Sewing, Anyone?

This is dress number 2 that will be posted on EBAY. I finished it yesterday….I think it turned out pretty well. It’s a little big on Emma. We’ve not done a project in a while so I thought that Monday, we would begin a sew-along. For those with no sewing experience, this should be a great beginner’s project: a rice…

1st EBAY Posting

I‘ve taken the plunge. My first “for sale” item is now listed on EBAY…item number 180009060191 is the first dress that I’ve made to sell.

Jacob’s Pride

I know that we have posted pictures of our sunflowers before. This is the latest, taken this morning. I can’t tell you what it does for a child to see a tiny seed that he has planted and tended with his own hands turn into something so beautiful and huge!

Our Garden Mascot

Froggie, is our garden mascot….he keeps the plants company when we are away!

Twin Giants

These are the two newest sunflowers in our yard. We call them the “twin giants”. I think that overall, these have been our favorite plants of the summer!
