No more trees. I've been doing nothing but trees it seems. Keely has been having fun playing in her little forests. Here are most of the gift sets. They are a little topsy-turvy there because they don't have weights in the bottoms yet. After making 20 or so of these guys I started worrying that […]

Multiplying Trees and Kitten Mittens!
Alrighty, I've been a sewing fool. The trees have multiplied. I'm working on making some sets of 3 for Christmas gifts. Sewing things for other people is kind of hard-what colors to choose and all the other personal-ish decisions to obsess over. I've got many more to make. I'm going to need much more stuffing […]
Thanks and Thanksgiving
A big thank you to one of my sweet readers, Jennifer. She doesn't have a blog, perhaps she should? Anyway. I wanted to show you all the fabulous goodie box she sent me to cheer me up last week. Do you see all of this stuff? She put so many thoughtful things in there for […]
Hemming and tape bracelets!
I hemmed my first pair of pants. This is huge. Oh, don't you so what? me! You don't know how hard it is for me to find a pair of pants that fit me nicely and that I like. If I do find a nice fit, they are almost always a foot too long. I'm […]
I was there, they were there…
What was I supposed to do? TWO short, little, chunky chairs for $3. I could not stop myself. So what? We have a few (cough, cough) too many chairs in our house. You hushie upppie husband. Also, look at this. It's a little vintage doll changing table! ACK! Killing me with cuteness. Keely rarely […]
Soaking Steve
The following are things I would have previously scrapped about, but here is the new blog method. Keely has started using the word "soaking" all the time. She does not use it in the correct way though. She uses it to mean "too" as in, "too much". Mommy, it is soaking hot in here! Oh, […]
returning, a house, and being still
Hi there. Doing a little bit better over here, getting myself together. I'm still working on making some changes in my life and forcing myself into better habits. It's a process. More on this another day…maybe. Last weekend we took a little road trip to look at a different farmhouse, not the antebellum one. On […]
thank you
Thank you so very much for all your supportive comments and emails. They really mean a lot to me. You all had me crying. I mean, I was already, but still… Anyway, I think I've responded to everyone and again, I really appreciate your kindness. I'm off the blog (I'll still check emails) for maybe […]
Onward searching and recording…
I heard back from the house people on Friday. They said the could only show the house during normal working/weekday hours. Very helpful. They did send me some more photos of the house and some other information though. All I can say is "YIKES!" The house was in terrible shape. Trees, vines and other things […]
colds, cold, and a house trip?
Sugar maple leaves are my favorite. So, the poor girl's stinking cold started to go away and now it seems it is back, with all the joyous crankiness. Thanks. The weather has also returned to chillier fall appropriate temperatures and I have turned into an old woman. Something is wrong with my body temperature regulator […]
