And I have a secret for you gamers... Mr. Kukubee is working on a new online game called Glitch. I'm worried that my girls and I are going to be fighting over the comp to play this...

Then click on "scheduled at"...

Edit your date & time your post will be scheduled...

Then hit publish.  It's blogging magic <3

Fun summer dresses for the girls...

I'm finally getting to post these pics of the girls in their Oliver + S popover sun dresses...

These dresses were super easy to make.  I whipped them up in no time.  The first I made in a yellow color for the baby, then an Abby & Elmo print which is difficult to see.  It's getting increasingly hard to photograph her because she is go go go all the time!  Emily chose yellow and purple colors, they're bright like she is :)

I was inspired by blog posts from Kath over at My Little Girl's Closet.  She has started a great feature called Sew Along!  You should try it out!  I learned how I should resize a pattern... when I get time to actually DO it I'll know how :D

New typewriter, plastic bag recycling fun, and Etsy finds surprise...

Yesterday was wonderful.  We started out looking for some straight razors for Mike.  That means hitting all the antique places we can looking for razors in good condition.  No nicks in the blade and good scales (handle thing-y).  If you antique, you know you can't just walk into a shop and walk back out without browsing!  I saw a gorgeous Typewriter.  It said $35.  It was a little dusty.  I was skeptical about it.  It was sitting on a case that I thought came with that typewriter.  We left the shop and I was going on about so much, Mike turned around.  I asked the wonderful man about it and if the case came with it.  To my surprise, there was another typewriter under the first!  A great deal cleaner & has a very neat look.  He took $30!  YES!

  

Then we went to Art in the Park sponsored by Sheboygan Visual Artistsb.  We had a blast making kite-type structures out of plastic bags with Michelle, from {almost} nothing new.  Here's her Etsy shop... almostnothingnew.etsy.com

And I couldn't let Mike have all the fun...

Then I wake up this morning and check my e-mail and see this...

ETSY FINDS!

( ... sorry everyone, the jug is SOLD! yay! )
