may ufo
So, here it is! A finished ufo! I present to you: “Here comes the Son Country Fried Chicken”. Mmmm, not sure about the name yet…
The Rest is Noise – book review
I have to be away for a few days, so I am having my husband guest blog. For those of you who don’t know him, he is a visual artist and musician. If you would like to see his work, his web site is Buns on Mars. In the last year or two, he has …
how our garden grows
We are all gardening this year, except maybe Paul. This is Eliott’s plot above and there are two tiny pumpkin seedlings already coming through. This is Steve’s garden. I laid down the messy rhubarb leaves, but you can see Steve’s hand with the neatness. Because I was a little burned out from last year, I didn’t get my …

This has been an unusual weekend to say the least. Eliott found this bird on the parkway, and carried it all the way home on a stick. After Steve and I calmed down at the thought of it flying all around our house, he brought it on the porch. It was very docile, just sort of sitting …
ducky quilt update
So, Saturday I decided to work on the ducky quilt. I haven’t worked on it really since it was the ufo for the month. I wanted to begin on the background. I began by sorting through my ender leaders, then went on to pulling fabric out of my scraps. I had the idea of creating a …
