After seeing this rug on Purl Bee, FREE pattern, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking that I needed another rug. Geez, I’ve been making a lot of rugs around here, but when you have hard wood floors it really is nice. Plus, look at that rug!? It looks...

When we went up to Brainerd MN on a family vacation last week, I will admit that one of my top priorities was hitting a local quilt shop–Country Fabrics and Quilting. The girls + Espen went on an afternoon outing to eat and shop. My sister-in-law, Emily, has...

Tony’s grandparents brought us over 3 buckets of apples from the tree in their backyard the other day. I love that we are able to use apples from a family tree and that they are imperfect so I feel justified making them into applesauce. The recipe I use for...

I made this quilt a while ago, and recently had someone ask me for the pattern. This was a wonderful excuse to have to sit down and write the pattern out. It is an easy pattern and one that many of you could probably figure out on your own, but I always love a...

A friend recently contacted me about swapping some cloth diapers for a few handmade items. She had cloth diapers that she wasn’t using and wanted to pass along and so instead of paying for them, she asked that I make something for her. How wonderful is that?!...

We had a bumper crop of tomatoes in our garden this year, which is a good thing since the last 2 years haven’t been that great. For the last 4 years I have been making tomato sauce for our freezer so that I don’t have to buy any. It is perfect for...

I’ve discovered something new in the last 48 hours. It seems rather “duh,” but it makes a big difference in my daily life. So here it is. A “successful” day no longer means the same to me now that I am a mother of two. I have this...

One of my greatest desires for my family right now is to one day have land that they can run and explore on. I would love to have a huge garden, lots of trees, and lake access. Is that too much to ask?!? For now we are a city family and I just have to deal with...
