This is the top of my piano these days. It looks as if I am creating an army.
Although, an army comprised largely of the limbless probably doesn't look too intimidating...

simple outfit today of a black thermal knit dress black tights and barely overknee (on me) lace up boots i liked these but historically they’ve never been that easy to get on or off and through the natural course of gravitating to other pairs more often these ended up sitting in their box for years but i wanted to wear them with this dress today and thankfully they were easily accessible and went on fairly easily but i could feel their material breaking down at my fingertips which is sad because these were generally good boots i have tied the laces since this photo but i haven’t laced up my hooks so they’ll be more comfortable at the backs of my knees while i’m seated. i’m not sure i’m ready to get rid of them yet despite the obvious damage.
Some of my earliest memories are of casual outings my mom used to plan for our family--cherished experiences that opened my eyes to the everyday beauty that surrounds us and the simple pleasures that bring me joy...moments I now love sharing with my own daughter.

Got started at 10 pm last night, tried to get going all day, but the kids were not buying it yesterday. So went with the Simple Skirt in a fun print! Love Aneela's line for both quilts and kids clothes! Great tutorial, www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-simple-skirt.html
OK, I am putting together a simple how-to for the Window Star fun! This is an even easier version than the one I found online. I made it simpler because I was using a kind of mulberry paper, and wanted the light to show through as much as possible.

It was a rough night for us...well...me i guess since i'm the one taking care of this little guy now. For some reason, all he wanted to do was pee in the wrong places. Every time I tried to make him stay in his bed, he'd just hop right out and look for something else to nibble on. He's whimpering even more now too.
I knew that taking this new responsibility would be a lot of work, time, and patience...but after last night, i realized that i'm really gonna need even more patience than I have now.
While these houses aren't ornate like the temples, they still have similar elegant details at the eaves.

Fort Washington Presbyterian Church, built 1913-14 to the designs of Thomas Hastings of the firm of Carrère & Hastings as a daughter church to West Park Presbyterian Church, is an imposing neo-Georgian building, notable for its broad simple massing and carefully-modulated refined detailing. Thomas Hastings was the surviving partner in one of the leading architectural firms in the United States, which had a nationally important reputation for its church designs.
Hastings had a personal affiliation with project, since he was the son of the distinguished clergyman, the Rev.Doctor Thomas S. Hastings, who had been pastor of West Presbyterian Church, one of the two churches that merged in 1911 to create West Park Presbyterian. Mindful of the colonial and Revolutionary history of the Fort Washington neighborhood, Hastings drew on eighteenth century models, particularly the churches of the English architect James Gibbs, to produce a richly embellished design that was uniquely his own. Basilican in plan, the church features a temple-fronted Doric entrance portico with four monumental stone columns and an unusually lofty, beautifully sculpted tower embellished with classical motifs. The building is clad with buff-colored brick laid in Flemish bond and trimmed with Indiana limestone given a “rubbed finish” to enhance the Georgian character of the design.
The church’s Georgian-inspired decoration includes keyed enframements for the three main entrances on Wadsworth Avenue, molded and bracketed window surrounds, pilasters which articulate the principle façade and sidewalls, stone balustrades, and multi-light windows. The tower’s height, together with the church’s siting near the crest of a hill, on a view corridor from Broadway, gives the tower a dominating presence on the skyline of Washington Heights while the church’s monumental facades contribute greatly to the architectural character of the neighborhood.
Fort Washington Presbyterian remained affiliated with West Park Presbyterian until 1923.
Fort Washington Presbyterian in turn was the mother church for Fort George Presbyterian on St. Nicholas Avenue at 186th Street, established in 1916. Fort Washington Presbyterian was served by a number of well-respected clergymen and prided itself on its “cosmopolitan membership drawn from every corner of the globe” and a notable history of community service.
In 1982 Fort Washington Presbyterian’s congregation ceded its church to the Primera Iglesia Española de Washington Heights, a Hispanic congregation established in Washington Heights in 1948, which had been a voice for the Puerto Rican community in New York and had been led by such distinguished pastors as Rev. Guillermo Cotto-Thorner and Rev. Idalisa Fernández. Following the Hispanic congregation’s acquisition of the building its name was changed to Iglesia Presbitereriana Fort Washington Heights (Fort Washington Heights Presbyterian Church) to acknowledge the dual histories of its congregations. It continues to function both as a church and a vital part of its community.
Fort Washington Presbyterian Church is located at the northeast corner of Wadsworth Avenue and West 174th Street on a square lot measuring 100 feet by 100 feet. The portion of the lot occupied by the Sunday School wing is not included in this designation. The metal picket fence surrounding the church is non-historic.
The neo-Georgian church is a two-story plus basement basilican-plan gable-roofed building with a monumental temple-fronted entrance and prominent steeple rising in five steps on Wadsworth Avenue. Constructed with a steel frame, concrete slabs, and brick bearing walls, the church is faced with tan brick laid in Flemish bond set off by Indiana limestone ornament, including elaborate keyed enframements for the three main entrances on Wadsworth Avenue, molded and bracketed window surrounds, and pilasters that articulate the principle facade and the side walls of the entrance vestibule. Both facades are capped by full Doric stone entablatures, which are enriched with mutules.
Stone balustrades extend above the Wadsworth Avenue façade and the western end of the West 174th Street façade. Much of the stone trim on the lower portions of the church has been painted with non-historic white paint to conceal graffiti. The church retains its large multi-light metal window sash and smaller multi-light wood sash but a number of the historic window lights have been lost. The stepped tower has brick walls, stone cornices, and is elaborately embellished with classical motifs. It retains much of its original detailing, however, cracks in the masonry due to weathering and lack of maintenance has caused damage to the tower’s underlying steel supports and stone veneer.
