Before I get to the cuteness of all that encompasses Adam .... the giveaway winner is:

#11: Kristina!

I'm really kind of excited because I saw a pattern in a catalog and immediately thought of you ... so you'll get a little surprise something (but, I will tell you this ... I'll probably need some Eva to make it ... that fabric is okay, right?).


Now on to the adorable Adam story:


One day Adam decided to be a train. So, he put this basket on his head and started to shuffle into the living room (where I was sitting) making the "chuga-chuga" sounds. This child is so creative, it kills me! And, I'm so grateful for his creativity ... really helps me to lighten up when I'm stressed or frustrated.


Oh, and the band-aid on his chin? He sustained a cut chin and a bitten-through tongue when he executed a jump off a kitchen chair. I still can't figure out if he was trying to jump to the adjacent chair, or the floor. Either way, he missed his target. That was a fun adventure to the emergency room for a couple of steri-strips that were pulled off a day later.

Oh my goodness! How did I not know that!?! Poor Adam that sounds like it hurt. That is neat that he is so creative though, I bet he entertains himself a lot.

Blogiversary

By
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!

By
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

By
(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...
