oh, hello

what, I have a blog?!

You might say that we've been 'nesting' these past couple of months. We have more projects going on than we've had time to finish. That being said, blogging has definitely taken the back burner.

Here's a small glimpse of what the past 2 months have been like for us:

Canning! I kinda love it. What you see is our storage filled with canned fresh garden produce: pickles, green beans, tomatoes, apricots, peaches and strawberry, apricot and peach jam. We'll be eating well this winter!

Here's just one of the many diy projects: our cradle. After sewing these bumpers I swore I'd never attempt sewing bedding again, then I found the perfect fabric, and borrowed Christie's much nicer sewing machine, and have since sewn the crib bedding. So I've become somewhat of a make-up-your-own-patterns seamstress. Now we have pillows, blankets and two sets of baby bedding. whew! Another new hobby? I think yes!

Here's Bruce's guest appearance at one of our fav nephew's birthday parties.
Introducing Sg. Locked and Loaded.
He loved it, the young little soliders loved it and I loved it! I only hope we'll have our own little battilion of darling boys one day.
And yes, you can rent him out for your children's theme parties too.

I don't know how it happened, but I think Bruce and I were nominated without our knowledge to represent the hard-working class of Americans. We've both worked like dogs this summer (Bruce especially!) Check out some of his awesome jobs!

And we became homeowners! yay!

And of course, last but not least, I've been growing a human:
