I have a thing for notebooks. I’ve covered plain notebooks with fancy paper and repurposed paper and I’ve collaged on them with felt and bits of fabric. And, just recently, we made a boatload of hand tied storybooks. Notebooks mean that bits of information, bits of the present, are being hand recorded with lines and…

Yesterday, the kids were given a set of dot markers. Woah boy! I had no idea they would love them as much as they do. My entire afternoon was filled with: dot, dot, dot, dot. They’ve been madly dotting as many pieces of scrap paper they can find. Mouse loves the pound, pound, pound feeling…

brunchy sunday
Good friends of ours came to the house for Sunday brunch. We ate heartily and played two rounds of Go Fish. I almost skipped baking our favorite coffee cake, but Tom insisted. Twist my arm. It came out rich and eggy with the perfect amount of crispy, sweet topping. We ate it warm from the…
a royal birthday
Chick turned six, and she wanted to have a royal celebration where a few of her friends came dressed as queens, kings, princesses or princes (or anything royal-ish). One of her friends came dressed as a woodland messenger of sorts. The children made crowns, listened while I read from some royal story books, and then…

sneak peek
More on this little rainbow burst of color after the weekend. For those in the northeast, join me in my search for tiny patches of grass this weekend. The patches will probably be matted down and brown and sparse, but if I can see actual grass, I’ll be happy. For those in places where trees…

kid rocks!
Here is a little sneak peak at our Valentine making festivities today. Chick made 22 (+ 3 for her three classroom teachers) love rocks, and Mouse made two for both of her teachers (plus a bunch of extras to use for her “rock show”). And by festivities, I mean two peppy kids happily gluing hearts…
conversation Love Rocks!
Love rocks! Just in time for Valentine’s day. These conversation Love Rocks! have a heart on the front and a witty (or just plain sweet) message stamped on the back. Make your hearts skinny or bubbly or teeny tiny or really big – each rock ends up with its own little personality. I used both…
rings and things :: a valentine’s day tutorial
We are making rings and things for Valentine’s Day this year: heart button rings, wool felt heart rings, heart button hair ties, and some bracelets too. A pile of little wooden hearts with a fresh coat of paint. Chick is partial to the wooden button heart ring. Mouse loves the soft, wool felt ring. This…
our guests, the dogs.
Our friend visited for the weekend and brought his sweet pups. This is The Little Man. He is a greyhound and he is big. And, beautiful. And, not very interested in participating in any shenanigans. Mouse insisted on calling him The Big Man. And this is Millie. She is a sprite. Bouncy. Pouncy. And, very…
with cake
Today we will listen about dreams of the most important kind.And, I will shed some tears.And, then we will celebrate a life of braverycompassionequityempathykindnessfortitude. With cake. And, candles. And, maybe some dancing. I will feel hopeful (about the hardest things to feel hopeful for) because the alternative doesn’t work. Not now. It won’t get us…
Five things I like.
1. Check out Ariana’s driftwood mobile. It is a beautiful way to bring simple color and texture into a winter home. 2. Christine Mason Miller is giving away the most beautiful treasures on her blog for the entire month of January. I think her blog posts are little daily gifts in and of themselves. 3….
resurfacing and a nut grinder
Oh my. Well, it isn’t Monday and I told you guys I’d be back on Monday. I blame it on Weeds (we found the series on Netflix play now) and the holidays and an exciting new project I have been working on (which I will tell you more about in the next week or so)….
