This little thrifted bunch will be perfect for juice and milk for the kiddos. I like to use glass, metal, pottery, and wood for their dining experience as much as possible because of how spooky some plastics are. The only drawback is that sometimes their dinnerware is kind of boring – plain glasses, wooden bowls,…
silver
These are my new, old shoes. $5.99 at the local thrift store. Perfectly old timey for my two new, old timey cocktail dresses (both were insanely cheap and on sale). I have a big wedding and a kindergarten send-off to tend to before I post some of the crafty bits I have stored up in…
toothy
Chick’s wiggly, jiggly tooth finally came out. It happened without fanfare, without blood, without even the tiniest little “ouch.” It just sort of slid out of her mouth, kerplink, into her hands. She wandered into the kitchen and handed me the tooth, and then she was ready for something else, something other than a wobbly…
August
We ate tiny plums and visited our beloved farm where we picked green beans (aim for the slender ones) and rode a choo choo train at the park (shout when you go through the tunnel!) Some things never get old. xo e
camp beautiful
I can’t believe I had “malfunction” as my post title for the past three weeks. Granted, we did have a few bumps and turns and more bumps and more turns, but, really, my summer has been so much more than a big malfunction. For starters, we went on a family camping vacation to Nickerson State…
some rosy cherries
We’re having muggy weather that is making me wilt. cherries to the rescue and mocktails and cocktails A quick mocktail recipe: 1 part pineapple juice1 part seltzer1 part orange juiceicelime slice for the rim Add some rum instead of the orange juice for the cocktail version. Or maybe keep the orange juice. And, don’t you…
feeling farm-y
Happy summer vacation to us! And to you guys, too, of course. Grandma Jane (Tom’s mom) gave the girls these sun shielding floppy hats that have, so far, become their most favorite summer accessories. Seriously. We don’t leave home without them. Notice that little Mouse, the burgeoning fashionista, chooses to wear her flower on the…
Brooklyn Lyceum
Mr. Cute sitting at our booth. I think he had just stopped screwing hardware onto the backs of the hook boards. Me. Happy to be in Brooklyn on a warm weekend in May. It was an inspiring, beautiful, busy two days. I felt lucky to be surrounded by amazing and creative artists and crafters. My…

Spring in our yard. Fern babies Purple ground covering that is way more beautiful than grass. Dogwood tree growing in the west side of our front yard (just like I had growing up) Tiny lilac bush about to bloom. Fancy tulips planted this past fall with Mouse in the Ergo pack on my back. Sweaty….
s i g n s
Here are some little signs made out of recycled box board and fabric scraps. I’m always looking for ways to use up the box board in my recycle bin (cereal, tissue boxes, etc.), so using it to make bright little signs feels perfect. The ones in the picture are for when I am at craft…
bees are our friends. kind of.
Do bees use sign lanuage?Why do some lizards’ tails break off?Are humans predators because we eat chickens and stuff? These are just a few of the questions that randomly popped into Chick’s head yesterday. Very Earth Day appropriate, right? Bees have been on her mind lately because between the copious amount of dandelions in our…
flowers
I came down with a mean old stomach virus late Wednesday night, and with the help of Saltines and tummy tea, I’ve been slowly recovering since then. Blech! One of the first things I did when I began to feel a bit better this morning (other than kiss the tops of the children’s fluffy little…
hook board :: sprouts
So, yeah, this is when I start pining away for spring. With the lack of deep snow in our area, I think I should probably still be dreaming about snow drifts, but just knowing that we are so close to March, and that the end of March marks the beginning of spring, makes me itchy…
fairy flower wand
Chick decided she wanted to have just a few little friends to our house on Saturday for a fairy tea party. We served tiny cheese and jam sandwiches, berry tea, and gave each of her friends a fairy flower wand to cast spells with. The wands were designed by me, but actually assembled by Tom….
fabric heart necklaces :: remake
This project began as a garland, but ended up as a necklace. I just couldn’t resist slinging the sweet little heart over my neck. So, in the end, it is a little fabric heart necklace perfect for giving to little ones (and big ones) for Valentine’s Day. I made these for the girls to wear,…
