Lots of pictures - part 3 - Happy 7th Birthday, K.!

Easter was also K.'s 7th birthday. He was so excited about his birthday and about turning 7 that he happily announced it to everyone he saw. We even thought for a moment that he was going to announce it to the whole congregation when we walked into the sanctuary for church. He didn't and I wasn't sure whether I was relieved or disappointed.

This little boy has come so far... it has been a joy to witness. He is still small and still a bit delayed, but as he gets older and is able to do more things, those two years he lost will make less and less of a difference. At this point, we are sitting back and watching what he can do.

So, Happy Birthday, my dear boy. You are happy and bouncy and full of life and enthusiasm. He give hugs and kisses and are so sweet to all of your sisters. I am so glad you are my son and I love you very much.

Here are some pictures from his birthday celebration that we had on Monday. He desperately wanted to invite his best buddy, P5, so he was included as well.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
