On April 14, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Uncategorized2 Comments

This is another favourite hymn of mine. There is something here for any kind of comfort you need.

More than once when I've …

A Simple Baby Blanket

On April 10, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Baby, Sewing6 Comments

The title says that this is a simple baby blanket. That is true, but that does not mean it's also fast. I estimate that I worked on this blanket for twenty to twenty-two hours. The work was all simple though - the kind of work that you can do while watching a movie. First, I picked …

On April 5, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Uncategorized2 Comments

We've had a couple of days off as a family, and I've been doing a lot of reading. I've mostly been re-reading some old favourites, but I've also been enjoying a Louis L'Amour book and started one called The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo by Tom Reiss. I love …

This has been a good week. We took our March break this week because it's when my husband had a week off of work. It's been nice to relax and hang out with family. We went away for a couple of days and enjoyed our time away. Now I feel ready to dig in and …
