But I have a fridge now. When the house broke it didn’t break the fridge, but the thing was old and running constantly and constantly driving our electricity usage up. Matt and I debated for a few days while the old fridge was unplugged whether it was worth sending it in for a tune up [...]

Ooh I’m bad. I went to Craft Warehouse to buy a tool, I was at Wally World to buy poly-fil. Either place I could have bought the paint I need to finish the table– for some reason I had a little too much focus on the eyelet punch and poly-fil (usually my problem is buying [...]

Any post that starts out with a cute little kid is a good blog post right? You know I aim to please, so here’s Lexi modelling her duly adapted jeans. Note the linen ruffles at the bottom of the legs– that fabric has been here before. Is she not the most adorable thing? The t-shirt [...]

Actually I’m in the mood for fruit and flowers. Thank goodness that a cake doesn’t have to be pretty in order to taste good, because yesterdays’ upside down cake was one of the most hideous looking cakes I’ve ever made– but it was definitely a big hit. This pin cushion top turned out to be [...]

I managed to give myself a friction burn right in the middle of my right hand ring finger when I was turning yesterday, which has got to qualify as one of the worst places to get a nice swollen blister. Luckily I’m left handed so it doesn’t impede all of my activities, but I am [...]

Technically I have a personal blog that has a shopping cart (with stuff for sale) so it is a shopblog, but I really detest some shopblogs because they are nothing but “Buy this, and ooh lookie, buy this too” and “I just made these, and wouldn’t you know everyone wants one?” So I try to [...]

I have weird dreams. Actually, I think my dreams seem weird because I tend to remember at least one or two of them each night and they aren’t so weird, just the more memorable images. Like last night in my dream: I was on a beach, there was a small house, surrounded by water (indeed [...]

When I walk away from my sewing table, I’m never quite sure what I’m going to find when I come back. Sometimes entire projects go missing. Sometimes there’s a shirt missing a button or two laying on top of my current project. And sometimes there’s a robot armed with my shears. A sewing robot. Genius. [...]

The only thing between me and the path to certain destruction right now are gallon sized ziplock freezer bags. My personal stash of large ziplock bags is running dangerously low. I am terrified. I managed to get through the next two steps of sewing, so my next step is filling the sachets with potpourri and [...]

I’m working on the Goldfish from Kumiko Sudo’s book Omiyagi. I started on it sometime last night and for some reason the fact that I have a camera totally escaped me, so while there aren’t the intimate details, I have a few somewhat in progress pictures to share. I am doing all of the sewing [...]
