Do you like the new header? I thought it was time for something a bit more professional looking…you know I didn’t make it! keep reading…
Work on the store has taken a fair bit of what free-time I have had this week. Free-time that seemed to be near nothing with working a couple shifts and a [...]

homeschool in spring
Posted in homeschool, tagged art, handwritting, home school, language arts, latin, math, reading, science, spelling on March 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It is that time of year when the weather breaks. The girls want to get outdoors, I want to get outdoors. y garden list is growing, their must-do list has grown all winter. When you homeschool, the draw to get outside is unbelievable! Don’t get me wrong, we will still likely get our late March and [...]
what’s for supper

Has anyone else been absolutely stumped when it comes to what to cook for supper lately? I think it is all the sewing, but I am beyond un-inspired when it comes to meals as of late. I did stop sewing this weekend for a much needed home clean-sweep. Isn’t funny how once you get started it is [...]

(just to calm any fears, joys, etc. that anyone may be having…no we are not adopting again…so far it is just the six of us and one crazy spoiled ShihTzu)
I LOVE my clothesline. If I only used it for sheets I would still be happy, but it gets more use than that. My dear, dear friend [...]
I have to share

I feel bad for reader’s looking for raw milk articles, ferments, and handcrafted butter or bread. Those posts are there, please search if that is what you are looking for. As of late, though, I have re-discovered my love of sewing. It satisfies the creative and practical side of me in one fell swoop. I can’t [...]
this darn weather

It happens to me every spring and fall, for some reason this year is the worst it has been in awhile. My sinus are on an all-out revolt. At times this will last a few weeks, but it has now passed a month. The early thaw, combined with snow afterwards, then warm weather again followed [...]

Chapter 7: Daddy vs. Nancy Drew
So, I saw this game online that looked interesting. Nancy Drew and the Haunted Carousel (and to make it legal, it’s by HER Interactive, available now, online at www.herinteractive.com).
Anyway, I could get a free 1-hour trial. I like mystery games, so I thought, “Why not?” Long story short, [...]

Yesterday and today, my mom and I have been sewing. We went to the big city (not just a big city, but The big city around these parts) on Friday to see what we could find. We left with enough fabric, patterns, and trim to make 11 items, plus I have two items at home that [...]

I am a sewing machine! Ummm, okay, no I am just a dork. But I am sewing quite a bit and loving it. Today, I almost finished the knot dresses (pics below) and cut out a couple of the Miss Lily dresses for the older girls. I then went out to go to my Grandma’s house to sort through [...]
