John, Emma and Tigger, after Daddy got home from work (John was getting caught up on the news and Emma was sputtering and babbling away, with Tigger just along for the ride)

praying for my … neighbors
Yesterday John and I watched a slip of paper slide through the space between our door and the jam. It was a notice from the apartment management stating that there had been a complaint of domestic disturbance and arguing coming from our apartment. I felt terrible. Not because we are guilty (John and I have NEVER raised our voices toward each other {that is, unless you count “watch out!”} and I never use absolutes unless they are absolutely true. Ever)…
wedding road trip
A close friend got married in Michigan last weekend, and, since John was unable to go to the wedding, his mom (VERY graciously – thank you!!!!) offered to drive with me and Emma.So, here are a few pictures from the weekend: must start with these. of course. because there is an adorable baby in them. and a handsome brother-in-law. and it was the start of the trip.

But still, it was pretty fun to see something similar to what I made on Boden’s site! By the way, Boden is currently having a sale of 25% off everything on their site, plus free shipping. Just so you know. header photo curtesy of http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Baby-Dresses.html

Rather, the machine thinks it’s hungry for thread, trys to chew it and then doesn’t like it and spits it back out. “Bad sewing machine! Bad!” I think I have figured out the issue, though, so things should be up and running again shortly.
bit about the market
french country It’s been a rainy-ish afternoon, and since it’s been fairly quiet too I’ve slowly been adding more to the market blog and site – there are some very lovely things posted over there! So …. if you have a free moment or two, you might enjoy browsing.
