Last I updated, I was on my way to L.A. for a sunny Thanksgiving. It rained a tiny bit but we still had more sun than if we’d stayed home. We came back and made the trek to Mt. Hood to pluck our tree out of the wilderness. It was a gorgeous day and …
Isn’t she cute?’ Mom is a French Angora and dad is 75% French and 25% Giant. I’m getting this little black one and I can’t wait to bring her home! We’re leaving today to go to L.A. for Thanksgiving so I have to wait to get my sweet little bunny until we get back home. [...]

I made all these cute bird and leaf pins for this month’s Little Black Box. Like all of my other etsy creations, they’re made of recycled wool sweaters and hand embroidered by me. They have 2 layers so they’re soft and squishy and just adorable, if I may say so myself. I loved holding a [...]

We had a great time at The Pumpkin Patch last weekend and partied with some parent friends. Square dancing, all-you-can-eat barbecued corn and toddlers in face paint. It was a really good time and after much deliberation, we even came home with some pumpkins. Back at home, the evidence that seseme is now a toddler [...]

We went to the Apple Celebration at the Portland Nursery last weekend and and tasted over 60 kinds of apples and pears! Luckily we got a paper to write notes on and we learned a lot about apples. We bought a bunch of apples too so next up- applesauce! Even sesame got into the harvest [...]
