for the fort





I thought the boys needed some cushions for their new fort.  I found some sale outdoor fabric at Joann's (our only local source for fabrics)--same pattern in three different colors, which also happened to be their favorites.  They carry outdoor foam as well...not cheap, that's for sure, but the boys seem to like them a lot and Kaylo even helped me sew them!

And our little farmgirl is 4 months old today--I want to stop time right now...we are loving every minute with her!

latest project







Anytime my parents visit, they tackle a project around the farm. 
This time, the long awaited treefort building has begun!  
The boys are *very* excited. :)

yesterday






My mum and dad are visiting for a few days. 
The kids had a fun day with them while I was at work...
planting seeds
snuggling
doing schoolwork

We're enjoying their visit so much!

busy






Finished the afghan that I started before Fenna's birth.  It really was a quick knit for such a large project.  Hope my sister-in-law likes it!

And some simple mugs for mother's day gifts.  Just some gloss enamel paint baked on plain mugs. Interested to see how they wear with use.

I've been feeling overwhelmed, underwater, maxed out...however you want to call it.  
And it's only the start of our "busy season".  Not much crafting going on this week!
