our second week at letchworth was a little more low-key than the first. after all of the weekend campers cleared out, we took over the bathroom to get this grubby kid all cleaned up. since the showers only blast scalding hot water, we opted for the sink. we went to warsaw, to laurie’s diner or […]

the anna baby is SIX!!
well, the anna baby is six now. i suppose we should stop calling her a baby. nah. anyhow, her birthday festivities were much more chill than last year. (hint: princess anna and elsa came). we had hoped to have a little park play day and birthday cake for all of her friends and some of […]
our first weeks of homelessness.
after our yard sale, we spent a couple of days getting the rest of the stuff cleared out of the house (which mostly consisted of paying our painters some extra cash to get stuff out of the house). and the following monday, we left for a local thousand trails campsite. here is the official “we […]
our last days in a house.
i was going to try to categorize this blog into several different blogs. one for “prepping to move out”, one for “easter eggs”, one for “hazel pottytrains”…. but, i’m just going to glob it all together here, and be all caught up, and move on with my life… here goes… on the night we arrived […]

a quilt for CA.
at some point in november, i finished up a little patchwork quilt for my friend allison’s daughter. i think she’s planning to give it to her as a christmas gift. i don’t have much to say about it. it’s patchwork. it’s girly. i hid a few little surprises in the fabric choices, like a frozen […]
