Usually I have no excuse for forgetting to blog for a few days, but right now I do. In the Bj-just-can’t-get-a-break category he is away attending a funeral… times two. His maternal grandpa has been fighting throat cancer (note: if you smoke look this up, maybe you will finally quit—it’s terrible!) and lost the battle …

I’ll take you up on that!
My friend Tracy was lucky enough to stay in a beach cottage all this last week and had a few extra rooms. She wondered if our little family would like them to keep her and her little cutie company while her husband had to return to work. Needless to say we jumped at that! Bj …
Where did the week go?
I’m not sure. But hopefully my weekend will be filled with lots of: (I’ve managed to cobble together a decent set of “light” scraps for the quilt a long) Of the brights I still have way to many. Of course I should be working on this long neglected project: But my new yarn: And some …
The dreaded before pictures
When ever I take on a new project I tend to get a vision pretty quickly of what I want. Which means pretty quickly I get sick of looking at the “before”. Bj and I have had plans drawn up to tackle the last remaining bit of cottage work, and it’s a big part—the yard. …
Scraping with Sarah
And once again I only have pictures of the aftermath, Sarah, how does that always happen to us? Sarah and I had a day planned out to scrapbook on Saturday, just the two of us, and it was so much fun. It turns out when I pull the chair out of the craft room you …
Be a Joiner
Yesterday Sciarrino and I drove up to the first meeting of the Portland chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild. I didn’t really know what to expect, having never been in a guild of any kind before. I was hoping that I would meet some like minded fabric lovers, and guess what I did! We did …
Teaselwick Wools
I could also title this post My Friend and Next Door Neighbor Opened a YARN SHOP and I am The Luckiest Girl in The World, but I'm never really sure what letters to capitalize with a long title like that. So yes, my neighbor Tracy (who is also my friend but I have another friend …
Goodbye Tree – Hello Giveaway
GOOD JOB EMILY – YOU GOT IT ON THE NOSE. THE TREE WAS 97 YEARS OLD. Remember when I said our power was out? This is why: Dwarfs their house a bit huh? This is my neighbor's tree AFTER a whole day of trimming, and it actually looks pretty good here. This giant …
For the girl with the most energy
Tuesday seems to have the most energy of anyone in this household. Thank you for all your well wishes, Bj seems to be on the mend, but still has to get checked up on (again). He is mighty sore, as you can imagine, so, sadly, the little bits of sun we had did not result …
Incidentally
Oh man, Bj is the worst at telling me when something goes wrong. THE WORST. I love him but, well take a look at a conversation that we had earlier today: phone call from Bj a half hour before he is supposed to catch a flight home (he flies to Seattle to go to meetings …
