More vintage pattern love
Yesterday a friend of our families came over with such a delightful surprise. She had emailed me to ask if I wanted some old patterns of her mother’s. Of course, I said! I ran into her at a shop a few days later and she told me, "don’t worry I won’t bring all the old …
An even better reason
(insert picture of sunny Waikiki beach with sun-bathers) Bj and I have just gotten back from Hawaii! It was the ultimate in a total relaxation vacation. We did as close to nothing as possible. I did mean to do a post before I left, but I’m the best at last minuet packing, which I did …
The reason I haven’t blogged:
Our internet was all over the map yesterday, but mostly off. Turns out we needed a new wire from the main wire/cable thing. I don’t really understand it but he monstrosity of a tree that is across the street was ruining our cable. Side note: this tree across the street is so insanity. It is …
It’s Snowing
Okay it’s not really snowing, but that is the theme for this month’s limited edition jar:I decided to make up 50 jars, instead of my normal run of 20, because I got so many complaints about how hard they were to get. I hope this makes things easier. I’m just about to release them right …
The Quilt as Art

Speed
The day after the day after Christmas Bj decided to be very pro-active about our returns (we so sucked when it came to getting each other gifts this year, but that’s another story), and went on a late night "get something better back" spree. This adventure took him to Borders, and unlike me who would …
Vintage Pattern Love
Thanks to the wonders of eBay and a nice little gifty from a blog reader (thanks Mrs. Beachwood!) this: Has been making my flickr account crazy with new photos. Only they are really scans of the vintage sewing patterns that have recently come into my life. I was enamored with the results of this one …
Because I have enough craft supplies for an army…
And because going to the Scrapbook Oasis with Nora was so inspiring (yummy products + awesome layout ideas) I had to pull out the paper and glue (and brads and flowers and pictures and well you know). I swear it’s not wonky in real life, but since I’ve sworn off trying to scan and merge …

The Californian Sunshine… did not come out
This last week Bj and I headed south to Cali to hang out at my dad’s winter place. I was hoping to get my sun on, but the planet had other ideas and it was a bit cloudy and rainy. Not that I minded much I spent most of my time doing this: Polo is …
