@motherof5 – how exciting! Although to seat 12, I envision a bus more than a van!

We’re having a warm winter. We broke a record of latest date with no snow. It was 12/3. The weather pattern holds and they don’t expect even a trace until mid December.

This is bad news weather wise for us. We sit on the eastern edge of a Great Lake. Those…[Read more]

Tonight, I made one lazy days and one onstage tutu. Earlier in the week I made 10 in a clutch. Last week I made 3 hopscotch, and have 1 in progress, 2 fabric baskets in progress, and another onstage tutu in progress.

I really ought to get some photos up.

But we are going away for 6 days mid December, so I lose a week to prepare for the…[Read more]

Thank you, Helena! I saw this a few days ago but my computer was wonky and wouldn’t let me reply on these message boards. Anyway I saw that they ship to the U.S. but then I found a pair on eBay so we are all set (they are not quite mustard yellow, more sunny, but it seems that other family members have gone the sunny route so we won’t stand…[Read more]

I’m simultaneously trying to plan my kids’ outfits for the large family portrait we are…[Read more]
