I’ve spent some time today remembering.  First, the remembering that’s supposed to be done (by Americans, anyway) on this particular day.  And then remembering how this day has been spent in my own short history.  I remember sunshine and lots of food (burgers, dogs, potato salad, veggie pizza, sugar cookies with almond icing).  I remember [...]

My first wearable top.   And here’s the quilt I’m working on.  Just waiting on quilting thread to start the last bit.  (Anybody in need of a toddler bed size quilt?  I don’t know what I’m going to do with this yet…)

Has it really been a whole week since I posted?  The computer says so, though it only feels like a few days have gone by at the most.  You can likely imagine what last week was like, as Mark’s show was in performance mode.  He was on stage every night from Monday to Saturday with [...]

We just had one of those weekends that passes in a hurry. It was full, but not too busy.  What did we do, you ask?  Well… date night all-day dress rehearsal (Mark) Stitch and Craft Show in Belfast (Ange) cookout at a friend’s house visited a new (to us) church in Annalong had our weekly [...]

To those of you wanting to read something related to Ireland…sorry.  This is solely related to my craft (and vanity?).  I had a white t-shirt that got a rather conspicuous stain on the front and I was trying to come up with a fun way to save the shirt.  So I sewed on a bib [...]

I woke up at 6am this morning, needing to pay a visit to my favorite porcelain structure.   When I hopped back in bed, I had a hard time falling asleep again because the sun was already making our room rather bright!  Come on!  Luckily, I did get back to sleep and continued to sleep for [...]

So, we’ve (again) been seriously m.i.a. here lately.  Sorry about that!  We’l be back this week with some fun posts and the week after with pics of Mark’s pirate debut.   Until then, we wish you a happy Easter.  Be blessed as you get glimpses of his love and power.

Hello, dear friends!  I feel excited waking up today knowing it’s a day to celebrate.  I love traditions of celebration.  Especially when they come with live music, parades (best when you’re with kids), and good bad-for-you food.  And today is just that day.  Mark and I are going to go to Downpatrick, one of the [...]

Is anyone else having trouble believing February is almost half over?  I sort of think time started moving a bit faster when 2009 hit.  Maybe?  We’ve been keeping good and busy over here.  And here’s what with… Mark has been working 2 jobs since mid-November.  That has been madness for him accompanied by a strong [...]

So we’ve moved into 2009.  The last 2 days have been quiet for us (minus Mark’s coughing spells) as we’ve had the house to ourselves for the first time since my return from the States.  Whew!  We had a wonderful time, though, I must say.  Bekah, a friend from Muncie, was here when I returned [...]
