Adding Baby E to our family eliminated all sewing for 9 months, but I found a little time to get this project finished. With spring here and summer coming, it’s the perfect time to get these hats made! Miss … Continue reading »
Today I am content. I am going to bed in a few minutes, and my dining room/kitchen, which is what I will see first when I get up in the morning, looks like this: It’s been a disaster, you know. If you’ve been reading very long, you really do know. I posted a picture once … Continue reading »

It’s hot. Have you noticed? I dislike using my oven when it’s hot, but we wanted pizza! I use my grill and slow cooker as much as possible during the summer, and had been contemplating trying pizza on the grill. Kojo Design’s post on grilled pizza sealed the deal. I made two pizzas, one on … Continue reading »

For the moment, I just want to remind myself … Continue reading »
My children are constantly creating works of art, and of course they want them displayed! There’s only so much 3-year-old artwork I want to hang in my living room, but I want them to feel that I value their talents and effort. The most recent solution to this dilemma? This fish wall art! I’ve had these … Continue reading »
We live near the beach now, and are taking advantage of it; we try to spend a full week each year enjoying a relaxing vacation there. The island we stay on is made up of private rentals; no hotels! All have fully-functioning kitchens, which I love, because I get tired of eating out very … Continue reading »
