The Jungle Fort

The Jungle Fort is complete! How cool is this thing? As you can see, we went with the curvy slide. Next, hubby is going to work on a little picnic table for Keely and then, we're going to go about embellishing this baby up!   Unfortunately, it won't be long until the heat and mosquitos […]

pillow talk

We've had two of these basic, floppy, hand-me-down, floor pillows for awhile now. They've been well used, even though they match NO room of our house. I had recently kicked and shoved stuffed them ever so gently inside of Keely's playtent because I was tired of looking at their pink stained selves. Well, I finally […]

Matchy-matchy

Howdy all! We all were sick for the entire weekend (what fun!) and by Monday were starting to feel better. The good news is, I think we will survive.   Thank you again for all your nice comments. I finally got around to making the matching pillow and blanket for THE playtent. I'm sure the cat […]

in light of recent developments…

Hubby came rushing home from work an hour after he left this morning because there was an addition to the sickness that was subsiding…..spewing. lovely.  He's taken to bed for the day. Keely was fine yesterday, but […]

Psycho-thrift-grams

Thank you for all your get well quick wishes! We still have fevers (and the addition of coughing and coughing and coughing) and just are not feeling well. But did that stop me from making a quick jump to the thrift store? Noooooooo.  We did spend the rest of the day and evening laying around […]

wah

Well crud. Keely has a fever and I'm sick with some sinus thing and my mind is occupied, so there isn't the least bit of crafting going on around here. And how much orange juice can one human drink in hopes of fighting off sickness? I don't even like the stuff! I like it even […]

from the idea file

I ripped out this page from Real Simple 11/05 (It's not illegal to use the picture if I reference it right?) issue during our lazy weekend on the porch. I immediately thought of that sushi bag that Stardust Shoes made and obviously, of all you knitters. Isn't this a neat idea?  I don't knit, but […]
