Happy (early) birthday to my good friend, Abby! I met Abby through work and I am so glad I did! She’s one of those bright sparks who makes your life better with coffee and good conversation. We’re also knitting buddies! Today, I thought I’d share a peek at how I approach gift giving. Maybe I [...]
Saturday, I had a whole day at home with nothing I had to do, just lots of things I wanted to do. It was so wonderful! In the morning I tidied up and Cors played in the garden while I yanked weeds and re-potted a few plants. In the afternoon, I made a pot of [...]
I hope wherever you are you got to spend New Year’s Eve just the way you wanted to! We had a houseful of friends over and way too much to eat! Joel made his famous pizzas, there were cheese and crackers and crusty breads, sweets and lots of contributions from our pals. After cups of [...]
There’s nothing quite so nice as the feeling of walking in to your own home after long travels. We drove over 1,800 miles in the past ten days, saw pretty things, had lovely times and spent happy hours with family and friends. It’s only too bad that holidays can’t last forever, but tucked up cozy [...]
I hope you’re having a day of fun and laughter and at least a little spookiness! We’re having friends over to devour apple pie and devilishly good cookies. If you’re looking for a good movie for tonight I recommend Sleepy Hollow, that’s what we’ll be watching. Though, I’ll be watching it through my fingers!

She chose the colors, chocolate brown with lavender flowers, and I just love how they look together. I am so pleased with how these turned out! Special thanks to Reallybadkitty for supplying the felt [...]

Last Friday afternoon we explored the Gullies on a photo walk. Our friend Harry. I took Polaroids mostly, but I did take a few digitals: I like how green this one is. Then we went to the lake: Joel and Harry both have lots more photos on the flikrs.
What a crazy week! Last Saturday Joel and I had a really fun shopping trip to St. Louis. We went everywhere and and we found a bunch of outfits that look awesome on him. Sunday Micah and Stephanie came over to help with some house projects. Joel and Micah worked on the floors and Steph [...]
I have mentioned Lauren‘s work before and the prints she is currently selling to raise money for her trip to South Africa. I am very excited because Joel and I just ordered ours: Gorgeous, I can’t wait to hang it! Lauren has another fundraiser coming up July 26th. If you are in the Charleston, WV [...]
