Fabric Friday: round robin
I thought I may as well continue my bird theme fabric. This is Michael Miller’s round robin in aqua. It is very cute, isn’t it. There are lots of robins around our house, and the children love to spot them and point them out to everybody. I would like to sew this into a pinafore […]

Monte has an android eeepad, which he uses for work […]

Family room – for the whole family

On one side of the family room, there are the children’s bedrooms, bathroom and study area, and on […]
