Since I had surgery on my foot on the Friday before Christmas, we pretty much stayed home for the holidays. Firstly, I wanted to share the faces I put on Clementine and Rose, the Black Apple dolls I made for the girls. I decided to go with embroidery and to have the eyes closed since Arden is {…Continue Reading}
I wanted to share a couple of pictures I took of Hadley the day after I built my counter height craft table. She crawled right over and shoved the basket through. And then went through herself. Little stinker! I told her no and she’s left it alone since then. She melts into a little puddle, crying and laying {…Continue Reading}
Are you ready for a photo bomb? We had the opportunity to meet up with my sister in law Jean and her husband Matthew in Chicago while they were there from San Diego, promoting their game company Wiggity Bang Games at the Chicago Toy and Game Fair the weekend before Thanksgiving. If you’re in the market {…Continue Reading}
I’ve had this post saved as a draft for over a month, waiting to do the final photo and collage on the quilt. It’s just not happening, so I’m going to just finish it before I forget what I want to say and come back later if I ever get the collage completed. 1 year. {…Continue Reading}
We could not have asked for a more perfect day to host Hadley’s 1st birthday party in our backyard. 70 degrees and sunny at the tail end of September is a rare treat in Michigan! In keeping with the bird/tree/nature theme I was going for, I decorated with burlap as the table coverings and also {…Continue Reading}
Arden has gained full proficiency on lacing cards, so I thought it was time to introduce her to a new challenge: potholders! I posted a little glimpse in my OMG Skillet Apple Pie post, saying: “We have a family tradition of making potholders – I used to make them and my Mom made them and {…Continue Reading}
We’re on vacation staying in a rental cottage with a nice kitchen. So before we left, I went through my pinned recipes and pulled out a few that I wanted to try. One of them was for individual apple pies made in the apple with a lattice crust. Just one problem – tiny apples. So I {…Continue Reading}
Well, Hadley is ten months old (or… nearly 11 months – at least I’m consistently late!). Capturing her picture on the quilt was literally an aerobic activity this month – every time I got her on it and picked up the camera, she’d roll over and crawl off. Then I’d have to put the camera down so I {…Continue Reading}
We tackled the “tie-dye” item on our summer list at the end of June, so you can see how current I am with posting – ha! I only used my camera phone to document our activities, so pardon the ho-hum photography. This isn’t a sponsored post, but I have to give some props to the {…Continue Reading}
I’ve set my mind to make a list of sorts for summer activities to achieve – nothing new I know, but I’ve never done this before. I started a Pinterest board to gather ideas, and one of them was for these great sponge water bombs: Positively Splendid So being me = somewhat impulsive, I didn’t {…Continue Reading}
