Trying to save the day….
My daughter screamed her head off for most of the night, which means we're all a little tired today… Cranky, out-of-sorts, unhappy.So I managed to get both to nap at the same time, and now I'm getting stuff done.Collected the eggs (lovely and speckled), baked some bread, mixed up a new batch, and then made […]
My new ironing board!
My ironing board was sooooo dirty (old example with quilt blocks), so I ripped it apart (and saved the edge), got some insul-bright and some silver “ironing board cover” fabric, and put it all together. It’s awesome. Soooo sooo awesome.

Sunhat for a baby with a big head.
D’s head is already bigger than mine,(he’s outgrown his adult small bike helmet already), so it’s hard to find sunhats that are appealing, age apropriate, and will fit him.

Ahhhh, bliss….
It’s a lovely picnic-y day here in San Pedro. The perfect day for a Busy Bee sandwich and a picnic at Averil Park. The perfect day for my mother to walk the children down to the duck pond so I can admire the rubber trees and get a little bit of stitching done.
My shirt..

I’m working on bday pressies for my sister. Her birthday is in April. Depending on the website I refer to, her birth flower is either the daisy or the sweet pea. So, I decided to do 1 of each. I found an old daisy papercut stencil from Martha Stewart living (at least 5 years ago), […]
