Evening

The kids went to bed early. We had grown up drinks, grown up food and a quiet evening.

Signs of Spring

Yesterday was warmer and a lot of snow melted. Maybe spring is a little closer now.

Men At Work

My son Will loves to make things with Legos. Here are some of his creations. He's very proud of them!

Tagged

I just got tagged by Andrea to show some pictures of my workspace. I've never been tagged for anything before, so I couldn't resist this chance! Here's where I do my sewing. This room doubles as our guest bedroom, which explains why it's so clean in the top picture.

I'm tagging Artycho, Angie, Marie, and Tanja, all fellow seamstresses. I look forward to seeing all your spaces if you get a chance to play.

Art Around the House

More Letterpress

Satsuma Press

Pistachio Press

Here are some more nice letterpress stationary shops on Etsy. I bought 2008 calendars from both Lynn and Rachael this year, and they are lovely. Both shops have blogs and websites too, so do check them out!

Satsuma Press is here, here, and here.

Thimble Summer

Don’t you love these simple illustrations in Elizabeth Enright’s book Thimble Summer? The story is just as charming as the pictures are. I’ve had this book since I was a kid, although I can’t remember where it came from. So, I was very excited to find these lovely letterpress items on Etsy. I really love all the things in papered together's shop!

For more beautiful black and white illustrations, visit Esti here.
And another nice blog, this time from Marie in Denmark, here.
