We're about halfway done with the crewel project. Taimi is as much of a perfectionist as I ever could be. She has measured out the space between each piece of art to make sure everything lines up. I'm hoping by next week we'll have the whole collection hung. I can't...
Hope y'all have been staying warm and safe! The boys and I have been enjoying the snow to the fullest. There's a great hill down the road we always sled down and this year some kids moved into a house uphill even higher, so our sledding hill got much taller. The kids...
