day at our house this year, and it all started on Friday. I came home from an outing with just the girls for my mother-in-law's birthday to find the boys out front having...
The toddler is currently fascinated with flags. And his fascination was resulting in some bordering on dangerous behavior as well as some potential grossness; he'd run at full gallop swinging anything he could find around the house pretending it...
Meet the elephant stackers. They have yet to be named as the recipient was the birthday boy who just turned one. Since his vocabulary is all of about 10 words, we can't very well expect him to come up...
The way that nice weather gets all my boys in the hammock together. Tub time; we put the boys in the tub together for the first time last night. Oh the giggles! How focused this older kiddo of mine...
The baby was the recipient of this amazing quilt made by one of his aunts for his birthday. Hubby and I are thrilled that both the boys' aunts make them things. I'm certain that he will grow to love...
