Grateful for pets…even when they pass away. They are great teachers of the “circle of life”. This was Porky, may he rest in peace. He was so named due to his love of food and his capacity to consume it. He […]
Grateful for warm weather! This past week it has been so nice and warm. Very unseasonably warm. We had the windows and doors open to air out the house, and the kids exposed their skinny little legs. Anya couldn’t wait […]
Upon finally wearing this dress for more than just a few pictures for me, Anya decided she rather liked it. It is a comfy twirly dress, with the added bonus of a big flower. I rather like it, as well. […]
I am still attempting to perfect my pattern for the sleeveless, stretch cotton shirt. I redrew the pattern, adding more to the bust, but added it too high up. Of course! Thankfully, I only cut out one with that pattern. […]
Anya’s upcoming 1st Grade Performance is apparently going to be “How does your garden grow”. I think this would be a great dress for her to wear to it, with all the spring colors and flowers. She told me she […]
Grateful for…learning. Kailan has been having an issue with studying his words. He obviously didn’t look at them at all on the first week, which should be readily apparent. We worked him most nights at dinner that next week. I should […]

I don’t think it is any surprise that I like to make my own patterns most of the time. This saves me money in the grand scheme of my sewing, but it also saves a bit of frustration. I […]
Grateful for our last pretty snowfall. It’s the last one, right?? *crossing fingers* Grateful that I passed on the wonderful skill of sticking your tongue out while you concentrate. She’s shown to be a stellar concentrater. 😉 Unpictured gratefulness from […]
This outfit is sorta from something she picked out of a catalog (Garnet Hill). She wanted some shorts and a top, but I did them in different colors and slightly different styles. The shorts are linen, so they should breathe […]
Pinterest is a great place to find and keep recipes. These are a few recipes that I tried and what I think of them… Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Tortilla soup I made it mostly the way she did, but I subsituted […]
Well, it was more sewing for Anya this week. This first one is a “sorta” tiered-maxi skirt for her out of fabric that I have had in my stash for quite awhile. I made a maternity skirt out of it, […]
