How Big is Your Sink?

 I have been on a little "computer strike" this last month.  Not quite sure how that happened.  All I know is that I haven't had the desire to sit down at the computer much.  Maybe that's the curse of my iPhone ... I can still check my email and even surf the internet on there instead of sitting at the computer.

Amid all of the chaos of our move, I did not take any pictures ... even though I meant to.  And, the only thing I did to document what our house looks like, is record a little video tour on my phone right before we left to go to Utah.  Expressly for the purpose of showing my family.

This last month we have been busy, and not so busy.  I have worked hard, and then been a little bit lazy.  So, there are no new photos of our new house.  Except what you'll see in this and the next two posts I plan on writing soon.  Maybe one day I will get around to taking pictures ... maybe after we have finished all the cleaning.  (I'm still walking around in awe that this is our house.  And, we still haven't finished cleaning all the minor areas of the house.  The house was vacant for about a year, so the baseboards really gathered some dust.  And, the more I clean, the more I come to the conclusion that the previous owners weren't very clean people.  All of the door jams have metal shavings on them, as well as the doors, because of the hinges.  I haven't decided whether I will have to paint the doors and door jams yet.  Oh, well ... I digress.)

My Miss Maryanne got really messy one day.  So, being the lazy person I was that day, I chose to put her in the kitchen sink instead of walk up the flight of stairs to put her in the bathtub.

Our kitchen sink is ginormous!  We didn't realize how huge the sink is until after we moved in.  It is by far the deepest sink I have ever seen.  It is black ... something that I thought for sure Jon would hate (the man who hates all things black), but it hasn't bothered him too much.

I don't know if I have shared any pictures of M in the sink in the apartment, but I remember sitting her in that sink, and the counter came up to her waist.  That is how much deeper this sink is.  I want to get those gel pads that go on the bottom of the sink to help avoid broken dishes when our children drop them into the sink.  Anyway, I don't have pictures of the house, but I do have these pictures of the sink.  Does that make everyone feel better about my long absence?  :0)

Missed your posts! I've been thinking I need to call you! I guess I need to get on that instead of being lazy myself! It's ok to go on a computer strike. I do it every other week it seems. :)

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...
