here's an irish blessing from us to you...

   4. i don't worry about a little "creative clutter" in cate's room. i
   say, a good dress up/ barbie mess day better than watching tv all
   afternoon, right? pretty soon i will just put my 'kerchief on again and
   go to town. (yes, that is what cate's room looks like again, just over
   a month after the big clean. i tell you, i'm fighting a losing battle
   with that girl). does that answer your question, mary? i hope it helps!
   wink.

                               she's amazing.

                           it was super delicious.

   i found that amazing old shirt (we're big fans) at the thrift store for
                                                      $1 and it's so soft.

   i always enjoy knitting lacy stuff but this pattern was especially fun,
                          super easy, and portable.

         my happy plans for this evening include knitting and watching two
              favorite movies: far and away followed by tristan and isolde

                          with the sun streaming in

   when she does these weekends she fills up really fast so don't wait- if
   you need color and/or cut and/or face waxing at very reasonable prices
   email her promptly and she'll get you booked and give you directions.

                                                    ok, i'm off to knit...

       1. in the craft room i throw everything on the homework table. that
                           clears up the floor for more mess craft making.

                                                   in a tiny town in idaho

   i want those red boots and that coat.

   i am determined to get the house clean so i can relax and sew tomorrow.

                 i love the comments i get from all of you.

   it's definately worth the long drive,

            3. i think that packages stacked all over the house are a nice
     decorative touch (and they remind me how good people are to donate to
                                                 project 31) happy things!

                                             they make me smile every day.

            she never looks like a senator from krypton on the red carpet.

   i was chuckling while i cooked thinking about how my irish grandparents
   always had a plaque on their wall with this prayer on it: "may you be
   in heaven a half hour before the devil knows your dead" ha!
