This little one has been enjoying my fabric scraps. She has been designing clothes for her Calico Critters/Little Woodsies. I, of course, am tickled to have another apparel designer in the house. She just so happens to be wearing the Christmas dress I made her two years ago (and it still fits!).
I bought this loom for $10 at a yardsale this weekend. It's awesome quality.
It's another school week and we just might have another school day at the beach this week like last week. Or maybe more than one. Our readings, some P.E, some science and a whole lot of fresh air makes for a good day. We just might need to break out the wet suits now. Thankful for the flexibility homeschooling brings.
Someone 'needed' a new shift because her old one was too small. This girl totally wears all the layers when she dresses up old fashioned, always authentic.
This guy is very, very helpful around these parts. One of his (many) hobbies is food preservation. He picked, chopped and froze dozens of containers of rhubarb. His efforts helped stock our freezer with raspberries. He froze a bunch of green beans and peppers. I have triple the applesauce because of his efforts. He has also helped with dehydrating herbs and putting up the garlic. He keeps picking more things and hauling them in (his sisters do more picking and eating than bringing in their finds!). He is saying he's going to be bringing in the grapes next. Age 11 is fabulous...until you want to take a good picture, lol.
