Super Hero Birthday


Jack turned four on Tuesday and like most boys his age he worships Batman and Spiderman so it was a Super Heroes birthday.

Relocating



We've been busy lately planning our addition. I was told I need to relocate some of my plants if I want them to survive. These are some pictures of my shade gardens that I have to move. I started on one (top picture) but I don't know where to start on the other one. I keep going out with every intention of beginning the task but then I feel overwhelmed and walk away...

Our Little House No More

We are about to embark on the biggest house project to date. We are adding a second story to our house. We have three growing children and we are outgrowing our little house. We are planning on adding a second story which will include four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Hopefully we'll be starting construction within the next few weeks barring any unforeseen setbacks. I'm planning on blogging every step of the way so stay tuned.

Pillows for a Friend

I made this pillow for a neighbor. She bought the material and asked me to put it together for her. I usually put the zipper in the seam but it gets so bulky, especially if you do piping so I found this tutorial to put a zipper in the back and it's hidden. I like how it turned out. I might just have to make some for myself...

What did I do with my free time?

Both boys actually took a nap while Nora was at school this afternoon. So I thought, "Great, I might get some stuff done." Did I tackle any of the stuff on my to do list? Nope, instead I made this....



Sometimes I wish there was a drug to quiet these creative demons inside me...

P.S. Here's where I found it. It's pretty cute, hugh?
