Matt is letting his hair grow as you can tell. I realized, today, that he must be going for the Vinnie Barbarino look: (think among yourselves.... don't forget to look later in the post for another striking example)






Clayton put this puzzle together ALL by himself. We are missing a few pieces, but they're around here somewhere.

Easter Eggs- a really late post

Recycled Leather Bracelets

Delia from Delia Creates had a terrific post of recycled accessories. I took her cue and went crazy. I have probably 10 more in the works using old buttons. I gave away a couple, but hope to sell some at a craft show this summer.

Easter Crafts-- Thanks Alisa Burke

Easter (another late post)

Get used to it. I have a bunch of photos to share that are kinda old...

On Easter day we went up to my parents' place. Brandt and Kim came and we had a ham Matt baked (w/ some yummy cherry something or other sauce), some spicy scalloped potatoes, corn pudding, green beans, Matt's homemade rolls...

Green Neck Warmer

Pretty Blues

This week, I made a couple of gifts for a family member. Thanks to Tom H. for his 0ld pants! The neck warmer is made from a recycled wool felted sweater, ribbon, fabric scraps, felt, and a fused glass piece I made.
