About Lemonpuss
I am living the dream and staying home to raise my three kids while my wife and I try to renovate our 150 year old farmhouse and keep the grapevines from consuming the house. We are a free-range family, and I spend my days with the kids crafting, gardening, canning fruit, and keeping the peace. Some days I'm lucky enough to fit in a little knitting. (Now with more kindergarten!)Contact me:

Sleeping
I don’t want to forget that his hair is stuck in curls today thanks to a liberal application of condensed milk. Sweet in so many ways. My boy.
Hat
My great aunt Margaret knit this variegated blue and purple hat when she lived in a studio apartment in Miami Beach. We visited her when I was seven. She was OLD, and smelled odd, and it was awful, interminable, and … Continue reading
