My version of baby love.
The newest baby quilt makes me so happy; it’s soft and cuddly and the sweetest color combo.

Lost and Found
I didn’t get it all back, but there are some still on the old version of the site when I was still hosting it on WordPress. A relief, though I’m sad to lose several of the essays I’d written. What I have is better than nothing though, and I’ve definitely learned to be more careful
Whoops
So, I guess I learned my lesson… I managed to, in one click of the ‘OK’ button, delete my entire blog. Two years worth of blog posts gone. I’m still a little flummoxed at this point, but I’ll start re-building it tomorrow. Tomorrow I will face the consequences of what I did and see just
It’s a Giveaway!
I’ve participated in plenty of blogger giveaways, but always as the one hoping to win (which, in fact, I have been lucky enough to do twice!). Now it’s my turn to give back as part of the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day. There are a five hundred-odd blogs participating, and just for the price of
Isn’t Life Just Weird
Well, we finally made it back to our house–Audrey and I spent two months with our friends and Stuart spent nearly three months away. The last bits of work (floor, priming, painting, trim) being done by us so we could finally just get him back in the house and living with us. So incredibly frustrating.

It won’t be available until summer, so that’s a nice reprieve. I’ve got plenty to do before then!

Strings and Things
I have a love/hate relationship with thread. I need the variety, really, because there is nothing more frustrating that having to drive to the store in the middle of a project just because I didn’t have enough thread. I want to have it when I need it, but that means I need a bunch on

Exploring Ashland
I was asked late last week if I could chaperone my son’s high school when they went down to Ashland for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (which is, btw, sort of a misnomer… there’s more than Shakespeare). I agreed and figured I could take the time to do some hand-sewing and explore Ashland for any fabric
Quilting for a cause
I’d made this quilt a couple of weeks ago and was going to put it up on Etsy until I heard about the Quilts for Quake Survivors. My housemates were in Japan during the quake, so it hit a lot closer to home than expected. We have former exchange students in Japan, too, and maybe

Can anything be too cute? How about this?
I came across something that actually made me yearn just a little for my daughter to be 7 or 8 again. Luckily, I came to my senses and remembered that I have several nieces that age! Phew. But really how can you resist the absolutely adorableness of this bustle backpack? I have a fondness for
