I am participating in Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com, but unlike most of the other participants who plan their menus and post them that week, I’m always a bit behind, and I post my menus a week later. I do this so that I can let you know if I try a new recipe and...
This week Ella used her new-found sewing skills to learn how to embroider. I bought this very simple embroidery kit at Sewn Studio in Oakley. She finished it quite quickly with no help from her mama and she was so pleased with herself. She even added her name to the bottom of it in stitches...

I have not sewn in many months, and I was really missing it. Even though I hadn’t been sewing I had still been shopping, so I have quite a few lovely patterns I’ve collected with the thought of making them into skirts for Ella. So this week I dusted off the sewing machine, which is...
Last week we attended an art show at Baker Hunt in Covington. Ella has been taking art classes there for several years.
