Where are you?

We have been waiting and waiting for you to come Winter. It hasn't snowed in a week and even then it was just a dusting. They came by this week and cleared the snow banks on the sides of the road and now the streets are about eight feet wider. They left the very interesting strata layer of snow and melt. We have been struggling with Winter this year. It doesn't seem to want to get

You would think that being Valentines Day I would have some mushy lovely thing. Well if you knew me you'd know I probably wouldn't. Instead I'm going to show you some old plaster and how my love shows me "the love" everyday. It was the begining of September that we finally got the 2x4 framing out of the new/original hallway to the front bedroom. We've been living with these bare plaster

We have been working on these little map globes together and now have quite a lot of them. Soon I hope to figure out how I am going to string them together for a garland over the windows. I found these on pintrest.com and here I was so lucky that we found a great Atlas to cut up at the Goodwill.

I love pegboard! We finally got around to organizing the tools so we can find them, (we have at least two of everything!) and I realized how useful pegboard is! Perfect solution for my sewing studio. I can never find those little tools you need like seam rippers, or attachments for the sewing machines, or cutting tools. Now they are all right there within arms reach. Now if only I

My kids got these little planes at the local bowling alley as prizes for the gaming area. They are cute and fly really well, but when we brought home a stash of over 10 I had a thought. Well a thought besides, "Great, I'll be taking all these destroyed planes out of the mouth of the dog." What if we hung them in a grouping for a mobile. A few months later with a new set of planes, my

This has been keeping me warm. Bread hot from the oven. I have got to get a loaf started this morning. What I am really wanting however is this: Warm from summer please! Or blueberries picked along the shore, raspberries bought from a roadside kid. I guess since we hit mid winter I'm ready to move on. We went to a midwinter festival this weekend. It was really snowing too, but not

Garden planning, a photo by scatterville on Flickr.What do you do when your expecting 8 more inches of snow on top of your already over two feet of snow? Plan your garden. We have a very small yard with the bulk of the back yard a large slope of rocks. This makes planning very tricky. I was quite pleased that our initial planning involved almost everyone in the family. So far we have two

January is in full swing. Around here that means lots of snow. We feel we are finally getting the snow we were promised and are now wondering things like: • how much snow is too much on the mudroom roof? • how are we going to get the roof snow rake out of the shed that is snowed shut? We are expecting another 8 inches tomorrow. I love snow. That's a good thing right? My daughter

Yes! More snow! I love snow. Not so much when it's brown and melting. Totally in love with it when it's coming down. Especially big fat snowflakes! We got over 18 inches a few days ago and today we have gotten another four so far. Unfortunately this means the snowmobilers are out in full force. They are perfectly fine in the day, I know they love to play in snow as much as I do, but

I may have hit upon something. We homeschool and that involves me sitting with two boys for long periods of time to oversee their math. Our daughter is very self directed in math and often does it when she first wakes up in the morning. Anyway, these long periods of me waiting for boys to finish math can be maddening! Really! Today I broke out my knitting that I started yesterday and instead

After trying snowboarding last week, and the adults being quite bruised up, we are switching gears to snowshoes. Much less falling down hopefully because I don't think my bum can handle more of that! Now we are just waiting patiently for more snow to fall so that we can go walking in the woods. It has been such a warm dry winter so far. We did manage a 2 foot snow last week but it all melted

It's amazing how a new color can change a whole room's feeling. How you can go from loathing a room to suddenly feeling alive and inspired a day later in the same space. Our studio is quickly becoming this way. We hit upon the perfect color and I wanted to convey how in awe I am of how you can feel in a room. More pictures to come! This was the before color but it really looks better in the

We finally got a good snow. We have been so warm and dry this winter that I am beginning to think they exaggerate being the 3rd snowiest place in the US! We did get a good one finally but the winds were howling at 50 mph so it was really thin in some places and big drifts in others. Here's nice drift outside our house. The average snowfall here in Jan. is 65". We'll see how that goes.

The day came. I fell and was very tired after just an hour. Then after a long lunch my love and I decided to give it another try. Our class was attempting to go up the T-Bar. When your snowboarding you are supposed to put the bar between your legs and hold on to the pole and keep you balance on the board while it glides up the hill. Only since we were all learning how to get on it, the

After a false start a few weeks ago it looks like this might be winter. The ski hill is making snow like crazy, and mother nature is helping along. She gave us 8 wet inches the night before last and then yesterday despite the weathermen saying there would be no significant accumulation it snowed 3 more inches of the finest snow I have ever seen. My youngest was blowing it off the porch rails

My new favorite corner of my home, with the skeins of yarn waiting patiently to become something warm. Our annual Christmas village decorating all got put out and arranged just right. And this boy with his very first pie. I'm sure it won't be his last. I am also loving today: • boat horns in the morning and watching the bridge lift to it's highest heights to let the boat pass under. •

We really lucked out this week. I have been planning a kitchen remodel that we keep putting off and have already picked out a range and new fridge. So the other day after fighting with my cheapskate range I decided to pull up the one I had picked out on the internet and drool over it. I was just floored when I saw it was on sale for $300 off! A quick, can we buy it? And it was ordered. It

We think this must be the start of winter. The 8 inches of snow are not the first hint, we imagine with an average of 300 inches that's just the beginning. No the hint was that they started making snow of the ski hill yesterday. To see those puffs of snow coming out just brought excitement that soon we will get to strap on snowboards and go. We are learning and watching from the neighbors

I worked on the entry this weekend, along with starting on our studio. We are itching to get to work, sewing and drawing in there. We are quite happy had the entry way turned out! There is so much more room for coats now! Plus boot trays! Which are full. I love that this cost us so little. The only things I needed to buy were the folding clothes drying rack and the boot trays.

We had our first snow. Before the snow even flew I found my dream of the mudroom off the kitchen was not going to work. I forgot something as simple as heat. There is no heat in there. Not only that there are two broken windows under a board, a door, and a dog door, so I don't think we want to store our frozen coats there. This is not working for me either. There are no boot trays and

I would love to post more but my love took my camera up to work, and I've been sick with a cold this week, so we have not moved from the house. No projects have been done, and although we did escape last Sunday to drive to the Lake for my love to see the leaves changing, we forgot the camera. I have been spending a ton of time planning, drawing, redrawing, erasing, starting over, changing and

Our seasons are really starting to change here, we had our first frost already and I have been watching the trees across the canal change color daily. We have also had the most amazing sunsets. They really do take your breathe away, and I feel honored to be able to watch them every night. The changing of the temperatures have brought a new sense of scrambling here. We had to hurry and

Our car had a problem last week and it was not drivable. That meant we had a week with no car. That was a huge problem in our last house, but here it was really not that big of deal, once I got over the shock of it. The thought of being stuck in the house for a week made us get creative. First we moved here to get active, second it is not hot here. We walked the mile to the library to return

We took a mine tour last weekend, It was really neat to see into the mining lives of the local copper miner especially since the houses on our block are mining houses. We started in the Shaft Hoist House. This giant wheel is what pulled not only the copper ore to the surface but also the miners themselves. It was quite impressive that there were 96 levels to this mine and I can not imagine

Eureka! Look at those wide plank wood floors! They are going to be so cool, but they are also going to be so much work! Look at the plywood they put over the whole floor. There was a wall here when we moved in. This one in fact: It also was not original to the house and WAS the entrance to the front bedroom which my daughter sleeps in.

I got the office painted my neutral off white color that the rest of the house has been painted so far. My poor children thought I had gone round the bend, since we usually paint every room in our house a different bright color. I had to have something neutral in this house though for the time being to cover that SALMON color. I do not know how this house will feel in the long winter months

Bedrooms: What will be our Master Bedroom We wanted to have our bedroom on the main level and leave the top floor a kid only floor. So we had the choice of the "office" which doesn't have a door or a light, but does have the bathroom in it. Our other choice is this bedroom right off the kitchen. It's about the same size, has no overhead light but does have a light switch with a plug that is

We've got most of the entry painted. We pulled up the carpet and they had painted the wood floors an ugly beige. This really wouldn't have been a horrible, terrible thing except...they didn't sand the floor first and there was enough gloss to the floor that the paint isn't sticking. This means I can't paint right over it. My daughter had a great idea. She exclaimed that the light was not

We moved to the UP. We are now Yoopers. We are so excited, not only that we get to see nature, daily! But the outdoors here is part of life. There are bike lanes all over the town, hiking/crosscountry skiing trails, a downhill ski hill across the canal. And the Canal! Oh My, I am in love. Everyday the canal looks different. It's a different color, the water is calm, it is choppy, it is

That's right I am going to Ignore the bathrooms today and work on getting rid of the Salmon Color. Eww. We have already gotten it out of the living room, and dining room. It is still in the entryway and the office. I hope to get it done today. Then we can go back to trying to figure out the bathrooms.

Really I didn't mean to. I just wanted to caulk the shower doors because water was leaking out of them. I noticed that the wall looked wet. I explored them and they were, very wet. So I quickly cut off all the wet drywall, then noticed the water had gone down to the floor. We knew from last weeks adventure of uncovering the wood floors that were probably wood floors under this cheap laminate

It's been raining here like every three days, which is why I haven't gotten that fence stained yet. The garden however is in heaven and I was wishing I had about four more garden beds. Here's my lovely green beans:And we have the largest tomato, can't wait to eat that one:And the garden as a whole.

Things are looking good here in Scatterville. Summer is blooming, the tomatoes are huge already with six or so little green ones already. I think this year I am going to regret planting 22 tomatoes, but after last years failure of the six I did plant I was not going to take any chances. We got an offer on the old Scatterville, and I have held off posting about it because I did not want to jinx

Saturday while the rest of the midwest was expecting snow, blizzard like conditions it was supposed to be cold here. You know grab your parkas, gloves and hats. R and I laugh to ourselves in our longsleeves. Cold to us is when the snot freezes in your nose. It was not cold. Sunday it rebounded into the 70's and K, W and I headed to the local u-pick farm for the first round of their

This is from my new book weekend sewing. I love this shirt, but I like short sleeves and being a Lot bigger then the normal B cup that patterns are made for I knew I had to make adjustments to the pattern. So using the directions here I got to work. I am very happy with the results in the bust, the back seems a little tighter then I would like as do the sleeves. This was my muslim try, using

I've been quite busy. Despite starting school work again this week I have been able to get the children to do it early in the day so I can do "other" things. Yesterday we constructed a garden bed. Today I shoveled off some of the grass to transplant it to where the gas men left huge dirt paths in my yard. We moved some carrot seedlings around, they were every where but where they should be.

She was tired of looking at that guy below. I don't blame her. Sorry I haven't been here often, I like to hang out at Facebook and the little stuff I say doesn't need pictures or anything! Life is busy. Spring is here and that means projects galore. This weekend we went to Ikea and scored some bathroom cabinets for $30 each. We had to get three because, well we have three bathroom sinks. We

R was invited to the White House this week, although he could not make it. Dang that would have been expensive. But his Ornament for the White House Tree did make it and Laura Bush announced her Red, White and Blue Christmas. So for the rest of us who could not make it to see the ornament anyway, here it is.I am very excited and proud for him. He is taking it all in strides.

We lost one of our best friends last week. He thought he was a dog, and loved being an outside/inside kitty. He always thought of himself as a barn cat, and that he still lived out in the country. This meant that he would saunter across the street at a his leasure. Because of his laid back attitude we renamed him from Marshmallow to Marsh E. Mellow. We called him Marshy for short. He got

One of the down falls of where I live is we do not get a beautiful fall. Most of the trees in our yard, just fall off the tree, without even thinking about changing colors. They just give up and drop off. My neighbor has one of the only trees on the block changing colors and I have a gorgeous shot of it right out of our bedroom window. I thought I would share it with you.

Our Homeschool group went to a civil war day activity where they had "actors" who told us about different areas in the civil war time. Some of these included, a field nurse, cooks, a medicine man, soldiers, spinners, weavers, blacksmiths, and teachers. Although we found out that in the time of the civil war there were no public schools or even one room school houses. Instead most students were

So that post was there forever... My tomatoes did ok... I went out daily and shook the little flowers and on one plant was able to harvest about 30 tomatoes. None of the other six plants produced anything. I have not had a successful planting season. My green peppers have taken off since it started to cool slightly and I do have one red one ready to pick and about three more on the way. I

1. Make something-Hmm... I made lots of bread this week. Two loaves of whole wheat bread from the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking. I also made a Ciabatta from recipe zaar. These became some really good panini sandwhiches. I also made a pan of FoodieFarmGirls Blueberry Breakfast Bars and it was soooo Good.2.

The pumpkins have been planted in the back corner of the yard. I realize it is mostly shaded, and the soil back there is crap but I just had to try. We made mounds of potting soil and planted, jumbos, pie pumpkins and regular pumpkins. They have already began to pop up. We are hoping that we can have a renegade pumpkin patch much like Hagrid's in the Harry Potter movies.The compost bin is now

1. Make something-I found a tutorial at sewmama on how to alter a pattern for a full breasted woman. Let me tell you I am at least an E. Anyway I used a pattern that I had here for a shirt and made it into a wrap shirt which I love but they never fit the girls right. It was a success in the altering of the pattern, but since I made it out of scrap it is not worth showing you the details.

My young wizard who at the age of almost 6 has been listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone very intently for a 5 year old, made himself a wand and a broom stick. Putting those together with his fathers hat and some glasses, he looks just like a young blond harry potter, much to the delight of his mother. This is K's idea of cooling off.

We decided Saturday to load up the kids and head on an adventure to Dallas. Armed with Harry Potter on CD we drove over to Lula B's and found it to be a fabulous antique store dealing mostly with midcentury things. We did find the perfect couchbut it was much to much money for it's condition. We could have bought a new one for that amount. Still lovely. Next we piled in again and headed up

I was looking at the blog Farm Dreams and she is posting weekly her goals and what she had done for Indendence Day Challenge. I really liked it but since my garden is so little and our storage situation bad (No basement or garage), I am not likely to start this challenge. However reading it made me probe myself, and what things would I like to try to do every week. I do have a list, so here it

It has been over a week and almost going on two weeks where I have not prepared a meal with meat in it. I am thrilled, as I have wanted to go vegetarian for years, although lack the follow up to it. I will miss BBQ burnt ends, but since I don't make them and only eat them a few times a year it's not really an issue. We are not going vegetarian for the obvious reasons but instead are tired of

We have been very busy around here lately. Trying to establish new habits, like brushing our teeth every night, turning off the kitchen light (that's mine), doing some school work , and adjusting to dad being home a lot more. We have not sold the old scatterville and we may not for quite a while with this market. It is rather depressing. With gas prices so high we are not even sure we will

Please visit a story of stuff today. I watched it with my kids and we are now committed to watching what we buy and when. We do recycle two giant containers a week and have limited our trash by lots since moving to a town with road side recycling, but we feel we can do more.

finally it is done enough to put it on the market. The wood floors still need done but the rest is finished minus, a few knobs, a stair rail in the basement and a light there too. So here's the pictures of our one room school house, gutted and turned into a 2 bedroom 2 bath home.

It's my birthday... I used to always have these expectations, someone else would clean the house, cook dinner, bring me flowers, a cake etc. It never happened. I was always grumpy, crampy (I always seem to be menstrating!) and just plain not fun to be around. Then last year the worst happened. (OK it could have been MUCH worse but still.)I sat in the very cold house in Scatterville watching

after many many months of losing the cord, the charger, the battery and the camera itself, we found all the pieces to my old camera that has been given to the kids. Here are the pictures that K took.

We will be tackling another bathroom here at the new scatterville. I got sick of the yucky peed on carpet that was remaining in there and ripped it out during Thanksgiving break. Yes most people head to the mall... I start demo work. :) So this is the before. I always forget to post before pictures. Notice the lovely vinyl tiles, the wallpaper (I hate wallpaper), and the ducks!

Ugh. sorry bout that. The kids and I have had a very busy month filled with lots of Toontown playing, and Wii and other mindblowing activites. It's pretty boring, but you know once you start playing a game you just keep going until you've gotten to the end or bored with it. Toontown has gotten neither for the kids and we have bought an account for them to go to the other playgrounds.We

We celebrated in style this year! Our homeschool group had talk like a pirate day at the park and we all got dressed up and even had a treasure hunt to look for hidden booty! We all had a blast and to our suprise there were several school classes at the park when we arrived. The kids were all taken back by the swords and hooks and eye patches we wore, especially seeing moms with them on. They

We went letterboxing with our homeschool group last month, it's almost time for our next adventure. Here are the pictures someone took, looks like K was hiding during most of them, actually she was up at the front of the group with a few other girls. Here we are at the parking lots listening to the instructions to find our first clue. I believe T is sharing all of his wisdom with us here. The

I have belonged to paperbackswap.com for several years and just love that I am able to make a wish list of books that I want or my children want. Even better I can put homeschool books on my wish list and they seem to suddenly appear at my house before I need them. I really love receiving expensive hard cover books that I have been wishing for but can never seem to find the money to buy.Here's

We are usually the ones holding up the movement. Well W is I am just usually with him waiting.......

I have been admiring all the pictures on other blogs and have decided to use my beautiful camera to post my own family, yard and house. So here are some shots from this morning.First I had to take a picture of my "solar clothes dryer". I think it's quite funny that these are now a thing to take pictures of. I have had one at each of my houses, installed by me mostly. I have always loved the

If you know me at all you know that I could never leave anything alone. This house had some serious ugly going on in the dining room and family room. Well here is part of the fix.this is what this wall looked like before. Notice the very ugly plastic chandeler is gonemaybe later today I'll actually clean the tools off of the kitchen table so you can see how the whole room looks!

Poor W... he is desperate. Really wants to wade down the creek in the back yard to retrieve these yellow things...I however did not want to wade in the sometimes a bit smelly creek to help him and he was afraid to do it himself. Maybe today he'll get brave or I'll get my feet stinky and wet.

Well we are taking the slow and long approach to moving. The truck got here on Friday. It sat until later Saturday after our garage sale and then we started loading it. Finally Tuesday afternoon we got it full and pack up. We actually used 1 foot less then what we said we would use. The company is coming to pick up the trailer this afternoon. We stayed in a hotel last night, the thought of

The green color is lovely, the floors still need refinished but the trim and paint is mostly done.

W had his 5th birthday on the 6th. We woke up early and headed to the Omaha Zoo. We spent the entire day there and by 5pm we were all thoroughly exhausted, and very hot. It was 100 degrees that day. These birthday cake pictures were taken at 9pm that night after our two hour drive home.

This is our new kitchen. We are really excited about the metal cabinets and being able to have someone come in and paint them. They are in perfect order. The carpet is gonna go first thing! We are debating between some Ikea wood floor, laminate or having someone come in and refinish the concrete floor.Next up is the Master bedroom... notice the bathroom off of it... with a shower.

But now we need to sell two houses. Thankfully this one is not in bad shape. Our problem is that we want to make it even better. So yesterday we gutted our bathroom upstairs except for the toilet and

I am still working on the Master bedroom. I can't find my camera or I'd show you pictures of the distaster area. My muscles are sore, they hurt, my poor shoulders ache, and the ceiling need to be sanded still. I was hoping to get the ceiling painted today but there is so much sanding left.Curses to the people who did bad patch jobs. Curses to me for caring what the ceiling looks like. On
