So I'm done with blogging for the foreseeable future but I have something that I want to write down so I'm putting it here. Here are some things I want to remember about Bridget at 1 year old: ...

Here's Bridget's 6 month picture with the bear. See some earlier ones here . And then later on in the day I hear from the kitchen "take my picture" and I find Henry sitting on the ch...

I had a little bit of an urge to redecorate. So I made a few small changes. Made some new curtains for the dining room and recovered the table lamp by the laptop, both of which were made alm...

This year we all have mommy-knit grey hats. Aren't we cute? Mine and Kevin's are from last year . And Henry's was supposed to have ear flaps but I ran out of yarn, still want to get so...

Kevin put the winter tires on our car yesterday and with Henry as his sidekick it was honestly so much fun. Henry loves to do anything with cars so he was into it. He liked to lean the wheel...

So I did it. I made a second play tent cover. I just couldn't stop thinking about how I could make it better and really isn't that what making your own stuff is all about - coming up wi...

A record of our halloween. It was a great one.

Henry and I are in love with doing cut and paste together this past week. It started with me suggesting we make some Halloween decorations and to my surprise he said yes. And then to my ...

I made Henry this play tent yesterday. He calls it his fort. It was a thrift store play tent with a smelly vinyl cover so I just made a new cover for it. I set it up at night so he saw...
I finished up my advent calendar that I planned and bought the materials for just after last Christmas, now I'm ready for December 1 to roll around. It is a series of 24 little pockets joi...

How could I not record the size of these carrots that I dug up from the garden earlier this week!?
I had a pretty successful kids clothes week challenge this past week if I may say so myself. The challenge is just to sew kids clothes for an hour a day for a week just to see what you ca...

We did just about all of our Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving activities this past weekend: dressed Henry up in his Mommy-made lederhosen and went to the Opening Ceremonies so the public could...

I made my first apple pie on Sunday. It was fun to get out the apple machine and show it to Henry. And then when I started cutting the apples into smaller pieces he went to the play ki...
We finally got around to finishing up the greenhouse. The biggest part of that was building some shelves. I kind of wanted to just buy something but couldn't find anything that would max...

It's official. Bridget is 4 1/2 months old and she's sitting. She still needs a little help getting balanced sometimes and she often falls after a couple minuets but she is definitely si...
These pants are so easy to make I made her a purple pair too .

Bridget has outgrown most of her 'newborn baby gift' clothes and others have been put away because they were for summer. She still has enough clothes but now she doesn't have so many that ...

Nothing to report. Here are some of my favourite pictures from the weekend.
I think I may have done it - made myself the perfect dress. If there's one thing I don't like about nursing, it's that I can't wear dresses (and if I'm honest, as much as I love it, there ...
Henry and I made Tibetan momos yesterday. Just little steamed buns with potato filling from the recipe here . It was really fun. Henry got to dump the flour and water together ...

Here's Bridget in her first Mommy-made dress. I have enjoyed making little boy clothes for Henry over the past few years but there is something extra special about a little girl's dress. ...

Just enjoying the garden bounty over here. And the face below that Henry pulls when I ask him to smile these days. Last night's dinner featured tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, an...
