Have you ever just had a hankering to start moving furniture around for the fun of it? Mr. Dock and I got a little crazy this weekend and switched up three rooms! Half way through the semester and this is EXACTLY the refresh I needed. I’m thinking this a common situation for families, but in […]
The Season of Feasts
Oh my. I’m pretty sure I rinsed the dishes after Thanksgiving dinner, went to bed, woke up and it was December 9th. Seriously, this season is moving at light speed! I’ve literally wanted to share these photos with you since the moment I took them, but….well, you know. Can we just pretend I didn’t cross […]
A New Quilt for my…Crawlspace?
First sewing project of the year, and who is it for? The basement of course. Crawlspace, to be more accurate. I know what you’re thinking… “This coffee’s cold. I’m tearing myself away from this super exciting blog post to refresh my cuppa joe.” Ok, maybe you weren’t thinking that, but now you are. Fine, go […]
The Hammock at the End of the Tunnel
I’m giving a big sigh of satisfaction now that I can say we are officially “settled”….or at least enough to have hosted a big family event last night, with tons of compliments and all around fun at at our newly renovated house. It was one of those events that forced us to finish all of […]
A Nursery Built for Two
Ahhh, my nursery is finished, and just in the nick of time!! Unexpected complications have just come up and we MIGHT be meeting these little boys much much sooner than anticipated! Cords, amniotic membranes, and blood flow are all the chatter as I pack my bag, praying for just a few more weeks while I […]
Musical Rooms Part 2: A New Playroom!
On Saturday I gave you a peek into the new cozy little sewing room I’ve just finished setting up in my basement, and today I’m excited to share a few pics of the playroom I’ve put together for the kids, right off the living and dining rooms, in my old sewing space. Afterall, now that […]
Musical Rooms Part 1: Sewing Studio
Where in the world has this month gone?!?! Between our twin euphoria, home improvement mania, weddings, and a heat wave, this is shaping up to be one very crazy summer! Hope you’re staying cool in whatever extreme weather is going on in your neck of the woods (can you sense a theme here? It’s been […]
Help, I’m Seeing Double!!!
Literally, double, yes. As in woozy, light-headed, I might topple over in utter shock. Went in today to find out the sex of the baby….notice I said “the” baby. Low and behold it’s a boy….yay! Um, make that 2 boys. WHAAAAAAAAAT!?!?! No twins in our family, no fertility stuff goin on….just plain old miraculous twins, […]
It’s The Simplest Things…
Ain’t it the truth? Sometimes it’s just so hard to predict what’s going to make your day, and oddly enough, it’s often the smallest, most mundane things that send me to the moon. Sometimes it’s a simple block…like this bright wonky star I made for a swap partner this month. For some reason, dumping my […]
Stop And Smell The Sanity
It’s getting to be that time of year again. Busy busy busy, go go go….the kids have music recitals, gymnastic performances, birthdays, bike rides, fishing, gardening, theatre plays, road trips, play dates, and of course lots of running through the sprinklers. I wish I could say my plate felt quite as carefree, as I layed […]
