I just can’t seem to drag myself away from zookeeping, socializing, and a wee bit of tv-watching long enough to get a proper post together. Since I know that there are throngs of you missing your daily dose of polka dots, I will force myself to stay awake long past my bed time and post […]
Read More: Scenes from the week after ChristmasThis post is brought to you by an army of three-and-four-year-olds in costumes. My four-year-old brought Frankincense. Today I’m waiting for the Verizon guy to come and install FiOS. It could be an all-day event, since we are likely not to be properly wired. We’ve been a strictly 8-channel (or 10, if you count the […]

I worked on Christmas gifts today. I’d love to show them to you (and hope that the recipients aren’t peeking in here today), but I’m not feeling as wordy as usual. How about I show you what I’ve done, with minimal explanation, and if you have any questions, you can ask me? Also, I gave […]

I’ve been skirt-making again! This time I went back to my roots of using the Sew What! Skirts method, and I used Alexander Henry’s Merry Christmas Santa fabric. And now, as I sit here in a pair of very seasonally inappropriate lounge pants, I am struck by just how much I need to use this […]

Ok, I made that up. But it’s Thursday, and I wanted to show you what I finished yesterday. [Better grab a cup of coffee – this is a long one!] This is the ever-important Christmas apron. Most years, I have good intentions about getting my holiday decorating done nice and early so that I can […]

It snowed today. And then it rained, thereby canceling the town tree-lighting ceremony. This was to be the first year we bothered to go. I heard they were going to have a cookie table, a school band and fireworks. I’ve heard mention of this event every year, and I never envisioned it to be all […]

Can’t say I’m afraid of the camera now, can we? I’m a pretty shy girl in public, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned since opening my flickr account, it’s that it’s fun to take my own picture. It’s bringing out the ham in me, and I never realized that she existed before. Kind […]
Read More: It’s a sickness, I tell you.Ever set out to make a small change that you think will be a Good Thing, only to discover once the deed is done, that there are repercussions you hadn’t taken into account? It took me all of five minutes to use flickr’s organizer to take 200 or so photos and change one property about […]
Read More: It seemed like a good idea at the timeWhat do you do with a boring, too-big t-shirt with an unflattering unisex crew-neck? Usually I just keep it for a season out of guilt and then chuck it in the giveaway bag. Today I had a different idea. How about re-doing the neckline a la those Built By Wendy tops I was […]
Read More: Why my kitchen still looks like World War 3Napkins. Easiest sewing project ever. Ok, well, they can be time consuming if you have a lot to make, but they really couldn’t be simpler. And if you only have five minutes to spare, you can sit down, make one napkin, and get back to the rest of your life. They are the perfect “squeeze […]
