Time zone clocks

We thought it would be fun to put up clocks for the time zones of each of our children. I embroidered a new face for each clock and we posted them on the wall over the door to the back yard. They are arranged from west to east.

hike through Garden of the Gods

Jonathan and I went for a hike through the Garden of the Gods today. He had the day off from work, so we took advantage of the sunshine before the thunder storm hit the area.

Happy Easter

new storage rack for craft room

Last Saturday, Jonathan and I went to Home Depot to buy supplies for building a storage rack from my bins of fabric in the craft room. Jonathan had seen a similar rack in a magazine, we bought the supplies for a bigger one for about a 1/3 of the cost.

He spent 3 days cutting, fitting, disassembling and reassembling after gluing the pieces.

This is the craft room with the bins stacked in the middle to make room to install the new rack.

The new rack in place.

The finished project. It will be so wonderful not to have to lift extra bins trying to get to the one I need (which of course is almost always on the bottom of 2 or 3.) These bins are heavy- they are full of fabric!

I can't wait to get started on some new sewing projects.

Snow Day Mar 29 (Tues)

This is what we woke up to last week on Tuesday. Jonathan took this shot from our backyard, facing north.

Today the weather is supposed to be in the high 70s!! Everything is very dry though, and there are wildfires in several places around the state.
