Antiquing, Vintaging, and Consignment Shopping!
Wahoooooooooo!
It’s been a day of fun for me and two of my girls…and Tim and Tom!
I wasn’t sure if Gabi was really going to be up to the task of consignment shopping, she is her father’s daughter after all. Β But then, she ever so valiantly tagged along for this part of the trip. Β We even found her a few new tops for school in the fall!
What was on the agenda, you ask? Read more
“You’re so Cwabby?”
See this cute little hanging extender?
Well, I made it last week while Elena was here.
I love the little Hummingbird feeder, but it hung just way too high – we couldn’t see the little hummers feeding!
So off I went to find wire and my needle nose pliers.
Grab an end and twist…the other end and twist…
And Wha-laaaaaa!
It took all of 10 seconds.
I was so proud of myself!
I very loudly pronounced “I’M SO CRAFTY!”
Elena cocked her little head, looked at me and said “You’re so cwabby?”
I replied…”NO, NO, NOOOOOO”…”I’m so crafffffttttttyyyyy”.
She looked up at me again and said “Oh”.
And went off to play some more.
{sigh}
So much for my big proud moment…
It turned into a silly, giggle moment.
That’s ok, those are much more fun anyway!
I hope you have a good giggle today!

ps…Now that I look at it in the picture, I really could make it so much better…I might have to get craftier (not cwabbier). π

and the Dad, the Husband, and my Best Friend.
These are all terms to describe Timothy.
You’ve all read about the Math Teacher: Β Kudos to 20 Years of Teaching Math
He’s also a talented woodworker…yes, at times we call him “Tim the Toolman” although he’s much less accident prone than Tim Allen. Β He puts up with my brilliant hair-brained ideas…and calmly goes about building them. Β I have however, put my foot down…I’ve told him he can’t have a refrigerator and bathroom in his “shop”…because with three girls I may never see him again! Read more
