Knox's 1st Photo Shoot.

Just a few of all the perfect photos. Thanks to our friend Suzanne.

Veggies in the garden.

Here is the veggie garden and grass today. My parents have grown fruits and veggies for our family all my life and even before my life. It is such a delight to have to space for my own garden now. And with the help of my parents everything is growing in perfect.


Bell Peppers. I planted one green bell plant and one yellow bell plant.


Heirloom tomatoes. My absolute favorite. I love the mini heirloom too.


Roma tomatoes. These are easy to grow ... thats why the market has them so cheep.


These are the beginnings of a white pumpkin plant and two black zucchini. Tucked inside a homemade planter box ... thanks Pop.

Meet Knox.

Our new puppy. He is an 11 week old Teacup Maltese. He only weighs 1.4 pounds and when he is full grown he will be around 3.5 pounds. We LOVE him.

Labor of Love.

I made these dolls for our nieces for Christmas ... and they fell in love. It will be the gift that keeps on giving because the pattern came with a few outfits to make. I got the pattern from the Wee Wonderfuls shop.

Christmas Colors.

One of our traditions is to choose a color theme for our tinsel tree and presents. Once we have little ones ... we will probably get a real tree and fill it with ornaments made by them and their cute little faces in Santa frames. Until then our decor is art. Here are the colors from last year. Happy Holiday.

Who Knew.

Who knew that we could paint a canvas ... and then like it enough to hang it on our wall. We mixed all the paint from primary colors to get these colors. It took about two weeks to complete. The drying between colors took up most of the time.

We will be changing the colors in our living room soon ... and I am thinking a newly painted canvas.

I couldn't get a good photo of the whole canvas. So this is one side of it and a close-up.

Sad Day.

Today is a sad day. We'll miss you Hoover family.

The Last Minute.

My niece is turning seven. She is having her party on Sunday ... and I waited until this morning to iron, cut, sew up and stuff this kitty. I have an issue with waiting until the last minute ... but only when it comes to sewing. I think in part it is because I sew well under pressure. I get things done faster than I normally do and the quality is still the same. Hopefully I will get the hand sewing on kitty done in time.

Two Artists in our Home.

When you get two artists living together ... EVERYTHiNG ... becomes art. That being said. For Christmas every year we do a color theme. This year we choose black and white. And the labels went on the back ... to stick with the color theme. A few years ago we decided on a tinsel tree ... in our efforts to go green.



Since (nyk-lectic) was only established this year. Here are the photos of the color theme last year.



We have already decided the colors for next year ... but you'll have to wait and see. Happy Holidays.

The Get Along Gang.

Do you remember The Get Along Gang? Most likely ... you don't. It was one of my favorite cartoons. On the television from 1984 to 1986. Anyway ... that is what these little plushies remind me of. They are a gift for my nieces. Each of the girls got to pick the fabric for their doll. The pattern came from the inspiring ... Hillary Lang over here at Wee Wonderfuls. And below is a photo of the real Get Along Gang.

In Loving Memory.

One of the BEST men to ever live. My gramps taught me all the GREAT things that I know. And he had more LOVE than one could imagine. Now he is my angel and I know one day he will come for me.

Rest In Peace Grandpa.
I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU.
