Bits of Our Wednesday

 
wednesday
Today is first quiet day we’ve had in a while. I took the kids with me for a quick visit to our accountant’s office, which meant a stop on the way home at the really large Goodwill nearby.

Planted…


We did some agressive tidying and planting in the front yard over the weekend.

But it was such an enjoyable project to make, all it took was me cleaning out the studio shelf it was on to remember how much I loved it.READ MORE
