pps- our topic of convo for the night was this article from the wall street journal.

i am not going to worry...about a thing.

i want those red boots and that coat.

kiss me, i'm irish

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

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!

i was given the irish name kelly after my great grandparents' last name.

i LOVE this picture and am so inspired to keep the needles moving. gib

there's a tiny restaurant

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.

i am excited about my new running shoes.

the best part of dinner was the irish soda bread- it was so so good, and it's really easy to make.

she'll be here friday and saturday april 3rd and 4th, and she'll be taking appointments for all day/ night both days at my house.

i am craving some sunshine.

and it's so yummy

simple is always prettiest to me.

they make me smile every day.

my homekeeping secrets

i am going to turn on some good music and choose to be happy.

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! is this ELLE

soft and long lacy scarf light enough for spring, extra long for winter wrapping, elegant enough for church, cute enough for a tshirt...i really love this scarf pattern (gee can you tell?).

(i hate in quilting and knitting and sewing when the designs get all fancy just because they can).

but then again, we looove roadtrips.

i love that she's an expert knitter and yet chooses to create very simple pieces;

she wears birkenstocks to fashion shows.

last minute trip to idaho to see my sister- so much better than home blogging!

and my wheels are turning with projects to put together for a locals knitting class.
