Click on the thumbnail below to see a collage of our day at Roba Family Farm:
The children playing in the leaves:
Per my usual M.O., I was sewing Mina and Molly’s costume up to the last minute, as they all stood around asking if I was finished yet.
Mina as Princess Lea; Molly as Princess Molly; Hannah [...]
… don’t mind the fugly cake (I usually make ‘em much nicer):
opening a car garage from mommy and daddy:
what a pain in the neck it was to put together, but he loves it!
some “Cars” cars from Sarah:
No lame excuses here. Been busy, haven’t blogged. To the few readers I have, I’m sorry!
Sooo, let’s get to it…
Molly knits! Woohoo! Three down, three to go!
I knit a few washclothes.
Finished a pair of soaker shorts.
Been working on my Bayerische socks.
First up, Mina’s (my 8 year old) 1st finished sock:
We like to sit and knit together. I helped her here and there, mostly on the heel and toe, and some reminders on how to decrease. She’ll need even less help with the other sock, except she has SSS (second sock syndrome). She wants to knit [...]
#1. Cashiers who don’t know how to pack my groceries.
Apples DO NOT belong on top of lettuce. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like my lettuce bruised, wilted and soggy. Jars of marinara sauce do not belong in the bag with the bread. I prefer meat and chicken be in it’s own bag. [...]
A full rainbow, though, due to our house and trees being in the way, I couldn’t get far enough back to get a full shot.
Mina turned eight.
Some outdoor summer fun!
You can often find butterflies visiting our yard.

rules.

At a local vintage shop, Magpie, I found…
…some vintage knitting booklets:
and this book:
I actually already have this book with the newer cover:
but the older one reminds me of my mom, since that’s the one she had. I think my father gave her book away when she past away. She died almost 14 years ago of [...]

Oh Spring, where art thou?
Wake up sleepy head;
I long for green grass, blooming flowers, budding trees,
the earthy smell of a freshly planted garden.
My children long to spend hours in the warmth of your sunshine,
breathing in the fresh air, playing tag and hide and seek,
making new nature discoveries, observing the [...]
Rachel Ann here, what's your favorite color?
I'm a 30 something mom who homeschools her six children. I knit, I spin, and sometimes I pull out the sewing machines and sew something pretty.
Sometimes I sell hand spun yarn, hand knits, or other crafty items.
Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7
