Yesterday I took Keely out to feed some ducks and geese at a nearby garden/park. She was all over the place. She has no fear-running down paths far from me, climbing in weedy, gnarly underbrush…tomboy. She kept walking after the geese in "monster mash style"—arms outstretched or maybe it's "Night of the Living […]

Quick Crafts Vol. ?
*Most of these are geared to the little ones: Did you see Wee Wonderful's spool animals? So cute. I though making these for a nativity scene or even some barnyard creatures for your kiddos to play with would be dandy.How 'bout some characters from your kids favorite books? A little Maisy spool? A big red […]
Then large it is.
So last night the hubby had to get some tools for working on the playset. He dropped Keely and I off next door at Target so we could get a few household things. We were done getting what we needed and still waiting for the father and the car to return, so I decided to […]
yardage
I may rename this blog "The Couch" as in the shrinks couch. Since I'm airing all my craziness around here. What do ya think? You all are so much cheaper than a therapist. Thank you again for your input. Please note that I am not stopping crafting. I just have to stop trying to obsess […]
Playdough recipe
When moving my old post over I came across my first playdough post and saw that someone had asked for the recipe. I never saw that comment before so I didn't reply. Sorry. I made a new batch of tie-dyed looking blue playdough yesterday and thought I'd give out the recipe now for those of […]

Cheerio Necklace
For breakfast we made cheerio necklaces. She was quite pleased with this project. I didn't think she'd be able to put the cheerios on the plastic string, but she was! It would be prettier with sugary cereal, but we don't have any of that stuff around here. If you do this, be prepared for the […]
needy buttons
I found a site that has all these silly little buttons to add to your blog. The one I mentioned before with the grouchy grandma saying, "Would it kill ya to leave a comment?" is there too. They are all basically for the comment hungry bloggers. Like me. uh hum. Anywho, even if you can't […]
photos. glorious photos.
Well, I warned you…picture overload coming at ya. You'll be pleased to know that I have upgraded my FlickR account so I can store all my photos over there and stop splattering them all over the blog. Wait. I'll still bombard you with them here, but I'll just put MORE over there. K? Here are […]
My new baby and a tax re-FUN!
Isn't she beautiful? A Nikon D50 and she's all mine. I haven't named her yet, but I sure do love this baby.She sleeps through the night and is not fussy at all. We are not being very responsible with our tax refund this year, obviously! Suuuure we've got $1,000's and $1,000's in student loans and […]
