easter cookie mania.

Posted on April 14, 2022April 30, 2022by sarah

spring break this year happened to be the week before easter, which meant that holden and fam were able to join us in some of our easter traditions and activities. one such tradition in this house involves an overkill of spring themed sprinkles and the decorating of easter cookies. with hazel down for the count, […]

giving thanks in batavia.
not so much in buffalo.

Posted on November 28, 2021December 1, 2021by sarah

when we put the older two kids in school, we knew it would mean that we would have to give up our vacation scheduling freedom, and that we would have to work around the school schedule. fortunately, for some reason, they had off the entire week of thanksgiving, so we didn’t have to cram in […]

hexie i-spy quilt for the toddler nephew.

Posted on November 23, 2021December 1, 2021by sarah

my baby brother’s baby is no longer a baby, but an actual full fledged toddler. two and a half and super curious. perfect conditions for a big kid i-spy quilt. i opted for big hexagons, similar to the matchy hexie quilts i made for the girls years ago. i didn’t use a pattern or tutorial. […]

Posted on June 27, 2020May 15, 2021by sarah

as previously mentioned, in my letchworth post, a couple of weeks ago, the lidkids and i loaded up to head to batavia, to visit my mom, and break up the monotony of the quarantine. the drive was remarkably uneventful. we stopped twice. both time with little fanfare. and there was no traffic and smooth sailing.
