a very little bit of spring
We have all (and when I mean all, I mean the whole of Minnesota and perhaps beyond) have been anxiously, crabbily waiting for spring. In the wacky way of our weather, one day it is beautiful 70 and perfect, the next in the 40s cold and windy. But finally my little tulip has begun to …
not a lot going on here, but a lot going on
The plants and the boys and I are waiting for this weather to pass. Today it should break, and we should have some May weather. It is still overcast, but I’m hoping for a little sun. On the sewing side, not much that I can report. Some things are secret so I can’t talk about …
progress
So here is where I am at: two sides nearly attached and one panel pinned. I realized that I will need to go to the fabric store to get a third of a yard of batt, but I bought almost exactly the right amount of bubble gum fabric and yellow fabric. I don’t like the …
busy busy busy
Pastor gave a great sermon last week about leisure. I hope to apply it to my life shortly. I’m thinking next week. This week is crazy busy: super big and complicated 8th grade homework, new mortgage, our first high school tour, extra hours at my second job, special meetings at my first job, and a crazy …
garden update
So the gardens are full swing. The one above is Eliott’s. He is doing a great job of keeping it neat and well watered. Here’s mine. Not quite so neat, and pretty dry. Here is our first little pumpkins, so cute!
wedding highlights.
Finally, after all the anticipation, the wedding! It was a beautiful wedding. Here’s the bride and groom. Here’s the cool bridesmaids. These were the beautiful centerpieces that my mom and sisters made. I helped assemble them at the church. Each one was unique. And here is a snapshot of one of my contributions, the garters: What a …
Little free library
My neighbor just opened a little free library. Now, if you don’t know about this movement check out their website at Little Free Library. Essentially you buy or build a small box about the size of a bread box. Then it’s like the “leave a penny, take a penny”, but with books! In other words, if you …
my weekend
We went away to a wedding this weekend. It was so lovely. The bride was beautiful, the space was beautiful. The food was great and the dance was great. I got to see so many people that I hadn’t seen for so long: what a blessing! I got some great pictures of family: These are a …
grads and weddings
Life converges sometimes and things kind of all come together. We were blessed to be invited to two special events this weekend. The first was a wedding, for my cousin. So I made the card above, with a red rose for love. Steve helped. Then our dear church friends’ son graduated. This card has a real tiny tassel …
happy anniversity
I had asked my husband several months ago to make me a painting for my cube at work. He finished it for our anniversity. It really is a beautiful painting and I know it will brighten up my space at work. Notice that he put my bird in from Sun Country Fried Chicken. I am so excited to …
