Woodlawn // kitchen update + lists
Oh, people. I think I may have just completed my most overwhelming, crazy week ever. Not only was this the week we flew in Dan's amazingly talented carpenter-brother for a week of hard-core kitchen bootcamp, it was also the week I started a new job with BabyCenter, had vets coming to our house ...
Christina did! The same tanagram quilt wonder.

Truly is at the pull out phase. If you were to come over right now you would have to step over a trail of mismatched shoes, overturned books, and bagged beans and tins. She moves from glove and hat bin to the kitchen drawers with speed and precision. We have always done bare bones child proo...
That is a great idea. They usually have a buy it now table with smaller things.

Fabric Windows Again
(window, pre-trim) I starched my windows in August 2008-- I buried it in this post about a skirt I've barely worn. (Whatever.) Anyway, I get a good number of queries as to how it has held up and I can report back that it's still up and going strong. It's been so good that on the advice of...
Ack! I have a carving tool I've never used, and a block of rubber untouched. Clearly I need to remedy this.

carving stamps
When I turned in the first draft of the manuscript for my book a few weeks ago, the first thing I did was treat myself to a few new craft books. I had avoided purchasing new books that would distract me, and I was in the mood for someone to tell me how to make something. I happily flipped and...

Tova dress (in a day)
I purchased a few yards of Chicopee corduroy in the fall with the express intention to make myself a Tova dress. After my failed attempt at a sleeveless Tova, this seemed a little foolish, but I just couldn't get the idea of a super soft corduroy frock out of my mind. I sat on the fabric for a c...
you guys are one of the very best things about my own blogging (along with the other usual suspects). and i'm glad you all are catching on to this SLOW thing that i've been doing for YEARS (totally purposefully, i might add, and not driven by my insane household situation) and just waiting for it to catch on. sheesh. it's about time.

Sometimes all these colors feel like too much. I want to pick just. one. I have been blogging in this space for almost 8 years. Eight years. That is actually the longest I've ever stuck with any type of journal-keeping of any type. Now, of course, it has all changed quite a bit since I start...

I have a long list of quilts I want to make-- some from patterns in books or online, and some that I have yet to realize on paper. When I saw Anna Maria Horner's free Feather Quilt pattern for Field Study I put it at the top of the list. I had a stack of fat quarters from the Japanese comp...

Shortly after the Baby Girl Announcement, Erin sent me a stack of Japanese girl/kid sewing books her girls had outrgrown. She is an excellent gifter. One of my favourites in the stack is A Sunny Spot (ISBN978-4-529-04894-1). The clothes are femine and unfussy. They are also pretty easy to s...

Those are great ideas, Kathy! Thank you. Unfortunately, my scraps are too small (less than 1/2 yards) for organizations to use.

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great holiday. We spent a week in New Mexico with Peter's folks and I fell in love with the whole area, so very different than my normal day-to-day surroundings. We visited a few museums, ate some really good food, walked among the 200,000 year old petrogli...

It was a blustery day yesterday. The sort of blustery that was sunny and pretty and dark and lovely all at the same time. Come hither Fall, we made it through summer with flying colours this year. So I wore my boots! and long socks! and my new skirt made from a paper bag of a dress I got a...

We had this Christmas last year (the hospital but not the rod) and the only baking I did was for me. This year there was no hospital but I baked even less and now I'm wondering if I'm just becoming the Person Who Doesn't DO It... Dear god, I hope not!
I'm holding out hope for next year. These ones will go on the list. Xo

Some things I didn't know until late last week: :: Our city is home to a Children's Hospital nicer than I knew existed. Swell doctors, gentle nurses, excellent in-room parent beds, and some of the uplifting-est decor I've seen anywhere. Also, really good lobby coffee. Very important. ...

For those of you who have purchased or sewn with Japanese double gauze, your eyes are probably popping and you're thinking "GIRL, YOU BOUGHT ALL THAT?!" I'll stop you there and say, no, I didn't buy it, I STOLE IT. That makes it better, yes? Mariko had a stack of half yards of Nani Iro...
