20 May
Hi friends. Many of you have, by now, heard our bad news via the Uncommon Grace Facebook page. My husband learned in March that his contract at his current job would not be renewed for next year. Almost right away, another opportunity fell into his lap. It was a seven-week interview process in...
I am so thrilled for you (but you knew that already!)! It's going to be awesome and beautiful and I cannot wait to hold it in my hands.
And I, too, took the same approach to writing as you did - full on work mode during the day while my children were at school and then full on family mode after 3 and on the weekends. It was among the most satisfying experiences for me.

oh, hello there. my goodness, how time flies - or drags or slips away from you, depending on how you look at it - when you are busy. life since my last post many weeks back has been full and rewarding in so many ways. you see, i have been working on something near and dear to me. something...
I have a similar method, but I do it by zones. Zone 1 is my kitchen, family room, powder room, mud room. I can blitz pick up/clean that in an hour including vacuuming. If that part of the house is clean, I can deal with the rest of it at a slower pace.
And clearly, I need some baskets. (Brilliant!)

Thoughts on the week... If you don't always know if you make much of a difference as a stay at home mom, my I suggest you stop doing anything around the house for two days straight. Our house is now a complete disaster. Ha! Italian-style bossa nova is basically the best ambient music ever...

Hi Gisele - I sewed the fabrics together without a backing fabric. You could just as easily use a fabric foundation, but it might make for bulky seams. - Erin

We returned home from a spring break of skiing in Telluride. It was so nice to get away from winter, even if it is still winter in the mountains. Colorado's winter is different than what we have here. They have sunny skies and temperatures in the forties feel very balmy. And people, sun makes al...

I didn't get to log any free play yesterday - Wednesdays as a rule are super busy. But, I did sneak upstairs to the design wall for about fifteen or twenty minutes after dinner and arranged the blocks until I was satisfied with how they looked. I envision this quilt as asquare so I left blan...

Here are the blocks I made during my hour of free play yesterday. I decided to add some gray, but skipped the low volume and whites mostly because I think I have a plan on how I am going to make this project into a quilt. And this is what I have after three days. I like what's happening f...

Suzanne - I completely understand! Try the improv piecing with scraps - that way you won't be wasting the "good stuff".

Thanks, Ali. A little distance always helps me see clearer. I'm thankful I actually noticed this time!

Yes! Keeping the creative juices running is what it is all about. Thanks for the website recommendation - I will definitely have to look her up.

Thanks, Heather. It's been so freeing and fun just to sit and sew. And as for my new work space...I'm just going to take over most of the third floor. Convincing Kate that it is a good idea is a bit tricky, but I think she will come around. xo.
