I know, it&#8217;s been pretty quiet around here. We have jumped on this stretch of dry weather we&#8217;ve been having, and have been working on our house like crazy. Among the projects has been painting the exterior. The lower level is almost done! The lower level is a daylight basement, and all the outer walls are concrete block. Much of the surface was very funky. It took days of power washing and scraping to prepare for re-covering.<\/p>\n<p>Since moving here, the basement has been mostly ignored. It will be a huge project down there, to bring it to a state that we feel will be comfortable and fully live-able. Inside, it is still empty, with bare floors. We have been slowly devising a plan, but in the mean time our efforts have mostly been focused on our current, immediate living space. It has been nice to put some attention down there. One thing at a time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ruche<\/strong> (shown above, with snaps!), will be getting a bit of a revision to make it even more functional. The Ruche has been a long time favorite, and there have been a few ways I have wanted to improve upon it. If you own a Ruche, and have any suggestions, please email me! I would love to hear about them. If you order a Ruche before the revision gets released, and would like snaps added, just make a note when you check out and I will add them for you, free of additional charge.<\/p>\n<p>And one more little tidbit (tidbit? what kind of word is tidbit?)&#8230; According to the Farmer&#8217;s Almanac, July is <strong>The Full Buck Moon<\/strong>. &#8220;<em>July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur<\/em>.&#8221; We found that pretty interesting, because we have definitely had a lot of energy building around here among the bucks. Last July they put on quite a show, butting heads and running around in circles with each other in the yard. I often wish that I could be a deer for a day and see what they are thinking and how they are perceiving. What kind of animal would you be for a day, if you could?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friends! I know, it&#8217;s been pretty quiet around here.
