Fun, yarn, and home repair

It has been a rather interesting couple of weeks. There has been lots of good times, and lots of home repair/renovations as well.

This was one day last week. It was a bit chilly out, and we had arrived at school early, so we stayed in the car and had a dance break for a couple of songs. I believe “Against the Wind” was on for this dance.

One night last week I had the urge to make a seed stitch & entrelac dish cloth. The squares were easy and quick, but the triangles were a bit fussy. I think if I do anything with this pattern I will make the triangle garter or stockinette. It will be less fussy and it will make a pretty border as well.

Trick or Treat!! 2014

Well, the crazy holiday season is officially underway, and we have survived the first holiday. It was actually a great day. Halloween is Vada’s favorite holiday. She wears Halloween themed clothing year round.

The girls had a half day at school, then they went back at 2 for the optional costume parade. Doug’s mom came by just before they got out for the half day, so she picked them up with me, helped to get them in their costumes, and went to the parade with us. It was very nice to have her along.

Here are the girls as we left to go to the costume parade. Vada is Merida from Brave, and Kyla is Elsa from Frozen.

This little girl is a friend of theirs who is in first grade (yes, she is younger than them). She had on my favorite costume of the day!

The Seventh Birthday Retro Party (and some other stuff)

The girls turned 7 on Sunday. I have some snaps to share with you to show our festivities. Plus a little bit of yarnie stuff at the end of the post. 🙂 I think this was the day before their birthday.

And Birthday Girl Vada is all ready as well! Like I … Read more

Valentine’s Snow Day!

Hello there! I know I’ve been posting lots of patterns lately. So I thought it was about time for some fun kid and family pictures. Remember how I told you about selling Girl Scout cookies and our adventures at Town Hall? Well Kyla and Vada each walked out of Town Hall with the extra dollar in their pockets. On Wednesday the student Council was selling lollipops for $.50, and the girls brought their dollars so that they could each buy … Read more

Groundhog~Bowl~Snow~Day

Good evening everyone. We had a very creative and fun couple of days over here At Home. The girls stashed an A.C. Moore bag in Doug’s office, and occasionally they run in there to grab something out of it. A few days ago Vada pulled out this Valentine’s Day monster. It always makes me smile when they randomly decide its craft time and just start getting creative. Of course Kyle loves to express her creativity with fashion! This sparkly little … Read more

Holidays 2013

Well hello there! Did you have a nice Holiday Season? We did. OK, we had a bit of the plague, but other then that it was lovely. The weekend before Christmas the girls went to my in~laws. Vada was a bit sick when she got home, but I just thought it was from over~eating or eating things she normally doesn’t have at home, as that happens to her every once and a while when she come back from the in~laws. … Read more

Holiday Catch Up!

Wow, things have been busy around here. I have some exciting news I should be able to share with you next month(ish). Between that and Christmas, I got a sort of neglected my blogland friends this week.

I still love you!!

I have lots o’ pretty pictures to share with you, so how about I just post them all with a bit about them and leave it at that. It is Christmas Eve and all…

If you hover over the pictures, a short description will pop up, as always! You can also click on the pictures to see them larger.

The Holiday Gift Shop at the girls’ school was at the beginning of the month. It went quite well. Vada had fun playing in my booth while waiting for things to wrap up at the end of the day.
