This scrumptious quote came in one of my birthday cards this past week and I have to share it with you: “I do not think the resemblance between the Christian and the merely imaginative experience is accidental. I think that all things, in their way, reflect heavenly truth, the imagination not the least.” –C.S. Lewis, [...]

The following contains photographs of a potentially disturbing nature. Please be assured that no small children were seriously harmed during the taking of these photographs. Here is HungryMan doing his pre-sledding warm-up, primarily comprised of decapitating today’s snowman. Once properly stretched, he loaded the family in our car and drove to the hill of his [...]
more white space

When I mentioned the refreshing nature of white space yesterday, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind. But then again, I grew up here. So what do you possibly do with a world of white? First you have to do a lot of this: Then you go and search for the famed hill of [...]

look friends, no pile Hurray, the pile has met the same fate as the snow. Oh, just look at that all that clean open space. And I promise there was absolutely no stashing involved. The books are returned. The mail is sent. The packages are ready. The artwork is sorted. The necessary has been filed. [...]
down in the dumps

When I first started this post (before WordPress lost several of my drafts) I intended it to be a funny story about Ava and how she is learning about life through books. Now it’s a not-so-funny story about how I’m learning through Ava and her books about life. Take a quick gander over at the [...]
the cruelest trick by far

was covering our grass with a fresh fleece of snow. I’m not sure how they managed it, but every spring-hopeful branch was wrapped in white. Here’s a view of our neighbors back yard which Ava claims is Mr. Mcgregor’s garden. She loves to watch our neighbor working in there and makes up stories about the [...]

I got out of bed tonight to get a glass of water only to discover that the pesky little leprechauns had already worked their mischief. How tiny little men with pointed noses were able to move our kitchen island is beyond me. Apparently they thought the Sous Chef needed a chopping station at her height. [...]

Posted in the ones about ava, the ones about fashion, tagged children, crafts, family, sewing on March 14, 2008 | 12 Comments »
who knew? Inspired by the combined craftiness and cleverness of several friends, I finally pulled up my hand-me-down sewing machine from the dusty basement. After setting it up by the sunniest window in the house, I hunted down the fabric I bought nearly nine months ago for a March baby. It’s March and that little [...]

“Mama, did you go in my room?” “No.” “Don’t go in my room, okay Mama.” “Why don’t you want me to go in your room, Ava?” “Well, you can go in my room, but don’t look behind the door.” “Why?” “Well, ’cause there’s no sugar behind the door.”
