Blue Dress
In my last post I mentioned that I was back in the groove with sewing. There were a few things that had taken me out of the groove… errrr, or that caused me to never actually be IN the groove… namely, my inability to use my machines. I’m embarrassed to admit that both machines had…

Dear Summer,
Thank you for sharing your sunshine. It’s so generous of you. This past week and weekend proved again that summer produces extraordinary fun. It might actually just be ordinary fun, but the warmth and the sun and the life that it brings makes it extra special. This week summer fun came in the form of…

It’s a Jungle Out There
Heat in the 90s. Humidity at 80%. Rain and storms nearly every day. It’s kind of rough on us (well, rough on the dog), but our yard and garden are loving it. We’ve got some serious green going on in our backyard. Plenty of room for fetch AND a lovely garden. Peas and tomatoes fighting…

First Harvest
Sometimes you just have an overabundance of basil. And sometimes you just have to make pesto. The first creation of the season made from fresh picked garden goodies made me eager for more. I can’t wait to see how our garden continues to grow.

Oh, Deer
Last weekend Regan and I headed 90 miles north for a quick visit with my parents. As soon as we arrived, my dad led us over to the creek and showed us a fawn who had been in the same place for two days straight. It was so well behaved, staying in one place, waiting…

Or maybe I’m not
Last post I bragged about how I was really starting something– a new sweater about which I was SO excited. And I was. Until I knit the bust in two nights, tried it on and realized it was too big. It took me a few weeks to get around to ripping it but finally I…

Knitting Again
It’s no secret this winter was a soul-sucker for more people than just myself. I’ve had a hard time shaking it off and getting into the swing of normal life again. It’s still cold, still gloomy and all I’ve wanted to do is wrap myself in a blanket and maintain warmth. This weekend might have…

The Joy of Photo Booth
Photo Booth is the perfect tool for capturing Jack’s frustration at having to live with two completely unreasonable people. Poor animal…

Ridiculous
Why is my husband the best? Because when his friends are down he joins me in creating stupid-fun things for them. Regan created the Mr. T-inspired belly. He also helped me pick out the gold jewelry at the local hardware store, and this week we spent piecing it all together. Joint projects with Regan tend…
Got any book recommendations?
