The majority spoke, so I went ahead and hung up my alphabet wall as I planned. I struggled and struggled to get decent photos, but the area is so wide and there’s a pillar in the middle of everything, plus…
2009 Year of Pleasures #5
I may have gotten a little carried away on ebay. These are the type of dishes I want to use to line the staircase wall. I love pyrex, milk glass, and especially fire king. The only problem is that between…
Little Bits Quilt
I have another busy day ahead of me, I have to leave in about 10 minutes to take Atti to his audiology appointment, then it’s a few errands and a quick lunch with Sister-in-law Mari before racing home to excavate…

Herb Garden Markers
The last part of our house left untouched was our backyard. It was seriously rough. Like, we had a jungle threatening to swallow our house. See? We’ve been slowly slowly slowly ripping out all this stuff. I’m sure the same…
Long Overdue House Tour, Day Two
