Monthly Archives: April 2011 I love to sew. I’m so grateful to modern quilting for making it more accessible, more fun, more relaxed. I love that we have so much choice–machine or hand, complex or simple, scrappy or coordinated, solids or prints, modern or reproduction, bright or subdued. I love that for every taste there is a pattern. For […] the good news is that they’ve revised the forecast and we’re NOT getting snow tomorrow and the temps will stay well above freezing. the bad news is that it seems like the big bad wolf is trying to blow our house down. I have a feeling both babies will be in our bed by midnight […] Since it was in the low 70s this morning and will be 19 degree tomorrow, the children have been playing outside. Though I’m starting to worry they might get blown away as the wind is getting worse and worse! Will has been playing outside in the sandbox this afternoon. Happily singing, have ‘tea parties,’ and suddenly I took a closer look at one of his toys. He was playing in the sandbox with one of our stemless wine glasses. I can only imagine what the neighbors must say. I love making gifts. It’s fun, it’s personal, they’re unique. But I feel like you can only make gifts for girls. Boys are hard. Think about it–for mother’s day, the possibilities are endless. You can make a purse, or slippers, or a tote, or a skirt, or a scarf, or an apron or potholder…lots of […] Mommom. Mom-my. Mom. MOMMOM.
