Sorry that the usual site is still down, but here's a link to some updates. Pictures coming soon! (hopefully)
first harvest
our gardening this year has been rather nominal: Caleb and I bought some plants (4 tomatoes, 2 cukes), dug some holes, put out a soaker hose, and pretty much ignored everything ever since. so I figured we wouldnt have great success, especially since I didnt clear the weeds too well when we started, but the veggies are [...]
| family movie
we took the kids to see Wall-E this past weekend…the first time we all went to a movie together. Caleb isn’t into loud or scary things, but this one seemed to be free of too much fright. there were a couple times with the loud spaceships that he would literally tremble (he was on my lap [...]
| question time
I’ve been realizing lately that I’m not a very good conversationalist. this is actually nothing new. I enjoy being around people, but all too often I never know what to say, and sometimes it drives me crazy. the same goes with Michelle, whom I love dearly but all to often do not communicate to well [...]
| our curly girl
for a long time Alice had pretty much no hair. of course she was still the cutest kid around, but we wondered just when she’d start growing a little hair. Caleb, you may recall, had a big bushy head of curls, and still does when we let it grow out.
but in the past year, Alice [...]
| daddy dates
I’ve been trying to take the kids out on “daddy dates” more lately. it started with taking one of them grocery shopping. it does us all good to get out of the house, and it’s fun doing activities with them. but groceries are a little mundane even if it is nice to have some individual time [...]

VBS Fun
We just finished up a great week of Vacation Bible School this afternoon. Caleb was hesitant to leave me in the beginning of the week and was absolutely loving it, in his quiet way, by the end. He loved all the crafts he got to make and the different activities. Alice [...]
| Casey’s Doll Quilt
I’ve been pretty much of a slacker in posting on my blog lately, as you may have noticed. So I need to play catch up in recording some things I’ve made in the last few months. I’ve not been up to a whole lot sewing wise but I did manage to make my niece [...]
| Fabric Sale Saturday!
I heard from a friend that the Chattanooga Theatre Center is having this incredible fabric sale Saturday morning. (that’s Sat. June 21st from 9am - 1pm) They are selling off yards and yards of vintage and new fabric all for $1 a pound! They are also selling over 1,000 patterns, $2 each or 3 for [...]
| Nature walk
I’ve begun to feel a little less tired as I enter my 2nd trimester and figure I should update my blog again! And I’m still holding out hope the nausea will start to get better, but 12 weeks has never been my magic number for ceasing to throw up. Hopefully it won’t last [...]
| sew much family
Hi sewing fans, this is Bob, guest-blogger and official husband of the Queen of Craftiness. Michelle asked me to post here b/c she’s been a little tired lately, but for a very, very good reason: we’re having another baby!!!
click here for all the details so far.

walk in the woods
I wrote a little song about walking in the woods with the kids (which you can read about here). the tune (so far) is a straight-up rip-off from a tune Death Cab’s new ablum (which I just got and enjoy). so here goes:
walk in the woods (tune: death cab’s Grapevine Fires)
(Am) last day of (C) [...]
| Ben Gibbard on songwriting and such
I’m not qute a fan (yet) of Ben Gibbard and DCFC, since I havent heard much yet. but I think I’ll like it once I get a chance to check his stuff out. he had a good quote about songwriting that brings out what I’ve felt about writing songs. it seems like there’s an unwritten [...]
| a dream come true
I’ve had lots of musical dreams over the years. I keep most of them to myself. one that I’ve always thought was rather attainable is to play music together as a family. sometimes we do a little and it’s usually a good time.
long ago Michelle played guitar. in fact she played a whole lot. but [...]
| Ed Bass
here’s another old Chattanooga story that I’ve tried to put in song. I think I want to add more to it, but here it is so far:
Here’s a rough demo MP3
His name was Ed Bass
He needed that road done fast
There wasnt a way around
To the south side of the town
The old warehouse was in his [...]
| Be My Nancy
here’s a song that’s a bit of a tribute to Norman and Nancy Blake, a legendary husband and wife guitar/mandolin duo. it’s also a little about marriage and how much I love making music and living life together. this is just a draft that could use a lot of editing and perhaps some consolidation and [...]
