more birthday presents….

I used some of the birthday present fabric I got this morning to make presents for the kidlets…. I love the pockets I made. they’re angled, not curved, sorta like part of an octagon… (there’re street signs on the pants) I used a recycled t-shirt for a yoga-pants waist band… not sure if the shirt […]

Happy Birthday to ME!

I made myself a birthday dress last night/this morning, but it’s TOO COLD to wear it. so I’m back in jeans and a long sleeved shirt….

FWQAL

Butterfly at the Crossroads Spider Legs, Snowball I’m LOVING this QAL. using up scraps from various projects…..

Hand quilting at the park…

I need to finish the hand quilting (hopefully by the end of the week) and then I’ll do a big reveal. it’s maybe my favorite quilt EVER. esp. since last week we were having a massive heat wave, so I’d pack up the kids and the quilt, and we’d spend the whole afternoon at the […]

and another one….

I found some red seersucker in the garage today, and was looking for something to go with it, and realized that the 4th of July is this weekend… we don’t have any real plans, other than to climb the hill in the backyard to watch the fireworks in the port (and maybe the ones off […]
