Humpty Dumpty

This lovely, round, eggy fellow showed up  in our house over the weekend.  It may have something to do with Miss M's school lesson tomorrow that includes boiling an egg and memorizing a well-known nursery rhyme!

    Thank you for inviting me here. What a nattily dressed Humpty yours is! His bowtie alone is far, far superior to my poor Humpty's. I am so glad I got to come see!

    Ha, his bowtie was sewn on last night, lit by a crack of light from the mostly-closed-closet, after the kids were in bed. Only this morning did I discover I sewed it on crookedly! Oh well, he's very popular with Miss M and even Little Guy babbles and coos at him (and chews on a detached arm till it's a soppy, soggy mess)! He is bigger than yours...not entirely sure how that came about though. I must have done some funky printing. I do confess to having used some birthday money to purchase a fat quarter at JoAnn's expressly for his pants. Nothing in my "stash" suited his egginess.

    Thanks! I love the fabric too...thanks to a JoAnn's gift card I got for my birthday. I think the print on the pants looks somewhat eggy...like squared off eggs sunny side up. Ha! He's been getting lots of love around here. Although Miss M really enjoyed knocking a real egg off the wall outside and seeing it break. She kept begging to do it again.

No More Quiet Time

I  have always thought it sounded trite to speak of “falling in love with Jesus.” But trite or not, isn’t that what I want for my children? To learn to “love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5). With that in mind, and having run across this blog post on Pinterest several months ago, I created a morning devotion basket for the kids and I to use. You see, up till now, I would typically find time to read the Bible and pray away from my children. Away from distraction, away from the demands of dust and dirty dishes, and away from the 437 questions a four-year-old asks every day. Then I realized I was doing them a major disservice by disallowing them to see me in the Word regularly. If I want them to love the Lord God, then I must show them how I love the Lord my God! Our new routine is to wake up in the morning, prepare a simple breakfast — usually cold cereal for the kids, toast and tea for me — and sit d...

Fall SWAP progress

I finally have some progress to report on my Ottobre SWAP.  There are actually six garments finished, but I only have pictures of four of them so far. You can see that the brown Maya blouse is lacking buttons. I didn't have anything suitable in my stash, so I'll "have" to go find some at JoAnn's.  I'm thinking something to match the medium pink in the trim, but we'll see. I almost never buy buttons...I usually always make do with what I have on hand. The cream Maya blouse is made of a vintage pillowcase I picked up at Goodwill a while back ($0.50).  It carries that oh-so-fresh smell that I love on my pillows and is super soft. I have a bit left that I'm going to hoard until just the right project comes up. I'm delighted with how dressy the little skirt came out! It's made of chocolate brown stretch velvet.  Miss M thought it was great fun to pet it like a kitten. Modeled by the lovely Miss M...and just before naptime (what was I thi...

She Made It!: the Get to Work Apron

This weekend Miss M decided she wanted to sew something.  I was elbow deep in a sewing project of my own, so I told her that if she wanted to sew, she would have to do it all by herself.  I set up my old sewing machine on a little table for her and answered her questions, but otherwise she did all the work herself! First, she picked a project from Sewing School . (affiliate link)   She choose the Get to Work Apron.  It's a cute tool apron that helps you carry your tools or supplies with you while you work.  Then she picked some fabric from my stash.  She cut out the paper pattern and traced it onto her fabric with a piece of chalk.  (We had to have a little talk about placing your pattern near the edge of the fabric and not smack-dab in the middle!) Then she cut out her pieces and pinned them together, right sides facing.  At that point I gave her a piece of plain white printer paper to practice sewing straight lines on. ...
