It was a good week.

What I loved about this week… So a lot of good stuff happened this week… A friend at work. I was filling in for a woman on maternity leave for the last 3 months, sitting close to the team she managed and helping them to the best of my ability while she was gone. SheContinue reading “It was a good week.”

Slowing Down…

Last year I finished a lot of projects.  This year I am trying to take my time, make things that are done well, even if it takes me a lot of time to finish.  That is a bit antithetical to how I am wired.  I want to get stuff done – written on the listContinue reading “Slowing Down…”

Wabbit!

A couple weeks ago my mom and I took a quilting class together.  Seems like such a normal sentence.  But for me it was nirvana.  My mom’s work situation has changed a bit so that she and my dad now have weekends free (after 10 years!).  So getting to spend time with someone I loveContinue reading “Wabbit!”

The Seven Chickens!

I have actually gotten better at cooking over the last 3 months. Truly. Focusing has helped me a lot. I cook almost solely from the Bonne Femme cookbook by Winnie Moranville. I read some great reviews about this book – and the reviews ended up being absolutely right. My favorite section (like many of theContinue reading “The Seven Chickens!”

Abandon!

I just can’t do it. I can’t work on blocks that take several hours each and then are totally the wrong size. Like an inch+ off.  I love the Moda Modern Blocks, but I am not good at making them. And they make me sad. Very sad.  And I am pretty sure my hobby forContinue reading “Abandon!”

Wee Needlebook…

I hard-core covet everything that Kristyne at Pretty By Hand makes.  But especially loved this needlebook.  I love the colors, the bits of lace, the bit of ruler.  This needlebook.  For reals so beautiful. The problem is I couldn’t figure out how to make one.  After a total failure of trying to figure it out myself,Continue reading “Wee Needlebook…”

So many pouches!

Yes, there are 5 noodlehead open wide pouches in that picture.  And I made 8 total in the last 3 weeks.  Let me explain… I made a pouch for my MIL last year that had a crossword puzzle pattern on the interior fabric.  She really loved it.  It was a kick to see how muchContinue reading “So many pouches!”

Rock On.

A little bit before Christmas, I took SD and her best friend to a rock concert.  This is them chilling in their chucks in between bands. It was beyond fantastic. My first concert was pretty epic- Michael Jackson Thriller world premier with my friend Alynda.  And that was just the tip of an awesome concertContinue reading “Rock On.”

Grown-up 241 Tote

Earlier this year I made a cute 241 tote that I ended up never carrying (pattern here). Really just a bit too cute for me to feel comfortable with it in public.  So last weekend I decided to bite the bullet and make a new one.  I love the style, but the last one wasContinue reading “Grown-up 241 Tote”
