This shirt is one that I sewed up at the retreat.  I copied it off a RTW shirt that I had in my closet that was getting faded and had some holes in the front.  I had it all cut […]

Our flowers are flowering, and the fish are feasting on all the dang algae that is growing in the pond. I just wish we saw more bees…there do not seem to be as many around the flowers this year.  Having read […]

I had a great time at the Sewing Mamas retreat this past weekend.  Bonus: it was pretty close to me, whereas most everyone else had to drive far or fly in for it.  We went shopping at SR Harris, and I […]

With all the rain, there is no doubt the flowers have been happy here. Tonight Kai is playing in the Championship game for baseball.  Hopefully, he gets to pitch again (he pitched the first two innings of the last two […]

Last Thursday I had a minor surgery, so I was trying to take it easy over the weekend.  I was a bit tired out from the surgery and was not supposed to lift anything heavy.  I did get a chance […]

A few of the fireworks from this weekend when we went up north and “camped” in an RV with family.  It was fun, and the kids got to go fishing and have smores, so all is good in the world. […]

Shannon invited me to participate in the Breeze Top pattern tour, and I just couldn’t say no!  Of course, Anya has her own opinions and I wasn’t sure she would be as thrilled as I.  Fortunately, she liked the style […]

Today I am over at Gracious Threads for her Embellish is for Boys series with this outfit for Kai. Notice how dry our backyard is in this photo?  Yeah…that is SO NOT THE CASE right now.  I am guessing we […]

The camp that the children go to for a few weeks over the summer has a tie dye activity.  Every. Single. Week. Really, how many tie dye t-shirts does a kid need?  Kai already did a tie-dyed t-shirt as part […]
