A few weeks ago I started a self-imposed "no computer until exercise is completed" daily regimen, and so I haven't been online much. That's not entirely true: I have been exercising quite regularly, but by after I've added the extra 30 minutes to my day I have a tough time fitting in much else. Despite the fact that I don't like to think about my smidgen of free-time going to such an unpleasant activity, it really has made me feel good to be working out again.
Monday I rearranged the kids' room, including moving their 500 lb solid wood bunk beds (just a guess on the weight) all by myself and the exercise plan is on hold until I can move my neck again. Their room looks SO much better, though, so it was totally worth it. :) (This is an inherited weaknesses.)
The kids played outside for several hours yesterday since it was in the 40's...pure bliss for mother and children. Here are a few of our recent inside activities, which I guess we will return to for the rest of this snowy week.
The two-way mirror bird feeder occupies lots of little moments throughout the day:
A cardboard box barn in process:
A sling, remnants from an upholstery project, a pair of wacky pants, and curtains become a patchwork pillow. Here's the tutorial I used when I taught this in the sewing class.
Hope to be back sooner rather than later. :)

Sorry about your neck! Neck/back pain is the WORST.
Where did you get that birdfeeder? wonderful. I would love something like that...
oh yes, you did innerit the rearranging gene!
The birdfeeder came from the basement of weird and wonderful things (i.e., PapaT).
um, i admit, i was a little disappointed that you didn't post pics of the kids' room. *sigh* but, it's okay. the other pictures were totally delightful. :)
