Step 2…
Yesterday I organized a teeny bit of my stash…. Today I broke the "nice" pens out (usually kept hidden away from 3 year olds), and started doodling….I'm making a baby quilt for my MIL to give as a gift… So I was easy but fun… I think triangles, with solids on the bottom, matchy prints […]
help!
I just finished my first block… oh, the fluffy background? yeah, that’s my helper: oh, what’s he sitting on? MY PATTERN! To read the directions, I need to lift like this: oddly enough, it makes him purr more! This is Killian, the cuddliest cat I’ve ever met!
Happy MLK day!
(note: this post has absolutely nothing to do with the holiday, I just figured I’d send happy vibes out…) In keeping with my new years resolutions, I made mac n cheese from scratch tonight… the bean loooooooved it, I quite liked it, D was horrified by it (and thus went to bed hungry) so not […]
Mamma Tortilla!
I got asked to guest post over at Mamma Tortilla,so I did a tute on how to make this dress… check it out!
I need to wash my ironing board cover.
oops.I’ve never noticed it before… time to bleach! anyway, these are the test blocks I made last night, while considering joining the Paint Box Quilt Along over at Oh Franson. As much as I LOVE the finished project, I need to stick to my guns and refrain from buying material to start a new project… […]
things I’m up to…
I’m working on an owl hat for D (although, if he refuses to wear it, it should fit me or C instead). and, today, I got a belated Xmas gift from my dad, called Project Life. SOOOOOOO COOL! I’m so excited!!!

Here’s the next one, a WIP, but it’s pretty cool so far… I used the blanket stitch on my machine to do the edges… and, in an effort to stick to my new years resolutions/get back to my roots, I made rice and beans tonight. YUM!
Can you guess what I’ve been up to?
What’s inside?(BTW, feel free to admire the embroidered tortilla cloth… I made it when I was 16, and am still absurdly proud of it)any ideas yet?oh, hey, what’s peeking out?BREAD? Homemade, fresh, easy, non-bread-machine BREAD? yup! My friend Jon mentioned, off-hand, that he had heard of a bread recipe that was really easy and baked […]
more WR!
I LOVE GIRL CLOTHES! sooooo much easier and faster than boy stuff! ok, so you saw this dress already, but, as much as it was clearly loved by it’s wearer… it needed MORE: I just roughly copied the design of snowflakes/asterisks and freehand embroidered them, a large and a small, in dark blue… Makes it […]
wardrobe refashioning
I just signed up for another 6 months… SO:I had this super comfy old long sleeved t-shirt from old navy that I really liked… but it got a weird brown stain on the back of my shoulder… (baby puke perhaps? who knows! who gets stains on the backs of their shoulders????) so I cut off […]
