This week, our dear Maggie ended her broody period and began laying her first eggs for us. We are up to 5 a day- one each from Maggie, Henrietta, Junie, Bauky, and Sweetie. We've been celebrating their generosity in the kitchen. Last night I whipped up our favorite custard, but added an extra egg to the recipe. It was gone instantly (thanks to my son's bottomless stomach!). I'm doubling the recipe today.

Comments! After years of feeling disappointed with blogger's options for responding to comments, I discovered that they've remedied that issue! Now, I can't promise that I'll answer each comment... but I'm thrilled I have the ability to- and I DID in the last post!

Yesterday, I dropped by Ithacamade and was blessed with perfect synchronicity- the sweet family that won the contest/raffle over the weekend arrived to pick it up. They were exuberant, and it was a total treat to see who the bucket was going home with.

The reinvention tour continued yesterday over at a design blog I've loved for years- poppytalk! Thanks so much Jan!
Today you will visit with one of my favorite people- a true and dear real life friend! Kathrin, of annekate, embraces slow design with beauty, skill, and sensitivity. Go take a look at how she brought hand stitching to her reinvention project and read her views on how reinvention can be interpreted without a sewing machine!
Follow along for giveaways, free projects, contests, and fresh insights on the making of:
