*quilt*

January 29, 2009
Oh this beast turned out so simply and complicatedly adorable. I love it. Yes, it has some funk and whoopsees! But, for the most part, it is just grand. And warm. And I feel like the build up to this project completion and post should satisfy my blog quota for at least three months. We have been sleeping with it even though it wasn’t done for a few weeks. The binding sewing was eye-bleedingly tedious but, I have to admit, … Continue reading *quilt* →

happy new year y’all

January 01, 2009
On this first day of 2009, I am full of hope. A new president, a new one-year-old, new baseboard, new appreciation for all the small stuff that makes up my life. Including this here blog. I usually write under the assumption that nobody is reading and I rarely speak to readers when I blog because what if there aren’t any I am am just all throwing all these questions and thoughts out there and nobody responds? Then I’d feel super … Continue reading happy new year y’all →
