Mid-Spring Busy-ness
School ends for both children on Thursday (culminating with simultaneous kindergarten graduation and preschool field-day festivities, no less!) and with our beautiful weather and the promise of free time it feels as though Summer is upon us. Here’s a bit of what we’ve been doing:
With all the yardwork to be done Daisy’s been building little homes for her fairy friends while daddio and I do the manual labor…she furnishes them with quince petals for blankets and soft dandelion pillows for sleepy fairy heads.
Our seeds are sprouting nicely and are being hardened off for transplant. These are micro-greens, just tiny babies, but the radishes in the garden are nearly ready for snacking.
This is my actual hand feeding an actual giraffe at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. They like Wasa crackers…who knew?
I absolutely cannot get enough of this CD. The hand-sewn image on the front is wonderful, but the music is perfect, just perfect. Try track #5. Of course, you can’t listen to just one thing all the time, so sometimes I listen to this one instead. The kids put track 10 on heavy rotation!
I’ve been working on the quilt from the cover of Sugar Sack Quilts, with a few modifications (some polkadots and fine checks rather than all solids, plus I’m planning a scalloped border).
I also managed to get our craft cabinet whipped into shape with a few new bins (we already had most of these) and relocated my fabric supplies to a box under the guest bed. (excuse the awful basement picture)
Of course, I promptly made a trip to the fabric store and outgrew this box, but at least I tried 
What have you been working on and been inspired by lately?
You’ve got a lot done with kids around. Wish I could say the same… Did score some excellent storage boxes at a yard sale so sorting and resorting the toys in the basement has consummed our time. Trying to get a rotation going better than we have more like the books.
I am impressed with the organization of your craft supplies. Where do you find the time?!!! And I’m a little older than Daisy however, I love her ideas for caring for garden fairies. I’m going to help them out with some comfy spots to curl up in in my garden - I think a fairy house would be nice - maybe a bird house conversion…
Those craft supplies look very well organized! I am drooling over your fabric box… oh my!! Loving the new blog layout by the way.
Thanks for the CD recommendation! I have a subscription to emusic.com, and Lisa Hannigan and Ingrid Michaelson are both on there. I already have Ingrid’s albums, but I’ll be downloading ‘Sea Sew’ soon!
Your craft cupboard amazes me - I wish I had a whole cupboard for our stuff! Hubby did hang me a shelf in one of our storage rooms last night though, and I have a nice stack of fabric on it now. Ahhh… organization…
Oooh! I am so jealous!! I don’t know even where to start on my piles of craft items and books. Yours looks wonderful!
Never would have thought that that’s a a giraffe in the photo. LOL
I am impressed with the organization of your craft supplies & I love her ideas for caring for garden fairies..thanks.
