i am so excited about this quilt. i had seen a lot of “scrappy trip along” quilts on the internets, but didn’t love them. they seemed way too busy to me. until i happened upon this one. i have been hoarding low volume prints for awhile and knew that this would be the perfect use […]
this is just how i blog now.
i know when i’ve been defeated. i can admit it. posting once every week or so, and just throwing up a bunch of captioned pics seems to be the way things are going now. and i’m ok with it. this blog post will be no different. it goes back about two and a half weeks […]
30 weeks.
tomorrow, i will be 30 weeks of pregnant. 10 left. to derek, that’s 10 weekends left to get things together and ready, because it gets a little crazytown after that. plus we have the added bonus of trying to get christmas shopping, wrapping and decorating done, mostly for the two previously existing kiddos. anyhow, i’m […]
catching up. again. sigh.
once again, i find myself not doing well with this whole keeping up with my blog. so, here’s another conglomeration of instagram pictures and some that didn’t make the instagram cut. detailing our life in the last few weeks. this cute girl LOVES to draw. i love it. i was the same way. i remember […]
labor day mountain weekend
derek’s parents invited us up to blue ridge village for a labor day weekend in the mountains. it was good timing, because isaac’s first week of school was a little rough. for him and me. and, we didn’t accomplish as many items from our summer to do list as i had hoped, and this little […]
mug rug swap
there’s not much to report lately. in any part of my world. but, mostly in my quilty-crafty world. the quilt dungeon is a lonely place lately. but, last month, my guild had a mug rug swap. we were supposed to bring a mug and a coordinating mug rug and we would pretty much blindly select […]
first grade. first day.
our summer came to a screeching halt this past sunday night and on monday morning, we were thrown back into the world of packing lunches, rushing to get ready in the morning, checking homework folders, car pick up lines and stop light behavior management plans (“were you on green today??”)… isaac requested that he wear […]
our boring summer…
not much exciting happening over here. we’ve had the girls a lot, which limits our ability to get out and about. and drains us for our days off, so that we wind up just lounging around a lot. needless to say, our to do list hasn’t even been dented. here’s some noteworthy (sort of) pictures […]
anna’s portraits…
the annababy is becoming quite a little artist. her potato people have transformed and she’s including so many little details. and big details – like bodies. 🙂 here’s some that i’ve managed to capture on digital media before she destroys or erases it… a portrait of foofa, plex, and toodee. in chalk. here are foofa, […]
little apples for baby three.
when we decided to go for baby number three, i knew that i wanted to make a quilt with little apples. for one, it’s mostly gender neutral. and i loved it. and a fat quarter bundle was on super good sale on etsy. so, here we are, anticipating baby number three in four months or […]
