We’re all on the mend now. Ruby’s tooth is half-way through the gum. Her teeth are ridiculously slow. John and I are back to normal. We had a restful weekend. John planned to go mountain biking on father’s day, but decided to just take it easy at home instead since he wasn’t feeling 100% yet. [...]

Recently one of my friends posted a handmade challenge on Facebook. The first 5 people who responded to her got an item handmade by her within the year. The rule was, if you signed up, you had to return the favor and make 5 items to give away as well.
I made this apron for one [...]
