Stamping and crafting…

January 15, 2012

I got invited to a crafty weekend by another internet friend! My twitter pal and snowshoe friend, Moniera, invited me to make make cards and use her fancy stamps and paper punches. I made two more friends at the card making party, drank tea and ate snowflake cookies – a lovely way to spend the [...]

Show-and-tell panorama

January 14, 2012

Lysa is able to be at both ends of the photo because: a) she has superhero superpowers b) she’s really fast c) it’s a photoshop TRICK! Answer: It’s totally A – that is some incredible super power. These are all the “show and tell” items brought in to the quilting guild meeting on Thursday. I [...]

Welcome back!

January 13, 2012

Oh man. I had another evening of pacing around the house last night waiting for my blog to stop forbidding me to enter. That was a weird error screen. VERBOTEN! But, it’s much better now. Hopefully it will stay that way. Yesterday was a big day. We celebrated my co-worker, Ada’s, last office birthday ever. [...]

Oh! What a beautiful morning!

January 11, 2012

This is the first sunset I’ve noticed in a very long time. I usually a) sleep through them or b) miss them because I take a bus that goes west. The sky was pink and blue when I left the house this morning, so I stopped and admired it. It passed quickly, though. The pinks [...]

The Urban Series*

January 10, 2012

*I stole this title from a flickr friend who commented,”Terrific Urban Series” on my photos. That sounds SO fancy! So yes, this is my urban series. It’s like I just started art school or something. Also, thank you, Gemma Geluz. There was still some light left tonight as I left the office around 5:00. I [...]

The opposite of success

January 8, 2012

I thought an “infinity scarf” – I learned yesterday that means a scarf that’s sewn together in a circle, so it’s more like a collar you slip over your head – made with Cookie Monster blue faux fur would be an excellent idea. I actually had some from a stocking project I made in 2005. [...]

Rainy day photos

January 3, 2012

I hadn’t planned on going to Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens today, but when I had the opportunity to re-submit my photo for this month’s calendar, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t realize until after I sent in my photo that Chinese New Year is THIS month. It’s early this year. I thought I’d get [...]

Mini Polaroid photos

December 27, 2011

This is a REAL polaroid photo – I didn’t create this in photoshop or anything. It’s from my fabulous Christmas present from Mike – a FujiFilm Instax Mini 7S. It creates little Polaroids – the photos are about 4 inches by 3 inches. So. Cute. I’ll be able to make some fun little crafty things [...]

Advent Day 22 – Safe at the Solstice

December 22, 2011

We last saw the whole team making a quick get away from the violent potato gang… Dave: Woohoo! Take that, you bully spuds! Carol: Yah! See you later, taters! Mike: Phew! that was close. Thank goodness for Oscar and Donner. I know we complain about their sharp nails, but I’ll never complain again. Editor’s note: [...]

I got my groove back!

November 29, 2011

Hey, wait a minute. That would imply I once had quilting groove, wouldn’t it? That’s a little braggy. I’m sorry about that. I woke up this morning at 4:20…I couldn’t sleep. Time to get on the sewing machine. Really? These pot holders woke me up before the birds? Yup. Yup they did.
