Now for introductions! I'm R. and have pretty much told you about me. My darling husband is Captain, quiet and, reserved until you get to know him! Aaron is my oldest, he is 9.5 and all boy, loves doing anything he is told not to. He gives us so much trouble, but we figure he'll grow into a brain surgeon or rocket scientist one day. William is in the middle, just turned 7, ladies man and all around goofball. Julia is our only girl and just turned 6, a tomboy in skirts. God blessed me with a real girly girl that loves pink, princesses, swirly dresses but is also loves catching bugs, climbing trees and getting messy. No diva or drama queen here! The youngest is JJ, he is almost 2, talks a mile a minute, funniest little red headed boy ever. And then there's the fur people, Toby the pomapoo, Max the tiny pup that showed up in the driveway 5 days after we moved in, 4 nameless cats we adopted from the shelter, plus 3 guinea pigs we got at the flea market. So far we've had 7 chickens, and the raccoons said thank you very much they were very yummy!
I love to sew, embroider, knit and crochet. I'm hoping to put all my hobbies to work and open an etsy shop, though my sewing/laundry room needs to get sorted and organized first! We bought our house the end of June and the main parts of the house are coming together but my room is sadly neglected. Hoping to get it done this week, need to sew Julia some school dresses! She's the youngest girl in her class but is the tallest, finding dresses for her is impossible but that's all she wants to wear. I love vintage styles of clothing and collect vintage/antique patterns. I have some reproduction patterns that I am itching to start on, but first have to find my sewing machine!
Captain and I enjoy browsing antique stores together, playing video games together and doing things around the house. We love just going for a drive and never know where we'll end up. We also enjoy hiking, swimming, fishing and just being outdoors. Don't get the wrong idea though, we aren't really 'crunchy' or religious or modest or anything like that, we just do what we want to do and try to enjoy ourselves.
My blog is going to be mostly just about daily going ons, interesting things I find and see, my crafting projects, and of course my sewing. Not sure if anyone will ever read this, but hi if you are!
