A little side note: This was my first attempt at sewing a pair of baby bloomers from a Japanese Makie pattern book a few years back. If you are interested in sewing your own, I purchased my copy here.
My husband accepted a job in Novato last month, which is only a forty five minute drive or so from where we live, but with traffic, double the time. So let the house hunting begin! Please wish us luck as we look for a cozy place to call home in Petaluma (fifteen minutes from Novato) tomorrow.

Here is a sneak peek, but keep checking back! There will be more and more “stuff” to add as I am packing up.
