It's after 1 in the morning and I'm taking a break from my painting to write my post for the day.(And to eat some cookies while watching an episode of Oddities. Does anyone else watch that show or am I the only creepy person out there? Wait, don't answer that question.)I love Christmas and I love painting but whatever isn't finished by 5:00 tomorrow just isn't going to get done. That is my cut off and from then on it's baking and wrapping and playing with the kids and NO MORE CRAFTING OR ... View the Post
A Cabo Christmas
I originally posted this on my family blog two years ago...and recently came across it.

Anyone found any cute white knee socks lately?I also am in LOVE with that little white blouse. I sewed it from this vintage pattern but I am plugging away ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking—It’s Time to Bring Back the Experiment
This is a pile of the clothing that I wore the other day---all day---around the house and out in public. And I wore it all together and all at the same time. What was I thinking!!!! It wasn't until I had a visitor drop by the house (which was covered in laundry in various stages of being folded) that I realized how bad I had let things get. Since having baby Ruth almost 3 months ago we've had a lot going on. Everything from return visits to the doctor and hospital dealing with complications ... View the Post
Randomness
Today I have sinus pressure that is mounting like no other....(please don't let it turn into a sinus infection....) and it's one of those days that the schedule is FULL, FULL, FULL. From 9 am to 9 pm. I am praying that I make it.In other random news, after the holiday bazaar last weekend I have 4 dresses left. Most of which are very fallish/wintery colors...so I want someone to be able to use them....if you are interested email me (I am even too lazy to list them on Etsy this morning.) I will ...
