The boys have been battling a summer cold over the last few days. We desperately need more hankies in the house, so I’m in the process of sewing some up using my flannel scraps for extra softness. I also thought I’d take a moment to make a little hankie dispenser within the boys’ reach. Shamelessly, [...]

I’ve felt quite neglectful when it comes to ‘homing’ up our space. Nary a window has curtains; there’s not a rug to be found, save the bathrooms. It all takes time, I know. Our living room is especially bare-boned with only a couch, loveseat, chair, and antique sideboard turned changing table. There’s also a fireplace, [...] Finally! You’ll no longer hear me whine and complain about my old machine and I being at odds. I still haven’t decided if I should bury it or donate it, but I have no intentions of ever using it again. I want to extend the warmest welcome to my new Janome MC6600. This machine should more [...] Hello! I hope my fellow Americans had a wonderful fourth of July weekend. We stayed around the house this year, enjoying each other’s company and working on some crafty things that had been on hold for this reason or that. The craft we completed on Independence Day is the one I want to share with you today. [...] As an ode to Jackson Pollock, and because I have an empty wall space in need of some art, we did some action painting with the boys this weekend. I was so excited for this. From picking up random items for texture and interest to telling the boys that they were encouraged to get as [...] Aidan’s silhouette I am constantly in awe of the women in my life. I have been so fortunate to be able surround myself with so many amazing mothers. Some, I see weekly. I talk to some daily. Others, I see less often, but still have their presence in my life. The ones I’ve grown [...] Did you know that Spring is officially over in Houston? It is HOT here already! The other day the temperature gauge nearly touched 100. Heck, it may have in some parts of the city. We’ve been doing what we can to keep cool, but still get a bit of nature in our days. Recently, we [...] Ollie’s Easter basket
We had our little family celebration a little late this year (and last, I think) because we were off celebrating with out of state family over the weekend. Today, I finally gave the boys their baskets which included pajamas, books, and a sew ‘n’ sew for Oliver and lacing [...] Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not known for my timeliness. I do try, but sometimes I get over ambitious or life just gets in the way. It makes me laugh to see that I bought this fabric way back in April of 2009! I had this project in mind for a very long [...] I woke up this morning and had the urge to visit the beautiful morning light that adorns my craft space. As I ascended the stairs (to heaven? :p), I could even smell the sweet scent of that beauty. Let me explain… Hyacinths with a bloom from a cyclamen peeking out from behind . There were [...] |
