Here is my apron for Tie One On. The theme this month is “mini me” and the assignment was to make two apons – one for yourself and one for someone “small in your life.” The tops are strip pieced and the ties are made from long hemmed strips of the white fabric. I kinda…
Bears and Modhaus Boston
New bears. and the little girl on the back of the dress. There was an article in this morning’s Globe about modhause, a mid-century modern furniture and accessories store…in Boston! Charlie and I are always so frustrated reading Dwell and Modernism and Atomic Ranch because all the good stores are on the west coast. There…
A sewing break
I’m taking a little sewing break this afternoon. I put Roxy down for a nap and went into the studio to get started and couldn’t think of anything to do. That’s a bad sign because I’m usually bubbling over with a thousand ideas. After dawdling around for a while, I took out an origami book…
Bunny
We had a great weekend on the Cape. The weather was perfect. Jen and Adam have a beautiful modern home way high up on the bluffs overlooking the bay. Roxy got to play with their daughter who is two years old and so smart and funny. It was really nice to get away, even if…
Flowers
A bee nestled in one of the zinnias in my garden Cock’s combs are also growing. They are such an amazing color red (and is that a daddy longlegs hiding in there?). And a sneak peak at something I am making for a swap with children’s illustrator Holli Conger. We are off to the Cape…
Some questions
Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I woke up to some great birthday treats from Charlie and Roxanne, including several sweet and clever cards, two sewing boxes to help me get my sewing room/studio space organized, and…Adobe Photoshop (or actually a promise to purchase it during our upcoming tax free weekend here in Massachusetts)….
30
Me and my mom leaving the hospital in August of 1975.
She nearly drowned (but she’s okay, dont’ worry!)
Two nights ago in the bath Roxy got the idea that it would be fun to lay down on her back. This was possible because we only put a few inches of water in the tubby when she takes a bath. She had so much fun getting her hair wet that I let her do…
She’s walking backwards!
On Sunday morning Roxy suddenly realized that she could walk backwards. Now, if you say, “Back it up!” she starts walking backwards with a huge grin. I like making the “beep beep” sound of a truck backing up while she’s doing it. The Month of Softies gallery is complete. It is really fun to view…
Safetey eyes are evil
I went to a doctor’s appointment this morning and left Roxanne with a babysitter for two hours. And she did great. I was nervous about leaving her because she is so focused on mommy and she hardly ever stays with anyone else during the day. She cried for five minutes when she first woke up…
