Inspired by Jean’s post the other day, I asked the kids if they wanted to do a science experiment yesterday when they came home from camp. “Yes!” was the resounding answer, although Stella suddenly got worried and asked me if we were going to need to hurt any animals to do the experiment. Um, no….
Getting Together with Other Artists
I went out last evening with what is tentatively being called Etsy Women of Wellesley (EWW – I think we may need a new name!).

chickens
Last week I took all three kids on a plane trip to visit my sister in D.C. It went surprisingly well, despite the fact that all of us, except the baby, have had a terrible stomach bug. My sister and her husband have a lovely new townhouse in Old Town, Alexandria. We celebrated my Dad's…

kangaroo prototypes
I'm deep in the throes of drafting a pattern for a kangaroo. It can be a tedious process, full of hope and anticipation and then frustration when the next draft, all sewn and stuffed, is still not right. It's going to be amazing, right? Hang in there. Keep going. I've been listening to these podcasts…
