Great Sock creature book
New library find. This book on sock creatures has fabulous pictures and Daniel’s creatures have lots of personality. I highly recommend it. It also has projects, but the photos are excellent. I would love to tease you with a couple samplings, but I don’t think it’s allowed. It’s library call number (DD) is 745.59221. I [...]
Boys night out
The boys were treated to a New Belgium beer dinner at Grandma’s favorite restaurant, the Summit. Yummy. However, boys will be boys. They might not be invited back.

Sibs at the laundromat
Bad mother! Last week I neglected the Sibs, so to atone, we went all out. Trip to the laundromat. It was like a circus! I think they enjoyed it, even the tumbles in the dryers. It wasn’t until it was too late I saw the sign that children are not allowed to play in the [...]
Sibs Thanksgiving
A quiet, peaceful meal with the family. Boring. so I spiced up the sib’s pictures by playing in a photo program. Click over to Sibs Sunday to see more. Wishing everyone had a fulfilling (I crack myself up) Thanksgiving weekend.

Monday morning, October 27th, 2008, the entire brood will be loaded into the van and making mayhem across the midlands. Photographic evidence will be posted. For humans not interested in these [...]

Mia and Rygel (formerly known as No-name) delighted in an evening of Bacchanalia. Hosted by Maggiano’s Little Italy and the gracious Antinori Winery, the siblings joined the family in the joyous pairing of excellent food and wine.

Last minute helpers
In 14 days,we leave for Houston’s IQF. Without a mouth, No-name speaks volumes. Apparently he believes we need a final push of product. He is being very sweet and helpful. Mia is trying. But she is easily distracted. Although I wanted to carve pumpkins with them today, I was reminded of the ‘incident’ with the [...]
Unsocialized Siblings
Warning: Do not leave unsocialized sibling alone. Recent photos of Mia and No-name playing plastic surgery have come to our attention. We kindly ask for respect while we work through therapy with our recent additions to our family. It is our sincere desire, upon the return of their sisters, brothers and cousins, that they will [...]
Show me the love
Mixed Media Monday’s theme for this week is Things-That-We-Love to do: I love Sock Creatures. Love to make them, pose them, learn their stories and see what other people around the world have discovered with socks. They are so silly, they make me smile. Each one develops a distinct personality. And they are the best [...]
Farmers’ market
Mia and no-name went to the farmers’ market to scope out pumpkins. I explained about Jack-o-lanterns and they were excited by the idea. Halloween is around the corner. Click on the photo to see a few more pictures of their outing.
Meet the newest Sibling
We had a lovely play date, Mia, Terry and I, at our favorite local fabric store, Great American Quilt Factory. Cruising the store before the playing upstairs began, I noticed this cute little creature. He was sly, following us around, but Mia pointed out he was lonely, and suggested he join us. Click on the [...]

Meet Mia: She rode a Greyhound bus from Hollywood, CA and made it as far as Denver, CO. She was found passed out in a Union Station bathroom after having black market restilyn injections. Mia has self esteem issues. But knowing I was dealing with empty nest syndrome, a social worker contacted me and I [...]
With one Voice
My Sunday’s post should have conveyed my empty-nest feelings with the whole group of sibling sock creatures traveling to the far off wonders of Michigan. This giddiness and fright has been made possible through the talented and generous Fibra Artysta, who will be known hence as Auntie Lynn by the Siblings. Lynn is curating the [...]
