What should I start with today? Lets start with the oldest finished project, another wrap skirt.

This one I tweaked a little. I placed the piping 5/8″ from the edge, instead of 3″, which gave me more of a “wrap” and more coverage when the wind blows. I also omitted the pockets, which [...]

When we bought the house and started gardening, I had no clue what I was doing. I still don’t really. It’s a compilation of things gathered off the internets and hoping that they work. So when a friend said she was taking a bunch of gardening classes, I took a look and [...]

Quilting first. I spent my weekend indoors, hacking up a couple lungs. When I wasn’t sleeping, and the hacking was at a minimum, I did a little knitting, and a little sewing. I finished up the quilt top!

I have the rest of the materials to finish the quilt, but with a big [...]

…it’s been almost weeks since my last blog post. Life has become a little crazy, what with work, and socializing and stuff. Some of our dearest friends moved from Long Island last week to NJ, and we’ve been over there helping them out. And I had a relapse on my back issues; [...]

First, a big thank you to all the wonderful comments on the blogiversary, and a big congratulations to Denise, who won the shawl. It should be in the mail shortly!
So, there has been knitting, but it’s for KP, so I can’t show you. It’s slow going though. Today’s all about the food. [...]

1. Chicken Tikka Masals, 2. Red Velvet Truffle, 3. Cherries from the garden, 4. Garlic from the garden, 5. Carrots/beans from the garden, 6. Raspberries, 7. Apples, 8. Made from scratch bagels
You might think I’ve done nothing but garden/cook, but I have been slowly working my way toward the end of the Anniversary Mystery Shawl. [...]

- Pictures of the cupcakes and the brownie “cupcakes” from 2 weeks ago. The brownies spell out “ABYBAY”, our very affectionate term for the baby. Cupcakes are from here, and the brownies are just my brownies, in cupcake form. I cut out letters out of a piece of cardboard, placed on top [...]

As some of you might know already, I was in a car accident a couple weeks ago. My car is fine, though my drivers side mirror is not (though ghetto fabulous duct tape is in, right?). I am fine, except I have had back pain since. This weekend, though beautiful outside, I [...]

While there were some small breaks of sunshine, the majority of the weekend at MDSW was rainy. Come home to NJ, and it’s rainy. It’s rained every day so far, though today, there’s this thing in the sky that kinda hurts my eyes when I look at it. The weatherman promises me [...]

I’m sitting here trying to think of what I’ve done in the past week since the last blog post, and I honestly can’t think of what I’ve done. Either it was really boring, or it was so packed with stuff that it kept me too busy to remember. Either way, I have pictures [...]
