I have figured out if I can predict when Pip needs to fall asleep I can actually get some time in my crafting room to create. My next problem is when I get down there I have all these ideas in my head and I find myself trying to do them all at once. Well, […]

The Many Names of Persimoni Mae
We are a family of nicknames, especially in the first year – Cedi started out as ‘Silly Putty’ and Capri was our little ‘Cabbage’. Persimoni has acquired a nickname from pretty much everyone. Papa calls her ‘Pip-eroni’, I call her ‘Pip-tini’, Capri likes to call her ‘Pip-ermint’, Cedi is original with ‘Tiny Persimoni’, and my […]
Block 9: Pyramids – Patchwork Squared Modern Solids Quilt Along
And here is the ‘official’ last block of the quilt along – Pyramids. This was my very first time using a template and all things considered it came together pretty well. I think if I were going to do enough blocks for an entire quilt or two or three.. with ‘odd’ shapes I would get […]
Roll Over!
Yesterday I laid Pip on her back and walked away for a few seconds – by the time I came back she was hanging out on her belly… Today, Pip was chilling on her belly and it wasn’t too long before she was on her back… She’s falling in her sister’s footsteps on being a […]
Pancakes With Papa

Lately, he’s been letting me sleep in a bit and I found these pictures of the pancakes he made on my camera later in the day… How cool is that!? What an amazing Papa and husband! Don’t […]

I tried to get a picture of all three girls together…here’s what happened… Cedi LOVED ballet and I LOVED taking […]

EASY RHUBARB DESSERT ~Sue Karman 10 cup diced rhubarb (I found this growing wild by my fence line) 1 (3oz) pkg. strawberry jello […]
Block 8: 4 Wheeler – Modern Solids Patchwork Squared Quilt Along
Here’s the 8th block for the Quilt Along – 4 Wheeler. I did modify this a little bit… Instead of using all teeny tiny squares I made a few rectangles. It really helped me make a more accurate block and I think the end effect is essentially the same. And here’s a photo of the […]
Rainy Day Update
It’s a perfect rainy day out here. The one that I used to cuddle up on the couch with a good book and a hot cup of tea. Now that I have three kiddo’s with lots of energy – these days aren’t quite as peaceful as they were. But I have managed to get all […]
