My sister and I chose a light gray cotton…[Read more]

Ah yes! For Easter, I’m also planning a Sketchbook shirt, Art Museum vest and maybe pants for DS — like yours, @thejennigirl, he will tolerate handmade if it is for dressy occasions or uniforms — not “everyday” where his judgement would be called into question!

You know 89 is not a bad “innings”! He sounds as though he lead a rather fruitful life. Often it is the family occasions, happy and sad where family can really enjoy spending time with each other. I am so glad everything went smoothly. I expect it cannot be easy leaving your children to go on a trip for such a thing. I had no idea schools dictated…[Read more]
