Mother’s Day 2010 It will only be the three of us for a little longer.Mimi (John’s mom, Teri) plans to come and pick up Emma when we give her a call, and then wait to hear.It may be soon.It may be in a few days.Either way, we are treasuring the last few days being just us three.
Father’s Day is June 20th this year. How are you planning to celebrate? My family usually tried to get up ahead of Dad and make breakfast to serve to him in bed before we all headed out the door for church. Then we’d come home, BBQ a late lunch and take naps in the hammocks afterwards. Or some variation on that theme! The celebration always included BBQ and an afternoon nap. :) The BBQ apron in my shop would make…
Bloom Pin Just a friendly little reminder – almost all the stuff I have listed on Etsy is ready made and can be shipped out quickly. Just so you know. :)
Today is Baby #2’s due date. And we’re just hangin’ out, waiting. Yesterday, to keep myself occupied (and my mind off of the fact that I wasn’t in labor), I pulled out some of the fabric that I bought back in March, and finally turned the green and pink pieces into a summery dress/tunic top for Emma. She is wearing it today and loving it! Today, as long as the sewing machine is out, I might finish up a few…
After knitting for my babies, husband, siblings and friends, I finally took time to make something just for me: the adult version of Elizabeth Zimmerman’s February Sweater. I used just over 3 balls of Caron’s Country merino blend in “foliage” and am so happy with how it knitted up! The merino has a silky sort of drape to it, and, while warm, is light enough to be perfect in an air conditioned building this summer. I also really love the…
close-up of a project for Baby#2 I am comfortable on the floor. Especially when I’m doing paper crafting. Scrapbooking …… I use a table for that, but only because you really need a firm surface to work on. If we had wood floors I’d probably do that on the floor too!I like the floor because: I can see everything. There’s enough space to have it all spread out around me, and I can reach it. On the table I tend…
After about a week of working on it, off and on, I finished Baby’s basket last night. I’ve been wanting to have a Moses basket for our babies, but just haven’t been wanted it badly enough to fork over $70 (or more, depending on sales and the company I was looking at). So, when I was walking through Walmart one day and saw this basket for $5 in their home decorating section, I decided to try to make/line my own….
66 degrees (supposed to get to 86) with 91% humidity. And I am hot.When the humidity here gets over, oh, about 50% I seem to loose my ability to cool down. Maybe because of all the extra fluid in my body?It’s on mornings like this, where I wake up around 5 already sweating and then try to get back to sleep, that I feel as if I’m going to be pregnant forever. That I’ll always be this hot, this awkward,…
I have been blessed by a wonderful set of in-laws. They have welcomed me into their family with open arms, and I am so grateful. (David sent me a couple of the C&B napkins for Mother’s Day – thanks so much!!!) I found the recipe for the muffins above in a box of my Grandma Jacobsen’s old handwritten recipes. It doesn’t look like her or her sister’s handwriting, so maybe it’s from a friend (of course, it could be her’s…
This is so exciting for me: two blogs have featured my projects! Last Sunday Prudent Baby featured the watercolor silhouette that I made for Mother’s Day and this morning Along For The Ride featured the hanging votive holders. Really, it’s so fun to click over to a site and see a photo of your project and a link to your blog. :DLadies, thanks for featuring me!
