all dressed up and no where to go



We collect vintage aprons with every intent to make something great out of them.
While they wait,
we figured the window might like to wear them.
The kitchen window is just a bit too wide in my opinion, but you get the idea.
If you do have a wider window,
 it would be easy to just cut the apron strings off at the ends,
slide a tension rod through as many as you need, 
and hang!
No sew!

bored sick

literally.

you would think that with a fever she'd want to rest, but no.
so I put her to work building trees out of...
wooden spools
twigs
and beads

blocks are best


my kids still love blocks,
 and the place they love playing them the most is on the deck.
we keep a crate of "outside" blocks and animals out there all summer.
