I love your yarn dyeing adventures - the color ways are gorgeous. And I do remember that wonderful little sweater and can't wait to see what it looks like when completed. I'll have to check Ravelry to find out.
I'm always impressed by your energy level and busy ways. Meems is growing up so quickly!

Spring Things
Oh, lovely spring. I love spring. Cold rain, squelching lawns, worms and robins, daring daffodils. Magnolias are so gorgeous (at first). I'm watching for the grape hyacinths, which I love. At school there's a regular blooming hyacinth in the foyer. Its scent insta...
This is an heirloom. I am awed and in love. Congratulations, Amelia. This is just such a treasure. Thank you for sharing it with us.

A Birthday Quilt for My Girl
A few months ago, I stumbled upon this pin on Pinterest. It was a set of embroidered coasters designed by Japanese embroidery designer Hiroko Ishii in the (all-in-Japanese) book Stitch Ideas Volume 11 (ISBN 978-4-529-04826-2). Before I knew it, I had ordered the book, planning to make a birthday...
I love her seriousness about her artwork, and the artist's smock is wonderful. It is so nice to see you so thoroughly enjoying your priceless child.

Our pink painting, January 27, 2015. :)
"i" is ice cream (cone) and "n" is nest, as in bird's nest.

Swirlywhirl, and Slow
January. What would I do without you, specifically your frowsy second half, after the holidays and the birthdays and the outings? Because there are the lights . . . and the burnt-out lights and the only-half-put-away decorations and the only-half-put-away pres...
Such a gorgeous day to explore the forest. I have always loved the woods, from growing up in my small town in Massachusetts, to visiting my grandparents' camp in Maine and now living in Washington state. I used to belong to the Mountaineers when my daughter was young; we hiked often and she still loves the woods and often takes her own family camping. I am sure that Mimi will have a huge appreciation and love of the woods as she grows up.
I remember reading about your horrible foot injury and how it impacted your lives, with Andy changing careers and becoming a nurse. It speaks volumes of your amazing character that you have found ways to enjoy your life despite the constant discomfort from that life-changing injury. Thank you for sharing your life and amazing talents with us. I absolutely love the way you dress Mimi - what a blessing for all of you to have her in your lives.

Into the Woods
Enchanted forest. This is the west end of the Old Salmon River Trail. It's just outside of Welches, Oregon, in Mt. Hood National Forest. I think it's our favorite walk (also pictured here and here). I'm hard-pressed to find an easier (it'...
What fun photos. Love her striped bathing suit. The photo of Andy jumping is amazing - hope you continue to enjoy this wonderful summer. And thanks for sharing!!

And everything in between. Cannon Beach, Oregon August 10, 2014. (The picture of Andy towering over the little people is just a weird optical illusion — the people are varying distances behind and around him, and I cau...
thank you, Alicia for letting us in for a snapshot or two of your life. I could live on the Oregon Coast - what a treasure to share with Mimi.

Days of Sun
At the end of a beautiful road lies the ocean. We wind through the fields and the forest while she sleeps. Ryan Adams, cinnamon buns, sunlight flashing through the trees. The road twists through the hills, dipping and bobbing. In the back of th...
I absolutely love the dresses that Mimi is wearing; you are so gifted, Alicia. Looking forward to seeing your smocked creation.

July
Already the plum leaves are starting to fall. The weather this past week has been hot and dry, and next week promises (threatens) more of the same. At the farmer's market the bounty is overwhelming. There is so much, and it is so big and beautiful. In th...
Happy (late) Birthday, Andy! Yesterday was a great day for a birthday.
Alicia - I love your new blog - it's soft, refreshing and peaceful. I am amazed at the vast amount of work you accomplish! I don't know how you do it, but am thankful that you do. The curtains blowing - the window seat. What a lucky little girl Mimi is to have such a wonderful bedroom in a beautiful home with such a lovely family to grow up in. Thank you for sharing with us. I am always inspired by your blog. It's my favorite.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who purchased a new kit, or pattern, or supply, or all of the above!!! Stacey is here packing up kits and getting them on their ways to you as I write. I am so excited for these critters to get out into the world. I've been ...
I just noticed that Miss Clover Meadow is no fool - she has planted herself close to the high chair. We had some snow in the Seattle-Tacoma area over the weekend and it was mild, but fun. I had to remove the 3" of snow off the hummingbird feeder so the birds could get to their food supply on Sunday.

Super duper completely wonderful. Two whole days of snowing, snowing, snowing, and possibly more on the way. Apparently snow is like a cat: Threaten it with your complete disinterest and the next thing you know it's all over you. Oh joy...
I was so surprised to see Amelia sitting like a big girl on the floor. How time flies. My "baby girl" turns 42 in March - time flies so fast. I love the Portland Zoo; your photos are wonderful.
Your crewel project reminds me of one I've had since 1980 of Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. Some day - some decade I should probably get the embroidery thread and get going on it.

Aw, it was one of those weeks. The kind where five out of seven days of it we were fighting with the furnace, trying to make it work. The repair dude was here at least five times. A different repair dude is coming this morning, after the first one basicall...
Happy First Birthday, Amelia! I am sure it's a magical, memorable and wonderful birthday for everyone.

Hello, dear friends. How are you? It's a lovely fall morning here in Portland, Oregon. I'm drinking an apple cider. We've already been up to the store for more flour and more sugar, more apples, and some teensy little pumpkins. The packages fo...
Yes, I do love my dishes, and yours, too. I just started collecting Fiestaware in December, and I am having a grand time. I particularly love a retired color, Persimmon, and fortunately, I've been able to find some cool pieces locally and on eBay in that color. I donated my big Pfaltzgraff set recently to make way for the Fiestaware. I love to open my cabinet doors to the many colors of Fiestaware on display. It makes me wish I had glass doors on my cabinets!

Do your dishes make you happy? Mine do. ;-) Kim
I would say that's a sincere endorsement by the Bee of your new quilt. Thanks for sharing.

The Bee Approves (I Think)
Late at night, after everything had quieted down, I went up to bed. Within minutes, I had a visitor. It's very rare to get a visit from the Bee. She's like the fog, coming in on her little cat feet, peeping furtively at me. I don't dare move. I don't breathe. When the Bee pays you a visit, ...
