Quit Yer Stitchin’!

I made these chicks over the weekend.  There’s actually four of them…..they go from big to small.  Kind of like nesters…without the nest.  I initially started making the embroidered birds for my quilt but Cali swiped them and declared them hers, so I just wound up making softies out of them.  They’re a little rough….but I [...]

Belated Easter Party

We had Cal’s Easter party at school today….a little late…but they didn’t know the difference.  It was eww outside, so we had to have the hunt in the chapel.  I caught Cal and her little buddy, Preet, hunkered down behind a pew eating candy out of the eggs faster than lightening.  Naturally, I confiscated all [...]

Seed Sowin’

Cali got her flowers planted over the weekend.  Dahlias.  Tomorrow we’re making a garden stake to put in them.  Did I mention she’ll be back to school tomorrow after over a week of Spring Break?  YA-HOOOOOOOO!!!  Was that too loud?

Kiddie Flower Plantin’ Day

I painted this pot for Cali last night.  We’re planting Dahlias in it today.  She’s so excited she can’t stand it.  I think she’ll have fun with her own pot of flowers to water and take care of.  No doubt, they’ll all be pulled out of the dirt as soon as they bloom.  She loves [...]

Artisan Bread

I’m wanting to stretch my wings in the bread-making department and I’ve started reading the book pictured here.  “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day”, by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois.  I haven’t tried any of the recipes yet, but I’m looking forward to it.  You make up a big batch of dough and keep [...]

Cali’s Tree

She climbed her first tree today.  Went right up it like a Baboon.  Cali is the poster child for “Nature Baby”.  I’m quite certain that, if given the choice, she’d never come indoors for the rest of her life.  Her day went something like this:
