Wordless Wednesday- Happy Anniversary!
Here are 9 pictures to represent all the years we’ve been married. Honestly, I have no idea where the time went.
Thoughtful Thursday- It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
Wordy Wednesday- Hobby Edition
“Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.” ― Napoleon Bonaparte
Vintage thread, my Grandma Shirley’s pincushion and handmade name pin, folding ruler we found in our house, buttons, lace scraps. Beautiful quilt art from a UP artist.
More buttons! Unknown antique Singer attachments, new mini sewing box!
“The only thing more dangerous then a vampire crazed with blood lust was a vampire crazed with anything else. All the meticulous single-mindedness that went into finding young women who slept with their bedroom window open got channeled into some other interest, with merciless and painstaking efficiency…”
― Terry Pratchett, The Truth
Movie Theater, Pool Hall/Detective Office, Barber Shop
“I love crafting. Knitting, decoupage, scrapbooking, any “lady-ish” art form, I’m a fan. For about six months each. Then I shove all the supplies in a closet, alongside the skeletons of long dead New Year’s resolutions, like saber fencing, playing the ukulele, and Japanese brush painting.”
― Felicia Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet

(Not so) Wordless Wednesday- Fairytale Edition
The Husband got the big Lego fairytale book and it’s the coolest thing ever. It’s got a surprise!
Jack and the Beanstock.
It folds up! With the story inside!
And you can switch out the story! Here’s Red Riding Hood.
Look out! That’s not Grandma!
After the rescue!
It fits in with our other fairytale decor this month.
The books are from the bottom left: Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, and Once Upon a More Enlightened Time. Both by James FinnGarner, and both satire, of course.
The larger books are Brian Froud’s Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book, and Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Letters. The Lady C books are ridiculous if you have a darker or weirder sense of humor. It’s watercolor pictures of what fairies would be if they were caught in a book and pressed like a flower. I giggle uproariously while reading them. 
Yes, we also have a mini Lego book. This one was one of the free sets and is specifically Hans Christian Anderson.
I’ve decided to embrace the whimsical side of life for a while. Plus, with the exception of just a couple of things, we had everything pictured. It was fun to get creative with decor. I hope this makes you smile a little today!

Thoughtful Thursday- Lego Exhibition, Part 2
Thoughtful Thursday- Lego Exhibition Edition
We went to the Lego exhibition over the weekend and it was spectacular! Who knew you could do that much with Legos? I’m totally stealing all my brother’s Legos for the Husband when we go to visit my parents. Here’s some of the great things that were there.
Fine Art:
This cool set of pictures that changed depending on where you were standing.
Rollercoasters!
The Ann Arbor library fairy doors:
And last, but not least, the great ball contraption. A Rube Goldberg machine set up all the way around the table to move balls around. Each section was built by a different person.
It was pretty cool and I have a ton more pictures, so I’m sure I’ll post more in the future. Who doesn’t like Legos after all?
