here's how i scream

"I wanna wipe my dirty fingers on your camera!"


"Why did you pull it away? You are so mean, and now I'm sad and mad."


"Maybe if I scream in your lap I will get to touch the camera."


"Still not working? I'll try a really mean face."

easy craft project

Allison and I worked on this garland while the babes napped yesterday. It is quite easy, and can be adapted for different ages. Cut out felt triangles (or have your child do it) and lettering. I used adhesive backed decorative paper which means no need for glue. We had a few orange stickers to put on, and Alli did the leaves using stencils. I used binding and stitched the whole thing together in about 3 minutes.

My dad has never talked much about his childhood, so you can imagine how excited my sister and I were when we discovered a box of 16mm films over the summer. We never met my grandparents on that side, they both died before we were born. Seeing them in such a tangible way has been wonderful and has made them feel real for the first time in my life. I had the films all transferred to digital and a few weeks ago, we were able to see what gems they truly are. As I figure out how to use iMovie, I will share more clips. This one is from 1947, and is my dad.

etsy finds

Ever since I made such a fuss about early holiday shopping, I realized that I really ought to post a list of holiday cards. December is now a mere two weeks away, and there are so many good choices, you might need that time to make up your mind.

why twins are fun

Emy is holding the crackers, and shares a handful with Grace, who then feeds them to Em who then accidentally bites Grace who then cries. And I take a picture.

new inventory

One good thing about the lack of sales over the weekend is the many new items I have to post on etsy. Here are a few of the pillows, and there are more if you look here.
