ufo on track
So, I have five more parts and this is done. Right now I am out of thread, but I plan to go to Joanne’s tonight to remedy that. Then I have two more squares left with the red edge, then three more seams and then three more finishing sections and I am done! Yay!
August ufo part 2
Yes, I did, not one but two ufos in August. And I completed them both! This rug I am really excited about because it came out so thick and wonderful. The denim strips are very tightly packed and it makes an excellent bath mat. I wish I had thought a little more about color when …
clean studio
We’re having a few friends over and so I cleaned my studio. unfortunately, my studio is not an out-of-the-way space that I can just close the door to in the summer, in order to get to the back yard from the house you have to get through it. Since I never do anything in an efficient …
this is why my sisters are awesome
Yes, I was totally surprised when my sisters gave me these boots Memorial weekend. I have wanted a pair of these awesome rubber boots for several years. And look at these: brown with a pattern of wild pink and purple horses running on them. Theme song break: Yes, that is my boots’ theme song! They …
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 …
birdhouses
So remember when I was sick and went to the fabric store with my husband? We bought these birdhouses that day. They were one dollar each. As a family project, we painted them. It was a great project, although we only had 75 per cent participation. (Sorry about the photo, my camera is out of …
mushroom bonus
Remember last year when my mom gave me the mushroom log? Well, after it was spent I threw it out into the garden because the instructions said it was really good compost. However, being a somewhat lazy gardener, I didn’t really break it up or anything. Imagine my surprise when we came up to the …
finished apron skirt
Yes! I made this yesterday. I was particullarly proud because I have been very sick all week with a head cold. But yesterday, I just barely well enough to make this. Patti had given me a gift card to the fabric store for Christmas this year and this was one of the fabrics I bought. …
traveling man
So, here he is- on his way. Our first Christmas without our boy. I guess what my friend says is true: he’s now a young man. He’s going to see his California family. The excitement he had getting on the bus was only matched by his grandma’s excitement when we called to let her know …
Halloween costume
So, of course, I wanted to wear my same costume as last year, but I still wanted to amp it up a little. So I made this belt yesterday. I call it my princess gypsy dream fortune teller’s utility belt. I wanted to add flowers hanging down in order to be a float. Maybe next year. …
