Could I be any more creative with this post’s title?  Maybe.  But that’s just what this week has been.  Again.  And I’m not complaining.  It’s been full of hard work – Mark with computer work (of the required and voluntary sort) and me with sewing.  We made a loaf of banana bread for Sarah the [...]

It’s been a quiet week for us.  Campbell and Kristi left for a month-long trip to visit her family in Thailand on Monday, which always leaves a bit of a vacuum socially.  The upside is that you know you have good friends when you miss them.  We’ve needed a quiet week though, since the ones [...]

It’s been sunny and beautiful here in Newcastle for the past few days.  And I’ve been eating up being outside (and not being on the computer) in the low-70s-warm-sun-cool-breeze weather.  Sorry I’ve been m.i.a. again.  We’ve decided a weekly posting time is in order for us Guinns as we have a pretty horrible track record [...]

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.
