Lucy’s Crafty Thoughts

The latest batch of fresh produce we brought into the house brought some unwanted house guests. Fruit flies. Driving. Me. Nuts! After some googling and a few prototype death traps, I’ve developed a super death trap for these annoying insects. A jar with some red wine vinegar; topped with a cone made out of white [...]

Little Man amazed me once again today. I’ve been saying to DH for the last couple weeks that I have no idea what LM means when he says “Dee Doo”. Well, this morning I figured it out. Its “Thank You”! He wanted me to get him his Jungle Book book and said “peas” (please). I [...]

OK. So shortly after moving to Seattle I got a $100 Simon Mall Giftcard from work. I forget why. I think I was on a team that got a kudos or something. Anyway, in Austin, there are lots of Simon malls to choose from. Not so much in Seattle. So it has sat un-used since [...]

I had so much fun at school today… I’m so tired… but I insisted on a snack… strawberries are my new favorite thing…”

Also, our joint Mother’s/Father’s day gift was [...]
