Well hello there my blogland friends! I hope you had a splendid weekend. I have some pretty snaps of the last few days to share with you! Everything looked so good at the produce store last week, I got very camera happy when I got home. I just noticed one of those plums looks a bit off in the photo. It must just be the water on it and a trick of the light, as they were all very great! … Read more
Just a quick update for you all before I call it a night. It has been a LONG day!
I had a nice Sunday at InsaniTea. I have been trying to kick this virus/bug/thing that I got from the girls, so I asked Ingrid to make me up some of her special tea mix to take home. Even the name makes me feel better!
So, I think it says a lot about how highly I think of the kindness and love my daughters possess that I was able to believe that they emptied and loaded the dishwasher last night. Or maybe it was the virus… Anyway, as it turns out, Doug came home before his Friday night job. His car was acting up, so he dropped it at the mechanic on the corner, and walked home to get my car for the evening. When … Read more
OK, I’m am nearly in *happy* tears. Almost 2 hours ago I made the girls ABCs & meatballs for dinner ~ I was feeling horrible. There has been some stomach virus working through the kindergarten, and it appears to be my turn. I was feeling so bad, so half~way out of it, that I did something I have never done before. I told my 5 year old girls to eat their dinner, then wash their face and hands, then clean … Read more
Sunday morning Kyla wasn’t feeling well. Throughout the day she ended up with a fever and feeling very bad. She slept most of the day away. Here she is sleeping on my lap. Poor dear. I hate when they are sick, but she sure looks sweet, doesn’t she? On Monday morning, Vada wasn’t feeling to well, either, so I kept them both home. Vada spend most of the day on the couch with the emergency sick bowl, just in case. … Read more
I’ve been getting so much done! It is nice to be more streamlined. Yet there is still so much to do. A lot of what I have done over the past week has been behind the scenes stuff. I still have to go through a lot of my old posts from before I made the move over to Wordpress, add in the tech stuff, back up the photos, and fix some links. It’s mind~numbing~ly dull, but it should help get … Read more
Finally!!! I have finished the big commitment that has been holding me back from my patterns and my blog. I had taken a job as a contract crocheter / knitter. Unfortunately the pay was abysmal. I guess it is the nature of the beast. Some designers pay a percentage of what they are getting paid by the publishing company, and some pay by the yard, but either way, it is not good when you divide your pay by the hours your worked. … Read more
How did that happen? I swear someone stole like 3 days from this week…and a week from last month! Oh, well, here are some snaps I have taken over the last week or so. The magnolia tree out back bloomed…and the dropped petals all over the yard. It was kind of pretty mixed with all the dandelions and other little flowers that sprout up in our yard. So colorful. We need to buy a lawn mower. The neighbor’s mint has started taking … Read more
yup it’s quite the story. we got up at 4:30, in the hopes of being out the door to go to the arts & crafts festival by 5:15. everything seemed to be going well, then, just as we were about to leave, i remembered i had printed out an inventory last night, but never got it from the printer. the moment i got to the basement door, i new something was wrong. i could smell water. down the stairs i went, and … Read more
I know, I have neglected my blog and my lovely readers over the past few weeks. I am sorry. First Doug was on break, and we spent the days working around the house (I did at least share a bit of that with you.) Doug still had to go to his second job, but it was nice to have him around during the school day. Then there was a week with no one on break, and me working feverishly to … Read more
