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”

This week’s baby quilt
My life continues to be full of baby quilts. I haven’t been quilting much lately, but the baby quilt to do list has been stacking up. The latest one is pictured below. It is an enlarged block from Farm Girl Vintage book. I ended up tying it to finish it, but didn’t get a pictureContinue reading “This week’s baby quilt”
Half-square triangles are cool
I got my mega 1/2-square triangle back from the quilters. Mega because it took a long time. And was lots of love. And I am thrilled with the result. It makes me very happy every time I look at it. I love the colors – a jazzy rainbow. I love the shapes formed by theContinue reading “Half-square triangles are cool”
Hello there!
I do not have a coherent post today. I am often writing blog posts in my head – coherent, theme-based, elucidating posts. And then I find time to write and cannot find the good stuff. Today reflects the chaos of my mind right now – some miscellaneous thoughts… Happy 2017! As documented sporadically on thisContinue reading “Hello there!”
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”

They are pretty ok… This was made based on a pattern in wanderlustContinue reading “A Baby Quilt Update”
The joy of tiny pouches!
Several people at work have supported me as I have had some struggles this year – picking up the slack and providing laughs and hugs as needed. I made some ruffle bags based on this tutorial as thank yous. I did these all on one wonderful Sunday of pure joy. The focus of working onContinue reading “The joy of tiny pouches!”
Running out of ombre!
In moments of distraction, I often play the mental game of “what if you could only have…”. An example is “What if you could only ever eat food from one region?” I would pick Mexican. Or Italian. Luckily, not a real eventuality but it is entertaining to think about. Living in a country and classContinue reading “Running out of ombre!”
Another Baby Quilt
Things have been hard the last few weeks. Some of my favorite blogs let people into their world – are honest and share the struggle so we all feel a little more human, like we are in this thing together. I want to be able to do that – but it is hard. Hard toContinue reading “Another Baby Quilt”
