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 […]
and on that farm he had a …
So, Monday morning Keely sits down and rocks and feeds her stufffed puppy and then gets a stack of books to read to him. Very cute. She's reading along and then gets to her "Old MacDonald" book. I don't ever read it because it's just WEIRD! The book's weird and the illustrations are even […]
in light of recent developments…
What I said about the household sickness in the earlier post? yeah, scratch that. I spoke too soon. 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 […]
Lily pods and thrifting finds
Two years ago I planted Lily bulbs and they came up beautifully. I was constantly on Keely's case about leaving them alone though. She kept pulling the closed pods off before they even got to bloom. This year, a few have started to bloom, but most of them are still in closed pod stage. She […]

Yeah, yeah…you're in the right place. I'm the one with the toy poodle. What of it? I'll get you Megan! mwah-ha-ha….
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 […]
