I’ve received some really wonderful mail in the past week. I keep meaning every day to post photos and write thank you cards and share all the happy wonderful cute things that keep popping up in my mailbox but my swelling to overcapacity body has slowed me down to a crawl. Tonight Junebaby seems to have decided that sleeping is for chumps and so here we are up at 3am. Perfect time to catch up! I’m getting the feeling that … More

a quick pop in on the craft room
Back in the old apartment before we moved I would sit around at night daydreaming about decorating and styling glamorous photo shoots of every "corner of my home" with big dramatic results. The reality, as I keep saying (rather defensively) is it’s just an everything-in-a-place-any-place free for all over here. I feel like an ass for not wanting to share my amazing new craft room because it isn’t just so or not wanting to show all the pics of Oscar’s … More
what’s better than a flat box
my most favorite thing to do these days is to tear the bottom tape off a box and break that brother down! then I stack em and take them to the garage in big satisfying piles. and maybe I talk a little smack at them too. it’s me against them these days and they will not win.
here are a few unearthed items from the last few days…

a dull read
Ok. I figured out the most boring thing to blog about yet… unpacking. There’s nothing to say about it. A long, messy, cluttered, unglamorous progress. The end result might not suck but still it’s that just-moved-in unpacked. Not that smartly appointed, just the right knick knack, everything in its perfect place thing that happens way way down the road.
For now it’s just going to have to be little snippets here and there…

home sweet home
We’re here! We made it! It’s amazing… a miracle really. How those one gazillion bits of stuff and junk made it from there all the way over to here completely stuns me. We had the very best movers ever. They knocked it OUT! The best moving experience I’ve ever had. If you’re in the Chicagoland area and moving I highly recommend them… usa movers.
We’re falling over tired, completely surrounded by a fortress of boxes to unpack, ikea furniture … More
thank you Vicki!
Ok, I’m starting to get pretty excited when the postman rings my bell. Of course today he punished me for my eagerness by delivering maternity underwear and stamps. But look what he brought me yesterday! This gorgeous little doll quilt from Vicki!
Isn’t it yummy! Is it my pregnant-ness or does it make everyone want to dive head first into a strawberry shortcake. Getting to that point where everything reminds me of a treat. I just love these bright … More
a wall for us
We’ve found a wall for all Junebaby’s doll quilts! And it’s attached to a pretty nice 1958 ranch house that we went and bought for ourselves this weekend. Well, have agreed to buy for ourselves for the next 30 years. We’re feeling very lucky. It’s got so much we were looking for…a well taken care of, one owner home, some nice original mid-century mod touches left alone, updated things you want updated (roof, furnace, etc) and all the space we … More
