It has been a whirlwind ornament-making extravaganza over here. I started the first batch of four before Thanksgiving, and for the last two days have been working on the second batch of four. I now have eight very hairy ornaments in need of a trim, and some facial features. They should be all spruced up […]

As in, baking a loaf of cranberry bread. Mmmm. I’ve also made a pie crust, with the actual pie to follow tomorrow. I’ve baked gingerbread, which will be crumbled up into a pumpkin trifle tomorrow, and I whipped up some instant pumpkin pudding with a mix Neil found at the grocery store this afternoon. It […]

Hello, my name is Lisa, and I am subscribed to too many blog feeds. There, I said it. I’m a Google Reader fan, and I’m embarassed to tell you how many feeds I have taking up residence there. Years ago, I adopted a hierarchical structure using labels: The read-me-first category, which contains my five favorite […]

This weekend we did that thing we sometimes do when Neil will be away at a conference: we went with him and took advantage of the hotel room that would otherwise go largely unused. When we go to a hotel, the boys enjoy the change of scenery, and would be happy never to leave the […]

Ok, technically, the one that’s for me isn’t even for me to keep – it’s for my MIL, and it’s part of her birthday gift. I went back to my trusty little blue Knifty Knitter loom this week and made my very favorite neckwarmer pattern: Cashmere Neckwarmer [the only link I can find is to […]

Hey, remember when this used to be a polymer clay blog? Well, if you’ve been nostalgic for those days, maybe you’ll like what I have to show you tonight. This weekend I took a class with Ellen Marshall in Philadelphia. Ellen is the queen of surface treatments. Whereas most of my own claywork involves the […]
Read More: Gigantic swampy earringsThank you Sarah (and everyone who seconded her suggestion yesterday) for mentioning Color Catchers. They did the trick! I washed the quilt twice, and each time got up a little more pink. There are still a few seams that have a tiny bit of dye in the stitches, but you really have to go looking […]

I’ve been working on-and-off for the last few weeks on a quilt for the latest Craft Hope project. About three days ago, I had pretty much lost my enthusiasm for hand-sewing the binding, but I plugged away anyway, knowing it was for a good cause, and I finally finished it last night. The Space themed […]
Read More: Pink.Recently I’ve been doing something nearly unheard-of for me. I’ve been shutting down my laptop around 8pm and enjoying the rest of the evening unplugged. Turning on the computer is one of the first things I do in the morning, and until recently, turning it off has been one of the last things I do […]
