"When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still. That is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!" ~The Haunted Mansion Ride I grew up going to Disneyland every summer with my parents, grandparents, siblings, and cousins. Some of my fondest childhood memories have Disneyland as their backdrop. Like sitting on the stone fence outside of ... View the Post
The Sally Dress Tour
When the lovely Shannon asked if we would take part in the Sally Dress Tour....I gladly said yes, because Shannon is one of the nicest bloggers we know. Seriously.....she is the best. And a beautiful sewist. And a great momma to her girlies. And a magnificent knitter. And just all around cool. But here's my problem. Remember the days years ago when I was complaining because this girlie would only wear dresses, or skirts? Well, you probably don't. But I do. As if it were yesterday. And ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: We need women…
Recently I've been thinking a lot about what kind of a role model I am for my girls. What I want them to see from me...and what kind of an example I am setting for them.

And so reflecting on the mother and women I ought to be is something I find ... View the Post

And when I was done the oranges and grey scrap piles ended up next to each other...which made me think it was time to cut them up into a Halloween quilt. Which ... View the Post

Because sometimes you just need some peace and quiet…
Over last weekend our house was pretty loud. There were vacuums going, friends playing over, music blaring (dance parties are a new thing around here) and it was just plain chaos. Which is fun and exciting and I generally like the sounds of everyone home....but it can get a little loud. And the three-year old....well, he is use to staying home with mom all day and hearing just us talk and the whirl of things like his mom's sewing machine. So, when all the general chaos was going on and he ... View the Post
