Applique Block :: Bunny
So, it’s like this. I love bunnies. I love them when are all tiny and cute and I love them when they are all grown up. We even invite rabbits into our yard. In our greenbelts, we keep piles of brush mounded high. Makes a perfect place for rabbits to raise their young. At dawn …

It’s the first day of summer vacation. What to do, what to do? Best answer… EVERYTHING. Michelle and the wee ones came over yesterday after lunch, and a couple of their friends soon joined.

Sand Sculptures
As the children of bloggers, our wee ones have sometimes suffered through and other times benefited from their position.

Actually, since they’ve been incessantly photographed …

Restoring Order to the Gnome Home
Our building project not only had an effect on our lives, but our poor gnomes also felt the strain. They were “put up high” on our dry sink, hoping to keep them safe from the work crews and general disarray. One day, I walked into the living room, actually, it was more like blazing a …

This weekend we are excited to be working with Sarah’s Silks to offer our readers another awesome give-away. My children have “grown up” draped in Sarah’s Silks.
