A Local Encounter

I stood up quickly, self consciously caught in the act. I felt the

Steps to a Vista

My confidence waivered by the navigational misstep in getting us to our morning destination. The first few boot steps were then filled with trepidation; sorted out by my

Arts & Crafts with Baby C

Armed with one round of experience in the Arts and Crafts Time we struck out again. It’s a time sensitive project that will, like a lot of our end results, be treasured for years. This though is not a building project but rather an arts and crafts creation.

Baby C is now 8 weeks old and so it was time to do his footprints. We had left over supplies from doing the Little A’s when she was a bambino. Her she is “helping” us organize them!

One never ends up with a happy baby with their feet squished in plaster but it’s worth a few minutes worth of tears!

Just over 2 years since we did her footprints. She seemed to be in a bit of disbelief that these were her little feet. Now they are these long slender feet that her momma inherited from her gramma.

The finished product makes my heart fill with joy whenever I glance upon it. So blessed and so grateful and very pleased that their parents were ok with me to share the photos.

A rabbit hole

I do live just down the road from a few rabbits so it’s entirely possible that I did fall in one of their homes. But no, that’s not the kind of rabbit hole I found.

It all started with an innocent enough comment. Really it was but then it became more. Oh no, this rabbit hole is

Start Over

In the last two days I have started and deleted two blog posts. They both seemed so superficial in light of the tragic events in the world

Hands down the best part of my new routine is Friday. That’s Nan and

WIP

WIP stands for, in the quilting world, a Work In Progress. Which is different than a UFO, which stands for an Unfinished Object. I think the analogy to life here is quite fitting so read on as it’s not a quilting blog!
