Today, we are planning on (hopefully!) finishing Jessica’s dresses. I’ve let Courtney do most of the sewing for all three of them. She is doing a great job and T-shirt dresses give her a good start on basic sewing skills with the reward of seeing something that she has done well enough her sister can actually wear it…something that it…

Mosaics, Day 2
Day 2 of Mosaics….I took the day off yesterday! LOL! Today, we are going to apply grout. Please do not attempt to apply grout until your adhesive is thoroughly dry. This can, and does take some muscle! This is Jessica’s project, but I do have to help at least enough to make sure that the grout makes it down in…
15 Years!
The last 15 years have been the best of my life. I was blessed by God to have found the one person on Earth who really does complete me. Today is my 15th wedding anniversary. These are my thoughts to my sweet: My Dearest Paul, You are the love of my life and it has been a joy and a…
Clothesline, Day 3
Wow! This week has really gotten away from me! We’ve been so busy with Paul’s work and sewing that time has just flown. Today, I’m posting the last of the clothesline pics. This is the clothes line with two loads hanging. I have a Whirlpool Duet Washer. It holds quite a few clothes so these are no small loads. As…
Mosaics Day 1
Monday! I’m dragging today…Paul and I stayed up much too late last night! He was needing to finish the cable project that he’s been working on and I was busy tatting a lace edging for the pantaloons that I made for Jessica (yes, I did finally finish them…I still have Emma’s left to go!). This weekend, Courtney and I managed…
Sock Day!
I‘m still working on managing socks a little better around here but I thought this would give you just a little preview of what “sock day” is like at the Lambert house. This isn’t even half of what we fold and put away in our home when we match the socks. Today is Friday. It feels like this week has…
Fix Our Eyes
We’re up and moving this morning. Paul and I sat up late last night sorting through paperwork and various notes for our upcoming websites. I also enjoyed watching my hubby and helping him make camera cables for a company downtown. You wouldn’t believe how many little wires are inside of a big camera cable. I was amazed to watch him…
Calling All Moms!
It’s Wednesday…I can’t believe half of the week is gone already! Where does the time go? This picture is Emma Katherine the day she was born. The hospital staff referred to her as “Baby-Sumo”, I’m sure you can guess why! She has been such a sweet baby. I can hardly believe that she will be 6 months old soon. While…
Earrings, Day 4
Today we’re going to finish our earrings! This part is really easy. Using your pliers, open a small space in the ring on the ear wire (view picture). Thread the loop on your beaded head pin onto the ear wire and carefully close it! That’s it! In the next few weeks, I’ll try to have some examples of some other…
Alcoholism
Did you know (according to The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence): *There are more deaths and disabilities each year in the U.S. from substance abuse than any other cause. *About 18 million Americans have alcohol problems. *More than half of all adults have a family history of alcoholism or problem drinking. *More than nine million children live with…
Earrings, Day 3b
Now that you’ve bent your wire, you are ready to make the loop that will attach to the ear wire itself. To do this, you need to hold the beaded head pin in one hand and the earring tool in the other. Grab the head pin about 1/4″ from the (empty) end and use the earring tool to turn it.…
Earrings, Day 3
It’s Monday! This has been a really great weekend. We’ve managed to get so much done. I’m always so thankful for a productive weekend…it’s tends to make the whole week better! We are still without a car while ours is being repaired. My Mom just happens to be on vacation this week and has loaned us her vehicle for the…
