It’s not the First Saturday, but it was rescheduled because the first fell on a holiday weekend. I was out sampling wines for the school’s wine tasting event until 2am last night and didn’t get to bed until 3. I set my alarm clock for 6am and was sewing by 6:30. Unfortunately, the fabric was [...]
Do you recognize this toy? We’re borrowing it from a friend and I’m trying to identify it.
That sound? Well, the first is the sound of stunning people into silence with TWO posts on ONE day! That second one, though, that definite THUNK? That’s Amy’s and Ashley’s jaws dropping as a result of this: I worked on this this afternoon and got it sewn up tonight, before midnight, even! Now the trick [...]
Ashley had a birthday a few weeks ago and Amy has a birthday tomorrow, so the mystery picture from last night was of their birthday presents! We went to breakfast and quilting this morning and they each got their quilter tool caddy and claim to love them.
I really should post more often than once a month. That daily posting thing I did at the beginning of the year was kind of nice. Maybe I’ll get around to doing that again. In the meantime, it’s the night before (technically morning of, but we’ll ignore that for now) First Saturday, so it must [...]
A better picture when my camera has batteries. Oh, and it’s not 2am. Staying up until 2am isn’t worth the $5 it would cost in a normal month for the fabric of the next month’s block, nor the $10 it’ll cost me if I lose this bet with Amy and Ashley. However, when pride is [...]
I just migrated my blog to my own site and backed up and imported old entries dating back 6 years. If I get inspired, I may even get the older ones. I still need to get pictures working properly, but I’m back on the bandwagon!
Just yesterday I had a thought to myself that despite it being the latter half of June, we hadn’t had any of those “woke up and it’s still hot and the day is just going to get hotter” kinda days that hallmark summers here in the Central Valley. Well, that’s what I get for opening [...]
It’s been one year since I walked with some trepidation into the Surgery Center. I will never be the same, physically or mentally, but that’s not all a bad thing. I still can’t walk normally without pain, I can’t climb stairs, I can’t run and chase my kids on the playground or down the street [...]
We are all home again at last. Kids are asleep, I’m headed that way shortly, as soon as the sun is really down. This weekend everyone’s going to be chugging water. I’m not spending a 3rd Sunday in a row in the ER for dehydration.
