July 2016 highlights

We bought a house at the end of April. A little ranch on top of a hill with plenty of space to garden and play. After working on the house for a few months, we were finally ready to move in July!

We loved having the wall of books at our old place and we decided we wanted one at the new house too. So Zach got to work, and for less than $200, he built this really neat shelf.

Earlier in June, Zach and I started our first in-ground garden. All our previous gardening experiences were limited to container gardening. It was a special treat to be able to put plants in the dirt! June is a little late to be starting a vegetable garden, but we did what we could ...

We grew, as usual, a variety of peppers and tomatoes. And since we had all this space to garden, we also grew shelling beans, okra, and squashes!

The book, Linocut for Artists and Designers, by Nick Morley (Linocut Boy) is published! Zach's works on clay and paper are featured. Here's a sneak peek, but if you'd like to buy a copy, go here.
