new spaces /new year: the living room

January 16, 2012 Art

Ah, the living room.  Once a place of no functional space now brightens my day.  This corner of our room (where our Christmas tree stood) has always baffled me.  Our large painting has always hung here, leaving little options for filling up the space around it: maybe a plant or a chair.  It has always [...]

raw adventure

January 6, 2012 Family

We recently spent $3 on three bags of corn at a fly fishing shop next to Boiling Springs Lake.  Of course I fought Bobby on it, trying to convince him that the kids could still have fun in the freezing cold by walking around the lake and not feeding the ducks.  (I’m not always a party [...]

While some are getting healthier and others are just getting sick, there has been some time to flop down on the couch for sticker books and weaving with the healthier girls.  Whether myself or my children, sickness always makes me flop down on the couch when I would otherwise be running around in my usual [...]

homemade giving: a journal kit

December 15, 2011 Art

Caroline is ready for her first journal.  This is quite an exciting milestone since her mother filled easily 15 journals in her lifetime.  I can’t wait for her to discover the fulfillment of writing and then reading and seeing who she’s become over time.

homemade giving: artsy felt sketchbook cover

December 5, 2011 Art

After last week which was filled with wonderful visitors (friends from college and their little toddlers), this weekend came and granted me some time away at the sewing machine.  Saturday morning, Johanna warded off Caroline from the basement so we could get moving on her present from her sister.  A little something that we knew [...]

early mornings

November 9, 2011 Doing Good

How is daylight savings going in your home?  Mornings sure start early over here. I find myself looking for me time again since it definitely isn’t happening in the morning.  Precisely when I begin sneaking out of bed is when half drowsy children begin bounding in the room.
