Signs of summer

My chair collection is growing. I have a vision for my dining room which is similar to this and this, and have been on the hunt for a set of vintage school chairs ever since. I stumbled upon this set quite by accident, and although they aren't the exact chairs I want, they will do for now.

Bejos boy is obsessed with buses. School bus, city bus, van...they are fall into the same category for this 2 year old. A school bus passes by our house no fewer than 6 times a day and it invokes squeals of delight each and every time. Each and every time, I kid you not. So what's a mother to do except re-create the one thing that he loves the best.

off my needles

I can post this project now that it rests in the arms of the recipients. I made one of these for my baby...two years ago!...and it has held up well

Friends

Having friends in town this weekend prompted an informal surprise baby shower and took us out of town for an afternoon.
