I, Michaele, Saw Red: Day One

On a slow yet not entirely slouchy Sunday, I took time to appreciate the red pillows on my couch and loveseat. Why? This year in the Bordertown, they've not only brightened the brown, but they've supported my arm while crocheting baby blanket after baby blanket, and provided a comfortable resting spot for my family's heads for afternoon naps, story time, or movie night. Family together time, gifts to welcome new life, a shot of color in an otherwise mostly sand and cacti infused location... thank you, dear pillows:



I'll be posting red photos all week, inspired by this lovely blog post...

Another "read," this time, BLOGS!

*Lisa helped me realize all of the work that goes into making a quilt- and made the process seem much less migraine-inducing than I'd imagined it... who knows, I might actually work up the gumption to start cutting my newly acquired fabric into strips!

*Mamacita at Scheiss Weekly had me laughing and nodding with her post addressing beauty, The Emperor is Naked.

*The Pioneer Woman Cooks the nummiest looking chicken salad...

*Doug shares the Love of Classroom Teaching by Margaret Edson.

*Check out ManBabies.com for some silly photos of dads and their kids, just in time for Father's Day! Thanks to Goodyblog for the link!

Happy June!
