Two owl cards were made. Which one looks better? The fruit stamps for Keely's grocery bag got some touching up too. Does this count as crafting? Yeah, it does for me. The gloomy,windy, rainy morning has left and now the sky is a perfect cheery blue. The Kinderbot is napping (ever so briefly). That's it […]

Crafting
Whelp, here is a slightly more interesting rice bag. Not too bad. However, the bobbin is out of thread now. EGATS! I didn't attempt at fiddling with that with Keely around. She had to sit on my lap while I sewed the little patch on. Oy!
Yumminess
Gingerbread muffins have been made. They are good. A little dollop of whipped cream on top. Oh the joy. The little one even liked the sampled one. Maybe she can eat one for dinner since she eats little else, huh?
Accomplishments
The sewing machine came out of the box, bobbins were threaded and sewing was done. Frankenbags were made. Okay, they aren’t too bad for the first thing ever to be sewn in this house. Everyone seems to enjoy them. The next batch will be only filled with rice (beans are to hard and heavy) and […]

Will she […]

Something to smile about.
How cute is this baby? She’s ours. We’re hers. Hard to believe that that was just over two years ago. Seems like so long ago. I guess that’s why it’s hard to keep in my head that she is only 2 1/2 and her temper tantrums and other undesirable behavior are to be expected. She […]
This mouse was stirring.
Cute as a dancing mouse, but obviously a sick little girl-runny nose, red and glassy eyes. Poor girl.
and so it begins…
Well, here she is. The almost cheapest, hopefully easiest sewing machine to be had. I have no idea how to use it. The manual might as well be in Arabic. I am clueless. Perhaps within oh…a month I will be able so sew something. This blog could end up being a diary of the mundane […]
