Or are you about ready to gouge your eyes out by now? These are for the boys. The one on the left goes with Aidan’s orange vest, and the one on the right goes with Eamonn’s blue vest. They’re both made in my usual way, with flannel backing, polymer clay buttons, and a few patches […]

I’m making scarves for the boys. They’re going to be the two columns on the left, made to match their blue and orange vests. The other three will go in my etsy shop. I had to make coordinating buttons, of course… Here’s another series of scarves I’ll be working on. The one on the left […]

Some days when the boys are home from school, I get all domestic and get in the mood to take care of laundry, clean up the kitchen, maybe catch up on some business email. This is not one of those days. When it became clear to me that the guys were hunkering down for a […]
Read More: This is not one of those timesThe boys and I braved 50-degree temperatures, squeaky car brakes and raging PMS for a quick trip to Wal-Mart today. I was in need of baby blue thread, and Neil not being home, I couldn’t just run out on my own. Waiting until Monday was out of the question because I really wanted all three […]
Read More: Poor little misfit scarfSee? Told ya my Swamp color scheme and the Bleeker Street fabric belonged together! It practically looks like I custom-mixed those clay colors to match, doesn’t it? I think this combination is just yummy. And what is interesting to note is that there is no actual aqua in the Swamp scheme. The light blue and […]

So the lawn guys were here today cleaning up two weeks-worth of leaves. They did a great job on the lawn, the sidewalk and the driveway. And speaking of the driveway, guess where most of the driveway leaves got blown? Yeah, oh so conveniently onto the car. And up against the garage door. Neil was […]
Read More: Leaf me alone32 degrees to be exact. It inspired me to get started on a line of scarves for my Etsy shop. I finished the first today and have the fabric cut up for five others (one of which I am keeping for myself). I used prints from Robyn Pandolph’s Empress Woo collection on the front, along […]
Read More: It was darn cold this morningWe made a different kind of cookie yesterday and were waaaaay more successful than we were with the ill-fated Pumpkin Biscotti. This time I had the “help” of a little person, which is always nice, and we slaved away all afternoon getting that sugar cookie dough perfect. Yes, it takes the ultimate concentration to combine […]

I finally made Neil a pair of lounge pants, but I couldn’t persuade him to model them for you. When pressed for a reason why, the variety of answers I was given included “I refuse to be objectified by you on flickr” and “because I’m not five years old.” What, only five-year-olds can appreciate cowboy […]

It took me the better part of the afternoon, but I made my first scarf today. I pieced together some coordinating fabrics for the front and used a solid-color flannel for the back. I also got to try out a technique that I had tested yesterday on scraps – polymer clay appliqué onto fabric. I […]
