My husband, my hero

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 17 Mar 17

I don't do spiders. But if I have a useless super power, it would be being able to locate a spider in a room within moments of entering it. Once, I kept smelling something indescribable in my living room. I sniffed around until...

"Honey, the glue stick does not belong up your nose."

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 16 Mar 17

Today I added this to the list of things I never thought I would say at work. It is in good company with: "I'm sure she didn't mean to lick you." "Please keep your teeth to yourself." "What did you just pick up from the floor? Is...

Windy Days and Nights

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 9 Mar 17

I posted earlier about my indecision with keeping my old pots and greenhouse or buying a couple of new things and streamlining my process a bit. Well, March is certainly coming in like a lion this year! I woke up Monday to my...

Spring Balcony Gardening

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 26 Feb 17

Today, I decided to sit down and begin organizing my seeds for spring planting. The tree outside my window has buds and my mums "wintered" well in their pot, already pushing up new leaves. I don't have access to an actual lot for...

Little People

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 21 Feb 17

That's what I call my students. Even though they're anywhere from 3-5 years old, they are definitely people with distinct personalities. I'm sure the parents here could say the same, that their 3 year old has recognizable...

Lactose Intolerance strikes again!

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 12 Feb 17

When I was a child, I could eat pretty much anything I wanted. Yogurt, cheese, ice cream, milk, cream, no problem. All that changed in high school. I recall eating a yogurt in the cafeteria and becoming nauseous. That nausea...

Wildlife

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 5 Feb 17

Hubby and I went for a drive yesterday. We went out this weekend instead of next because we both despise crowds. We drove over a local dam that is know to be home to a pair of bald eagles. Imagine my surprise to look over and see...

So ugly, it's cute!

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 1 Feb 17

This fabric for this skirt yelled at me from across Jo-Ann's one day. It was loud and demanded my attention so I purchased a yard and a half. When I got it home and showed my husband, he looked at it and asked, "Really?" He...

Coffee or Tea?

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 1 Feb 17

Most mornings, and even as I sit typing this now, I enjoy a cup of coffee. It's become a personal ritual that I treasure and helps me focus before heading off to work. It marks the end of my solitary morning time. The scent of the...

Sewing up a Scout!

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 31 Jan 17

I have come to accept that I enjoy making and wearing garments with simple, clean lines. The Grainline Scout is a perfect pattern for that. This pattern's design is very straight foward and has plenty of room for "hacks" or...

Snow Days!

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 31 Jan 17

As an early childhood educator, I love snow days. Not because we don't have school but because for most of my students, it is their first memorable experience of snow. They usually come back full of tales of their adventures and...

Skirt to Tank

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 29 Jan 17

I learned to sew a few years ago by making my quirky thrift store finds fit my body better. Eventually, I started making clothes by using patterns. That doesn't mean I no longer hit the thrift store; it's actually the opposite! I...

Bullet journal for sewing

Mea @AranciataRoss (322) • United States 29 Jan 17

I recently got into the whole bullet journal thing. I'm really enjoying how much easier it is to keep track of what I'm working on. I have one for my personal life and a sort-of bujo for work. Now I'm starting one for my sewing as...
