We started harvesting veggies from the garden the other day. It still amazes me how fast those little seeds turn into veggies and fruit! The kiddos are starting to be good little helpers. They harvested the radishes all by themselves. One would pick, one would cut and one would put the radishes in the bucket. We have had some hot… Keep Reading
The other day I found myself sewing on knit fabric with a jean/denim needle. I was struggling with the skirt until I realized I had the wrong needle in my machine.

I wanted to keep my son from loosing everything he had learned this past year, while continuing to teach my girls the basics. I have been following Rachel’s blog Sun Scholars for some time… Keep Reading
This week I decided to share a tutorial for another one of my favorite items to make…dish towels. A nice set of dish towels is something that everyone loves, but will rarely splurge on for themselves. This is also a great beginner sewing project.

The kiddos and I made a scarecrow yesterday. It is one of those things we have wanted to make but just never seem to get around to it. Well this year I have already replanting my pumpkin patch twice. So before I replant it again I needed something to take care of the crow problem we seem to have. So… Keep Reading
Visiting the Lupine Festival in the Spring has become an annual event for us. Even the kiddos are starting to enjoy it just as much as I do. They even started asking me about it once they saw the lupine blooming in our garden. The girls dressed themselves that morning in their matching dresses that I made them here. Of course… Keep Reading
