Yesterday on Facebook I posted a picture of Gracie's currently lime green hair and asked if any of you could guess what had happened to it...that was kind of an unfair question...there was pretty much no way you were ever going to guess. Sorry...I wasn't trying to be difficult...ok, maybe I was but today I'll explain what happened. Here's the story of how I turned Grace's hair green: Saturday was Holi Fest at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Lotus Temple.It's an annual event and loads of fun so when my ... View the Post
A Five Minute Pillowcase How To and A Riley Blake Fabric Giveaway!

The Art of Homemaking: Because they deserve my best
When liZ and I went to hear Daryl Hoole give a homemaking talk last fall, one of the things she said that night stuck out to me as if it were written in a neon, blinking billboard across my forehead.

I am not sure what it is like at your house, but just about the time the big kids come home from ... View the Post

Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside, awakes."---Carl Jung Three or four years ago when we started this blog one of the first things I started consistently posting about was "The Art of Homemaking". These posts were sparked by the second hand copy of a book entitled "The Art of Homemaking" written in the 1960's that I purchased for the kitchy illustrations but fell in love with when I read the words. That led me to ... View the Post
