  • Like many of you all I want to do these days is cuddle my girls. Never have I appreciated their funny faces, Tuesday’s silly sayings, and Bennet’s middle of the night wakings as much as I do now. I can’t stop thinking about the school shooting in Connecticut. Things like this tend to stick in my head, and it’s all I can do not to feel overwhelmed by the thoughts of what if, how can we change, what can we do.

    I find myself glad that I don’t have to explain anything because they are so young and innocent. If only I could keep them in a bubble, I think. But I know that does more harm than good. So for now I am just enjoying absolutely everything about them, and trying not to roll my eyes when Tuesday screams (and screams) because her hair is caught in the carseat strap.

    Back with some fun little projects soon.

  • Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life.

  • What a fun December we’ve had so far, it’s gone too quickly. I’ll be back with some of the projects and activities we’ve been working on, but I wanted to give you a heads up that I finally listed some quilts up on Etsy. I had to wait for daylight + no rain + no children. A rare combo. I didn’t think I was going to get any daylight this week, it’s been so very dark, but the clouds were thin today and I made it work. Here are a few of my favs.

    This one is actually earmarked for my photographer friend Angela She picked a different quilt and I just listed this one! I love the fabric on the back. So happy she’s getting this one.

    Another back that I love:

    It’s a Pottery Barn duvet I bought and took apart, I love the little bits of text throughout.

    And the front:

    I so love my labels.


    I wanted to do something special since it took me a while to get these up. I’m offering free shipping until December 19th – and it will get to you in time for Christmas! Here is another link to my shop!
