Blue and white

My husband and I took a quick trip to Lincoln, NE a week ago.  It was the penultimate weekend before Ken Burns’ quilts were leaving the International Quilt Study Center and Museum. I am so sorry we waited so long to go, because I am going to gush about this exhibition and now it isContinue reading “Blue and white”

the never-again scarf

I cannot visit pursoho.com without falling in love.  This is the third scarf I have purchased materials for from purl soho because I want to own it, not because I want to make it.  The other two are languishing on knitting needles. Because this scarf was sewn, not knitted, it got finished.  I made allContinue reading “the never-again scarf”

Designing

Today is the birthday of a friend who died a year and a half ago.  I have had people I love die, but I have never felt grief like this before.  The pain hits me less often, but when it does it is unrelenting – feeling the shock over and over again.  She just isn’tContinue reading “Designing”

style

I adore the Pretty by Hand blog.  Her colors, her patterns, her everything make me swoon.  Sweet little flowers and pink and lace. But when I try to stay sweet and pink, it feels false.  And modern solids and straight lines aren’t quite me either. Begrudgingly I admit my style is floral cacophony.  I shudderContinue reading “style”

pneumonia and baby quilts

A bit of a ditch on the road of life the last couple of weeks.  I was hospitalized with pneumonia and a tummy infection and crud and stuff.  Prior to spending a night in the hospital, my longest and worst night was an overnight train ride from the sticks of Romania to the capital.  PeeContinue reading “pneumonia and baby quilts”

Fall!

Doesn’t it seem like Fall flies by?  Definitely the best of the seasons and it always goes too quickly.  This year is no different.  We only have the kids every other weekend, so our fall weekends are precious.  When my stepson had an all-day debate tournament last weekend, we tried to get some fall funContinue reading “Fall!”

Obsession

I love purl soho too much.  The gorgeous projects, colors, materials beckon me to a life that is not mine.  Simple, pure, fresh, minimal color palette.  My life is full of complications and color and chaos.  And that is how I like it – for reals. But I can get lost in the purl sohoContinue reading “Obsession”

New storage

This was my fabric storage.  Lovely and folded.  It looked like this twice in the last year.  The open storage is perfect for a Type A.  When it comes to storage, I am so not type A. In addition to the general failings of open storage, this shelf needed to have that piece of woodContinue reading “New storage”

All The Greens!

My parents have had a hard year.  Those of you who I have shared the details with know that is quite an understatement. For Father’s Day this year, I wanted to make something that showed my dad how much I loved him.  So much of who I am creatively and intellectually I can trace backContinue reading “All The Greens!”

Readjusting Expectations

I have been travelling for work most of this week.  And it has been awesome.  But I miss my family and my sewing a lot.  In my last post I talked a pretty big game about getting lots of WIPs done.  I was going to conquer all and conquer it immediately.  Yes, not so much.Continue reading “Readjusting Expectations”
