There’s been a veritable baby boom among our friends lately, so I’ve put together a couple quilts as gifts. I don’t feel these are my best work — I’m not totally thrilled with the colour and print choices, but I was trying to make due with the fabric I had on hand to try to work…

Backpacks for the kiddies
This is a bit of a late post — I kind of forgot about posting this project until I came across the photos while doing some photo housekeeping. I made these two backpacks for my niece and nephew’s birthdays, which are usually celebrated on the same day at one big party because their dates are…
Another backpack with owls, another sleepless morning
Here I sit, at 4 a.m., when all other reasonable people and creatures (at least in my household) are sawing logs (rather loudly). This has been an extraordinary week at the ol’ day job, and as a result of the insane number of balls in the air, my brain just can’t let go. Even though…
Hanging out with the owls
After a bit of a rough day yesterday, I sit here coming at you at 2:30 a.m. wide awake and yet sleep deprived. Have I mentioned before that I’m an occasional insomniac? The problem has improved since I started my treadmill routine last fall, and then added on the yoga once a week this year,…
The negligent blogger
I’m still here! Really! Just super crazy insanely busy. Have I mentioned before November is my busiest work month? Throw in the Christmas shopping, home renos and a holiday knitting project list, and well, I’m either running around like a soccer mom or parking my ass in front of the TV with some knitting. I…
Totally addicted
So I know I posted a while back about a finished quilt top, but not the actual finished quilt. I did finish it months ago, but it’s waiting for a special someone to arrive into the world, and that special someone is due to arrive TOMORROW! So stay tuned! In the meantime, I’ve finished a…
I’m a quilter!!
So I’ve been building towards a new hobby lately… one I’ve been curious about for some time. Problem is I don’t have time for any extra classes. At least I don’t think I do. Maybe eventually. Maybe after puppy classes are over. In two weeks Luna graduates from puppy class but then immediately starts the…
Serenity now, serentity now, serenity now…
Gotta love when the shit hits the fan at work, in the middle of summer, when things are supposed to be chill. Oh well. Looking at this photo will help: The farm is my happy place. There is a certain change of pace that happens the moment I arrive there. And then there are the…
Growing things and sewing things
I’ve finally begun disseminating the tomato and chile seedlings. I just repotted a second batch of seedlings because I had run out of room earlier with the first batch. They’ll take a week or two to catch up but the ones I repotted about three weeks ago are huge and need to go in the…
