inconceivable

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: March 2, 2010
good grief, it’s more snow. i can’t even really believe my eyes. in fact, this is me, bumbling about the house today. in shock and disbelief. total denial. and dreaming of that happy place. inconceivable. it’s my word of the day. yesterday’s sunny, snow melting, 50 degree bliss was such a tease. thank god for new sunshine [...]

hello, march!

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: March 1, 2010
my gosh. i felt like we would never get here. and even though we are still under a whole bunch of snow, it’s beginning to feel a little bit spring-like out there. yesterday i heard a woodpecker in the back yard, and each morning, there are more birds singing their good morning songs. so this [...]

my friday

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: February 26, 2010
i smartened up recently. i realized that i *hate* cleaning house on the weekends, so i try to knock it all out on fridays. it’s nice to head into the weekend with all the week’s clutter put away, groceries in the fridge, and nothing on the to-do list. no chores on a sunday for me! this [...]

behind the scenes

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: February 25, 2010
i thought i would share a different view of a shop update with you. dotty’s room gets the best natural light during these winter months, so lately, i’ve been hauling in my dressform and a bin of items to shoot pictures of, and making it work in there. and it actually works out great- it’s easy [...]

new things

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: February 25, 2010
the birds are back. spring is around the corner, i can feel it. yesterday, about 200 robins showed up in my back yard, and picked a holly tree clean. i was standing at the kitchen sink when i looked out to see bird after bird after bird fly in and land. so i ran outside [...]

zip blap blip what day is it

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: February 18, 2010
these three are keeping me extra busy lately. dotty is so busy being an almost two year old- into e-v-e-r-y-thing. plucking something from it’s location and hurling it into space. leaving a trail of destruction, and i have all but given up on having a tidy house right now. and henry, he probably needs to [...]

happy friday

what a long week it was! i am happy to report that the kids are back in school today! oh, what a feelin’. 2 or 3 snow days feels like a treat- 8 is a different thing altogether. fortunately, the pill of having to go back to school after all that time off was made a [...]

snow day

By Jenny Mitchell | Published: February 8, 2010
it was zero degrees outside when we woke up this morning. ZERO! that just seems wrong. it’s warmed up a bit, and the sun is out, making the view from the comfort and warmth of dotty’s room quite nice. hey, as long as we don’t have to be outside, i’m ok. the kids built a fort [...]
