Yesterday Tuesday and I spent all day downtown since our car had to go in for a minor little warranty repair. I told the technician to keep it as long as they wanted – we were two girls on the town! Lunch with Aunt Sciarrino, new boots from a store going out of business ($50 …

Mail that leads to creating
Check it out I made a scrapbook page: detail (I have started perusing scrapbooking blogs again and it seems everyone does this, no?): What prompted this creative outlet? I won a contest over on Vee’s blog and got this: Yum, yum. Which reminded me I did send out the box of Amber: It had a bunch …
Girl plus Food
Tuesday has been hilarious in the eating department lately. At least I find her very amusing. She can be very dramatic. Here she is waiting for dinner at my mom’s. “Ohhh grandma are you fixing me dinner?” “I can’t wait feed me now I might die!” “Do not make fun of my hunger.” Distracted. Thanks …
Easy is good, hard is… hard
I have been attempting some garment sewing. I feel I must show it to you, lest you think I am so fantastic with much besides a straight line. I severely overestimated the size of my daughter, and underestimated the size of the pattern (it’s vintage – who has time to figure those things out?). The …
Curly Sue
Wow, thank you so much for the quilt love! Something tells me I wouldn't get the same response for a black and orange quilt, but I won't take that personally 🙂 I'm sewing up something else now, but it's for a moving human being and it turns out that is much MUCH harder for me, …
Baby Shower in a Box
The happiest of happy mail probably. One of my oldest and dearest friends lives in Vermont. She is almost 8 months pregnant and too far away for my taste. We did always say we were going to live next to each other when we had kids, oh how things change. Good thing cell phones and …
Elimination Communication
I read a bunch of blogs. Probably way to many (I’m working on cutting down my list to favorites right now!). One I read is called Ohdeedoh, an out post of Apartment Therapy. I was looking on there last spring and read a comment from a reader that said in Europe where she is from …
When sleep won’t come…
photo from yesterday’s nap taken on iPhone I just got done putting Tuesday to sleep. It took me three hours. Bj is working late so I got to hear her sing out, “bobbobbobbobbobbob bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bob bob?” This is Tuesday for, “Where are you Bob bob?” I knew she was tired like four hours ago, did …
Design Wall – mini
I have been sewing and generally playing with fabric downstairs. It's great fun until Tuesday decides to mix up my design to suit her tastes! I took an extra piece of foam core board and some flannel I had and whipped up this: Tuesday squeals and runs over to it when she gets downstairs. …
Flippin
I'm sure there is some clever title that is just out of my reach with this one, maybe "straight flippin' yo"? Tuesday has a few new skills. One is carting things all over the house and redistributing them. I find it quite funny to discover old receipts in mixing bowls and clean socks in between …
