collecting

this was a fun project to do with kids. for cub scouts, my nephew needed to start a collection. so the kids went around the yard finding leaves and labeling. (and a good way to get kids interested in science. just in case the periodic table above the crib doesn't work.) miss mallory wouldn't stop for pictures. or hold up the leaves so we could look at them. she kept on a truckin'.

we needed to get a pose in with grandma. it was her idea after all. and her hard work keeping the kids focused. and she's holding the baby. wonder woman.

if my model could just give up her fork.

another quick and easy dress. about all i am getting done lately. i like instant gratification though.

two nursing covers

two for one. and i think this is the last of my nursing cover boom. you know when you get 20 all at once? yeah, that happened. at least not 20 of them. but it is either feast or famine. i guess that it is how it is in everything.

a nice airy nursing cover for a mom in florida.

i made this for a mother who was due at the beginning of august. i too would pick something light if i lived in florida. secretly i was glad that i wasn't pregnant at the beginning of august and living in florida. i think i would die of heat stroke.

cantaloupe soup

it actually turned out pretty good (much better than the picture of it). isaac loved it. in fact, he ate most of it. it doesn't keep, though. i would eat it up pretty fast.

i looked up recipes online and decided to go free style. or actually combine recipes and use what i had on hand.
so here's how it went down:

1 cantaloupe pureed in a blender.
1 cup heavy cream added to the cantaloupe puree.
1 orange squeezed into the soup.
lots of sugar (3 Tbsp, at least) and some cinnamon and vanilla until it tasted good.

a fabulous nursing cover.

absolutely loved this fabric. so modern that i wanted to model it.

cake wrecks

this made laugh. pretty hard. the rest of the blog is enjoyable, too.

a working vacation

this is what the significant other decided to do for his vacation. and hopefully we will no longer have a grub eatten, patch ridden backyard. here's hoping.

the kids enjoyed watching the work. isaac sat a long time in his chair.

this is doug's leveler. quite ingenious. though i am glad i didn't have to pull it.
