The papier-mache residue left by a thousand flyers.

(Wow, lj doesn't like the spelling of 1/3 of those words.)

Sean found a garter snake in our yard. I was so excited, because Sean always sees them and then they slither away before I can see them, let alone take a picture!

Another picture from my commute.

Liam is 10! I've known him for half his life!

Had a wonderful party/bbq/fireworks fest at our house! At one point, Henry just fell asleep in the middle of it all!

More in my July 4th set.

Also, Liam and me, by Jen.

Who asked for a picture of Sean smiling?

I got one!



Sean is admiring Henry's tandoori-eating abilities.

My first handspun yarn. I made the drop spindle, too! It's overspun and uneven, but I learned a lot, and I love it.

Pulled up all the beets today and put up three quarts of pickles!

State of the union (sorry, I couldn't resist): 31 stars done as of this picture, and I've completed all I can using a hoop*, so I was documenting my progress before mounting this piece in my scroll frame. The next time I see it laid out flat like this, it will be done! I had to trim down the long sides and add extra fabric to the short ones to get it mounted correctly, but now it's working great. I got another two stars filled over the weekend, so I'm 2/3 done!

*See the weird clusters of stars? That's what shows in the hoop at one time. I can't do it all that way because I don't want to crush any completed stars in the edge of the hoop.

( Also recently completed my socks! )

Hey, you're not supposed to be climbing on the table!

And it's still as awesome as it was then.

From our garden! I grew all of that from seed! I am so pleased!

That's about 5% of the beets. I think we're going to be making pickled beets this weekend, because I have to harvest all of them soon. Also, I didn't get a picture, but Henry spent a good 20 minutes wandering around the yard gnawing on a carrot with all the greens still attached, it was so cute. Sean made the peas into beef with snow peas (SO GOOD).

NOM NOM NOM.
