<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome! Boy, it has been a long time. Because it's been so long, I think I'm basically starting over with this blog. So, I thought I'd reintroduce myself. I'm Angie, and we live in south-central Wisconsin. We have one child, a 6 year old daughter. We began our homeschool journey last fall for Kindergarten. A huge change in our life, but very positive for our family. Because homeschooling is such a big part of our life, this blog will now focus more on this part of our life. I will continue to blog about crafting, cooking, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been debating on whether to start blogging again. I'm so over so many sponsored blog posts, blogggers/IGers not being upfront about sponsored items, and bloggers that do not feel authentic. Most of my favorite blogs have fizzled out. So, maybe I'm not the only one looking for something new. Something more real. Also, homeschooling can feel isolating sometimes, and I would love to make some more connections. To share what I've learned & learn new things from my blog readers. I think blogging again is a great place to start.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here I am again and I'm excited to share my journey. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this beautiful vintage book about indoor plants at the thrift store today. It's from the 1970's. In this case, you can judge a book by its cover! The illustrations are amazing. I'm almost tempted to frame</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">some of these pages. I think I may do a little plant shopping this weekend...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are a plant lover, I have recently added more macrame plant hangers <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BricABracHandmade?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav" target="_blank">to my shop</a>. I've designed a new hanger for smaller plants/pots.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a great weekend! </span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-28338584313004741612014-02-20T20:16:00.000-06:002014-02-20T20:16:00.021-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh February, you have been quite the month! I'm looking forward to March and hopefully an end to this crazy winter. Valentine's Day was nice- my daughter gave me a card this year. It's so adorable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been sewing a lot lately, mostly softies which I'll be adding to my handmade shop soon. I'm in the process of making some changes with that shop, adding more items for children. I'm excited about this new direction. It feels like a good time to change things up!</span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-72751969247048290472014-01-15T20:57:00.000-06:002014-01-15T20:57:33.889-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cold and snowy weather always puts me in the mood to crochet. I've crocheted five projects so far this winter, that shows you what kind of winter we're having! I'm so ready for spring...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this slouchy beret, especially on my little one. I bought the e-pattern on Etsy from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/80576096/instant-download-crochet-pattern-hat?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Pixiebell</a>. It's a very easy pattern and it only takes me about four hours to complete a hat. It's so satisfying to complete quick little projects like this</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, back to crocheting!</span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-3029081985037399852014-01-01T19:43:00.000-06:002014-01-01T19:43:24.591-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello 2014! A new year and a fresh start for this blog. I've decided that my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2013/12/one-little-word-2014.html#more-36533" target="_blank">one little word for the year is</a> "complete." Last year I struggled with following through with things- and sometimes even being afraid to start. If I make a goal now, I want to complete it. No more excuses, I mean what am I waiting for? This will be the year of action. Of doing. Being in the moment and becoming a better person through that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also love that the word "complete" also means that I have everything already. I am whole. Sometimes I tend to forget that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's to a wonderful year!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our garden growing wonderfully. We are enjoying our spinach, lettuce, and radishes right now. It's funny how my little one only likes "outside spinach" or lettuce as she calls it. She'll eat it if it's freshly picked. I can't wait for our cucumbers, onions, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, peppers, snow peas, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots - I think I got them all down! We have quite the crop of strawberries, which are just starting to turn pink. I may even try to make strawberry jam this year.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mmm...</span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-83793369627942315962013-06-07T12:32:00.001-05:002013-06-07T12:32:51.136-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inspired by <a href="http://natalienoack.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Natalie</a> and a few other bloggers, the beginning of each month I'll share a few of my goals for that month. I usually make a long to-do list for myself, but for here I'll just share a few simple goals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> For June, I'd love to...</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">take Sara to a beach or outdoor pool, something she has yet to experience</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">attend an outdoor craft show</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">finish remodeling my old dollhouse- soon to be Sara's dollhouse</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really want to enjoy this month. Take it easy. Really enjoy the outdoors and just have a lot of fun. I think it's going to be a great month! </span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-79431301415427482982013-06-06T14:37:00.000-05:002013-06-06T14:37:53.507-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is is already June? I didn't think I would be away as long as I was. May was a busy month. There was a lot of gardening, playing outside, time making macrame, enjoying new bikes, and spring cleaning. But, most important was that my daughter turned four years old! Time truly does just fly by. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the time away from here was good for me. I feel more motivated to blog now- I kind of missed this. Thank you for sticking with me :) </span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-6128184416650264642013-05-02T22:30:00.000-05:002013-05-02T22:30:02.406-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we've been spending as much time outside as possible. There's been a lot of trips to the garden store, our first picnic, and visits to the park. Carrots, lettuce, radishes, snow peas, onions, and spinach have been planted in our garden. Oh, and herbs. We're off to a pretty good start. Now we are working on our landscaping and lawn. So much to do, May is going to be a very busy month!</span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-75270572588664241952013-04-22T20:04:00.000-05:002013-04-22T20:04:49.003-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week was a tough week. Both with things at home and events happening in our country. A new week with a fresh start is what I need. We're finally going to have warmer weather later this week. A big hooray! There will be a lot of time spent at the park and in our garden. This year we are far behind in our planting. It will feel great to at last get it started. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have finished two macrame plant hangers that I will be listing in my shop this week. I created a new design, a medium length hanger. I think it's just the right size.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week at the thrift store, I purchased my first pair of thrifted shoes.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not really a big shoe person, so I rarely look at that section. But, I'm happy I looked and found these. And for only $3.</span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-32982616660081477152013-04-09T14:22:00.002-05:002013-04-09T14:22:54.386-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had perfect spring weather on Sunday, it was wonderful! I did some yard work and cleaned the garage. I put a large empty box in the yard for my little one and she had fun pretending it was her boat. Boxes can be so entertaining!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's going to rain the entire week and I have a little one with spring fever who's stuck inside. I'm trying my best to find fun things for us to do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you are having a great day! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though there is still snow on the ground, it really feels like spring. We spent part of our morning in our backyard. Sara had a blast digging in the dirt in our garden. We all can't wait for it to get warm enough to plant our garden. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She's napping right now, thank goodness. There were three days this week she did not nap. Boy, I really rely on her nap time to get things done. Tomorrow we're dying eggs (using the <a href="http://bricabrac-blog.blogspot.com/2012/04/our-day-started-off-not-so-great.html" target="_blank">Kool-Aid way again</a>) and maybe going to an Easter egg hunt.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, another doll for Thrift Thursday. Before we went into the thrift store, I told my daughter "no toys today." Then I end up finding one of the dolls on my vintage doll wishlist. Of course I had to buy it. This is Fisher Price's "My Friend Jenny", from the late 70's to early 80's. I still have my childhood <a href="http://bricabrac-blog.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-was-so-happy-when-i-found-this.html" target="_blank">"My Friend Mandy" doll</a>, which I gave to my daughter. She loves having a friend for her. I'm still on the hunt for a "My Friend Becky" doll. </span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-36760718467390877802013-03-20T22:02:00.000-05:002013-03-20T22:02:33.362-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this pattern. It's so quick and easy. I think this will be my go-to pattern for tops this spring. I've done a bit of shopping for my little one for spring clothes, and I don't really like what I've seen so far. Too much neon, rhinestones and glitter for me. I take something in grey please! Hmm, I think I may have to go back to the fabric store to find a pattern like this in my size...</span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055406832354073953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793058262857767851.post-36877867161407438172013-03-08T12:57:00.003-06:002013-03-08T12:57:55.545-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
