My neighbor and I took our little ones to the tulip festival today. I had to go after seeing the wonderful pictures on Alicia’s blog. I told my mom I was going and she said, “the last time you went you came back with a stick!” I was like, “what?” Yes, she’s right though. The …

What all that binding was for
I am lucky to have a little god-daughter who has given us many of her old things, including this wrap jumper: That is special to me because V wore it the day we went wedding dress shopping. After pulling it out for Tuesday I realized that it really is quite simply constructed. So I decided …
Continuous Bias Binding
So yesterday with all that math and craziness. I hope you saw that I updated the post to say that I did not come up with those numbers, but copied it directly out of the book, you can see how I got so confused! I did find a couple of good site for making continuous …
Questions
Okay some questions for you my dear readers. 1). Should I change my blog header. I haven’t changed it for five years. Partly because I’m lazy 🙂 (I was going to put a poll here, how the heck do you do that?) 2). Should I change my avatar, across the board (flickr, typepad, etc.)? Currently: …

Yuck, I got a cold! Boo hoo hoo especially because our dear friends are here form Alaska with their little cutie pie who is four months younger than Tuesday and I want to hang out! But in the interest of not sending them back up north sneezing and blowing their nose (and cursing my existence) …

I always wait until the last minute, but I still have over a week to spare. That’s progress people. More time to create. Strips of …
Quiet
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 …
