The Burrow: Eggs in a Nest Part 2: Call it like it is.

Building Home, one project at a time. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Eggs in a Nest Part 2: Call it like it is. Don't hate me.I think the English language is awesome. That's right, I said it. Other countries have committees to keep words out of their lexicon. We add words like, "D'oh" to our dictionaries. We have duplicate, triplicate, even quadruplicate words for things, including animals and food. We retain that separation of language today, and with it a weird tendancy to want to separate the food on our p...

The Burrow: Eggs in a Nest
http://burrowonthehill.blogspot.com/2011/07/eggs-in-nest.html
Building Home, one project at a time. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Eggs in a Nest. Good news for all of the procrastinators out there.it turns out putting off certain home projects has a major payoff. When you look at a house, it is easy to say, "If I lived there, the first thing I would do is.(fill in the blank)." Our first thoughts? Rip out the ugly, farmhouse fence. Get rid of the 12 foot gate separating the driveway from the yard. Tear out the Ent. July 12, 2011 at 6:17 PM. You started a blog! Mustard See...

Building Home, one project at a time. Monday, July 25, 2011. Sorry, Thoreau, I too busy. Ugh, my summer is so full already." I complain, sitting at mom's table. It is the beginning of July, and I'm researching methods for teaching vocabulary for a summer committee I am on. How can it be full already? It hasn't happened yet! I know what she's getting at but, "It doesn't matter. It is. I have, like, 20 days out of the whole summer that I'm going to be home. And those days are already full.". I huff. Th...

plant. eat. create.: How To: Make a Headboard
http://www.planteatcreate.com/2011/10/how-to-make-headboard.html
October 15, 2011. How To: Make a Headboard. See it. Want it. Make it. This is something that we at PEC we are quite fond of. A few years back, Kristin made her own headboard and did an amazing job (home tour here. She is mighty inspiring when it comes to taking on big projects so when I mentioned I wanted to make my own headboard, she squealed (I think - she may have just said "cool! 60"x24"x2" (I purchased mine at Joann Fabrics). 2 yards of Fabric. We don't need a cart! As Kristin flexes her muscles.

The Burrow: Treasure Chest
http://burrowonthehill.blogspot.com/2011/07/treasure-chest.html
Building Home, one project at a time. Friday, July 8, 2011. After our Renegade Women Day (we changed the name for political reasons), Jan and I stopped by the cottage to pick up a trunk that I left behind when we moved out. The cottage is about the size of the t.v. we moved yesterday - big for a television, small for a house. It is also lived in by a Davis, so it wasn't. Creepy that we just showed up and raided the basement. I also found a few of my beloved children's books: Captain Kitty. Eggs in a Nest.

Building Home, one project at a time. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Welcome to the Hannibal Lecter Basement. You know when you change the focus on a camera? It all started the day we got the house inspected. That day, I screamed out loud twice. Was I alone in the dark, cobweb filled basement? You believed in that sort of thing. And it has to stop. I mean, I have a kid now. I can't just say, "Evan, you can walk now. It is your responsibility to do the laundry because mommy is too scared to go in th...Eggs in a...

The Burrow: August 2010
http://burrowonthehill.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Building Home, one project at a time. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. A day late, and a baby short. We were expecting Evan Graham yesterday, although, truth-be-told, he is taking after my side of the family and seems to be planning to arrive on Bouffard time. Which means, just as soon as he can get to it. (Just what is taking you so long, anyway? But the end of the treatment is coming this week, as well as the baby (did you hear that, baby? What will he be like? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). History of the Burrow.
