My cousin Laura tagged me way back when I first brought this imaginary blog endeavor out into the wide open air of The Internet, but since coming up with a few things to say about myself is soooo hard, I just never could get around to it in between all those important posts about mending [...]
A bit of an update:
After Dean got home from work and had read my May day post, he lectured Isaac some — he compared homework to a job where you sometimes have to do things the way your boss wants you to do them, even though you think your way would be better. I [...]
when you will find yourself singing “Scripture Power” in your best imitation of the voice of Ord from Dragon Tales.
(Rose was Max, riding my back as we flew through the sky, and instead of the usual routine of crashing in the berry bush and eating berries, she decided today that we would go to [...]
This one wasn’t as fun to sew, since I had lots of difficulties with the neckline: with deciding how to do it, and then in the actual sewing of it, and finally in its not turning out as nicely as I’d hoped. I’m tempted to detail everything that went wrong along the way [...]
