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: …

For Donovan
Did you see that Ceara had her baby? A sweet little boy named Donovan that I can't wait to meet in a little over a month. Ceara said she didn't know if she was going to get a carrier, of course I decided that meant I needed to make her one. I found the Sew …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Easy is good, hard is… hard
I have been attempting some garment sewing. I feel I must show it to you, lest you think I am so fantastic with much besides a straight line. I severely overestimated the size of my daughter, and underestimated the size of the pattern (it’s vintage – who has time to figure those things out?). The …
Baby Shower in a Box
The happiest of happy mail probably. One of my oldest and dearest friends lives in Vermont. She is almost 8 months pregnant and too far away for my taste. We did always say we were going to live next to each other when we had kids, oh how things change. Good thing cell phones and …
Design Wall – mini
I have been sewing and generally playing with fabric downstairs. It's great fun until Tuesday decides to mix up my design to suit her tastes! I took an extra piece of foam core board and some flannel I had and whipped up this: Tuesday squeals and runs over to it when she gets downstairs. …
