All the time to Bennet: “Ha! Good one Bennie!” Her: “What’s that sound?” Me: “It’s the music.” Her: “Oh that’s cool. It sounds like a kid screaming.” “Be quiet upstairs and downstairs because my baby is asleep below the sewing machine table.” To her African American friend: “Your hair is so …

The Perfect First Quilt
When Taro was here visiting with his family I thought it would be fun to take his wife to a meeting of modern quilters in our town to show her some American craftiness. She was a little nervous about sewing in front of people she didn’t know since she is a beginner. I wanted to …
Lately
-It’s 12:45 AM and Bennet has woken up 4 times already. To pee at first, but now it seems she caught Tuesday’s cold. Stuffed up noses + baby = not good. -That’s why I’m blogging from my phone while nursing. -See that excited girl up there? The sun plays a big role in that excitement, …

Resolutions
Ah resolutions. I don’t always make them, and I don’t always follow through when I do. But I’m feeling particularly enthusiastic about this coming year. By the end of the year I won’t have any kids in diapers and they’ll both be sleeping through the night (a girl can dream)… the world is my oyster! …
Year in Review
