busy
I have been super productive this week, or perhaps some projects that I have slowly incrementally been working on have come to a point where they are interesting to look at. I am super glad to announce: I finished mending the utility quilt! It has been on my Get it done list for three months. …
mending
This mending topic is really interesting to me. Because of the level of energy , fabric memories and meanings I put into the initial quilt, I have a great emotional attachment. Then, as I use the quilt, touch it and look at it on my bed, I have even more of a connection. So when the …
no, it’s not elmo
Yes, I am make a garment. Learning to sew garments better is part of my goal for 2013, but Paul pushed me forward by requesting a bathrobe for Halloween (and hopefully beyond since all of this cost me nearly forty dollars). So far, I had to run back to the fabric store because I picked up the …

fabric first
Paul and I went to the fabric store and we managed to get a pretty close match. I pin traced some sections so this weekend I hope to begin to put them together.

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 …
savers find
Here we go with my love hate with WordPress. I wrote this yesterday but the WordPress monster that sometimes for no reason, deletes everything when you post deleted this post. So one day late- Here’s what I got at Saver’s: A new plastic container, with many, many empty spools and bright embroidery floss. I figure about …
productive weekend
Well, I have been pretty incommunicado today. One phone is down and the internet went down for no reason. Yet, I had a really productive weekend. Here is my half-done rug. Simply denim strips sewn to a worn out rug. Then I fold the last strip and but the next one right against it to …
garden update
So the gardens are full swing. The one above is Eliott’s. He is doing a great job of keeping it neat and well watered. Here’s mine. Not quite so neat, and pretty dry. Here is our first little pumpkins, so cute!
