I don’t have a lot to talk about since we have all been sick for three or four days now. That means a lot of time on the couch watching movies. My kids have all spent many hours sleeping on that couch which is why I have encouraged movie times. It gives them a great [...]

I am sorry to all of my readers (how ever many few there may be) about my absence on the online world. We have been very busy for just about every weekend for the last two months. This has been my first weekend at home and “off” so I am taking some time to update [...]

Here is what my husband has been sewing himself. All of the pieces are made from patterns he drew himself and by his own hands/machine. I am very impressed with his first attempt at making all of his own gear from scratch. This is the front: This is the back:

How nice it was to have some actual free time to do some crafty things. I made three more necklaces today and I also made a new dress for Anna.
