February 25 – Window Dressing 2

Last week the windows were covered in sewing patterns,  this week fabric.

As I’m taking this photo, the shop’s owner peeks out and invites us in to her new, funky fabric store.

January 14 – Morning hair

Penny- This one’s for you.

You mentioned you were thinking of letting your son keep his long hair because the photos of Cole make long hair look so cute. I thought I’d show you what he looks like in the morning, just out of the shower. If he would let me take a picture of him while he’s holding it out of his soup, believe me, I’d post it.

I think the ipod headset is permanently attached. Darn those kids and their newfangled devices.

December 30 – Pasta & Bread

As part of a project last summer, Cole has been trying out new recipes. We were out of egg noodles and flush with ambition from reading The Silver Spoon’s Pasta book, received as a Christmas gift. I dug the pasta machine I originally bought for polymer clay out of its packaging and we went to work.  On the cooktop is turkey soup, made with the Thanksgiving carcass. (We had frozen it.)

Baking in the oven is our favorite bread from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. We keep some dough ready to go at all times.

What surprised me the most was how easy this meal was to pull together. Second surprise? No hair in the noodles!

December 27 – Poncho

Wade is an amazing shopper. He picked up that Snuggie for only $2.99, a gorgeous leather jacket for me at 85% off and four of these bad boys ($2.99 – 10%). That’s right, matching family ponchos.

His secret? The Bargain Hunter
