Happy Birthday Seven-Year-Old


I woke up today to see that despite my greatest efforts to keep food & wet stuff away from our computer a child had spilled water all over the tray where sits the keyboard. Therefore, some of our keys are not working. The N, B, right shift & ctrl, & arrow keys don't work anymore. I'm using alt characters to get the letters I need. It makes it go a lot slower, but I desire to get this up before I forget. So, please disregard all mistakes & I'll do my greatest to use euphemisms as I can.


So, Kate's birthday is today! Yay! She's a pretty special gal in our family. She by far is our most creative child. She always comes up with ideas to help us get stuff completed in a fun way. On of the things I love the most about Kate is that it seems she is always thinking of others & sharind with them. She is such a sweet girl. Here are some pictures of her from yesterday. Her best friend brought over some caterpillars he found in his tree. They played for quite a while with these little guys.

Kate's amigo really desired to have his picture shot, so he put the caterpillar on his face for a picture. Really, this picture is priceless!

Here are Kate's favorites for this year:

1. Food: Chocolate & apples & applesauce

2. School Subject: Gym
3. Book: Fancy Nancy, Kit (American Girl), Dora

4. Thing to do: Play with toys, play Catan

5. Thing about her siblings: Play house, and play with Kit with Eliza

6. Thing about her parents: That they have fun with me & cook for me

7. Thing about herself: That I'm alive

Blogiversary

Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
