I do still sew...sometimes

I attended a baby shower last night, so I decided to make some baby things for the baby boy. It was a bit more difficult than I expected because I do not have a whole bunch of boyish fabric in my stash.

The results:





more pictures here
along with pictures from our cruise
and I got a new toy today, can't wait to try it out!

so these pictures kinda look like crap, sorry!

Happenings at my house

Piper and Finley have formed a "club" and their anthem is:

"Rub a dub dub, welcome to our club! YYEEEAAA HUMANS!"

and Piper tells me that " 'they' call us humans because we're not animals."

and munching on some pretzels that are "exquisite" and "divine" Piper informs her sister:

"Do you want to know where I learned words like that, Finley? Well, when you're in the club longer you'll learn all kinds of words."

"Do you enjoy this club, Finley?"

indeed.

When Mac Was Swimming
The Innocence Mission

when mac was swimming,
I was running late
walking around New Orleans
looking for a birthday cake.
it was a great surprise to him so many people came.


nobody knows, darling,
nobody knows how they are loved
don't worry, my darling
the sun is coming up.

let's get up early now
dive clear into the day
let's get out of the car with open arms
not wait to be embraced
the flowers that bloomed, the things that happened since the day you came


nobody knows, darling
nobody knows how they are loved
don't worry, my darling
the sun is coming up

nobody knows, darling
nobody knows how they are loved
don't worry, my darling
the sun is coming up



nobody knows, darling
nobody knows how they are loved
don't worry, my darling
the sun is coming up

For Noah and Tiffany

Now we feel no rain, for each of us will be a shelter to the other.
Now we feel no cold, for each of us will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no loneliness, for each of us will be a companion to the other.
We are two bodies, but there is one life before us and one home.
When evening falls, I'll look up and there you will be.
I'll take your hand; you'll take mine and we'll turn together
to look at the road we traveled to reach this: the hour of our happiness.
It stretches behind us, even as the future lies ahead.
A long and winding road, whose every turning means discovery.
Old hopes, new laughter, shared fears.
The adventure has just begun.


Congratulations!
