I'm still addicted to knitting socks. I'm on my seventh pair! These are my smallest pair yet because they're for my four year old. Here's a couple of pictures. The brown pair is my husband's, the tweed pair is my dad's. Now on to what I found interesting this week on the internet. This post …
We've had a busy week - two birthdays, I started a fleece quilt and nearly finished it already (for myself), designed a Legos game with my daughter for the birthday boy, I'm trying my hand at knitting a pair of socks without a formal pattern, lots of snow for the children to play in, started …
We've survived our first week back at school after the holiday break. This was such a nice holiday time for us because my husband had both weeks off. We eased back into school by just going full steam ahead. I've also gone back full time to the "Trim Healthy Mama" (THM) diet. I have to …
Taking a break from school - life is wonderful! We're all in full swing of making gifts for each other. There's sewing and digital paper crafting, cardboard crafts and baking. Plus we were recently given the game "Skip-Bo" and have had many happy games the past few weeks. I've also nearly finished my third pair …
Last week we had family friends visiting us for the week so obviously not much was accomplished here other than keeping everyone fed and talking, talking, talking. It was so good to visit with our friends. They have three boys, and all of our children get along with them. There were games, laughter, lots of …
So the sore throat that I had last week has been passed along to all of my children. We've had a quiet week doing what school work we could and getting ready for friends this weekend. We don't often get to visit with these friends so we're hoping to all be healthy by the time …
In many ways this has been a long, difficult week. It started with a sore throat Sunday night. For days I've been dosing myself with colloidal silver, oil of oregano, ibuprofen and lots of hot, hot tea. I think I'm finally back to normal. Then there were plumbing issues which left us without water most …
This has been a quiet, busy week at home sewing and reading. My youngest boys for some reason have been playing with my button box a lot this week. It's so funny to watch them assign identities to the different buttons. I only just recently realized that I'm an introvert. I suspected this but wasn't …
We've had a good week. My husband and I started the week with our 18th anniversary on Sunday. My husband had the week off, and we enjoyed lots of family time. On Thursday my husband took me to Ikea. I love wandering around Ikea and getting ideas. We bought some curtains and a lamp that …
My two youngest daughters and I started a fleece quilt this week. I had mountains (almost literally) of leftover fleece from numerous projects. I cut it all into five inch squares, and they started sewing nine-patch squares. Fleece is such an easy fabric for a beginner sewist to work with. When I saw this post …
