I pretty much spent this week indoors and avoiding "the outside." After Sean's health scare last week (he's completely back to normal, by the way) and all the terrible news online this week, "inside" felt much more comfortable--and safer. Living is exhausting, sometimes. I find this is especially true in summer, where there seems to be zero quiet … Continue reading New Projects and Progress (and Caught Red-handed)
So, summer, so far, is not going as planned. For one, I promised all four kids would be here at the end of the summer, and I already almost lost one! Okay. That's a bit dramatic. Sean's appendix ruptured last week. Apparently, those things just happen. Like, out of the blue, a part of you just … Continue reading It’s NOT a Bucket List! (And Baby Blanket Reveal)
The goal was to cut my bias tape to finish my patriotic "Little Morsels" table runner, but I didn't get to it yesterday. Instead, I got sucked into the black hole that is Shutterfly. Frustration is spending hours working on a photo book, then accidentally hitting "back" (easy to do on with a finger … Continue reading No Bias (tape)…Yet
Alright, not really a mailbox "surprise." More like a mailbox "something you signed up for a month ago and forgot about it." One of my favorite blogs, Posie Gets Cozy, posted about being featured in this new magazine, Making. So, I followed the website to the magazine, thought, "sure, why not" and subscribed. Well, the first … Continue reading New Knitting Project and a Mailbox Surprise
First of all, let's talk about this quilted table topper. Little Morsels. I only have one last thing to do before it's finished, and that's the binding. It is quilted and waiting. Whether it's waiting for that binding or waiting to be put out of it's misery--it can go either way. It's business in the … Continue reading Summer Plans, and How Not to Quilt
Brain: I know you're busy with the end of school, and you have project you're already working on, buuuut...spur of the moment idea, here...let's make a table runner! Me: Okay! Because, I don't have enough going on, I decided to start another table runner. (Yep. I still haven't finished the Autumn one, but I'm sure it'll … Continue reading Little Morsels Table Runner
Rich, decadent brownies that combine chocolate, caramel and "puppy chow," otherwise known as "Muddy Buddies."
So, it's almost summer break, here, which is why it might get a little quiet on this blog. Well, that, and I'm kind of a flake. But, let's blame last-month-of-school-craziness. To prove it, here's some of what I did over the last two weeks: Maggie got her high yellow belt in taekwondo, which, actually, has … Continue reading Three Weeks Until Summer Break!
After a deep breath and taking a step back, I decided I'm not ready for paid web hosting, monetizing, etc, etc. Like I mentioned in my last post, I had made a rash decision, which resulted in a mistake. Instead of charging through the next THREE years with this monkey on my back, I decided … Continue reading It’s Okay!
Full disclosure: the reason I suddenly kicked my blogging into high gear is I accidentally signed up for web hosting for three years. And, paid for it all at once. (I think I might have had a mini-heart attack when I realized my mistake.) You see, I thought I was signing up for a small, monthly payment … Continue reading Lack of Focus and a Really Big Mistake
