First Mug Rug
I've taken a short break from blogging to paint the kitchen and let me just say, it's a happy place to be now! It is a bright yellow at the far end of the kitchen in a space that I use for sewing. It inspires creativity, let me tell you! Here are some pics: I organized all of my fabric, to...
Very cute! I love the colors, and how thick it is! I bet it's super warm! I'll have to remember it next time I want to make a comforter! Thanks for sharing!

Stuffed Brick Quilt, Tuesday, March 15
I just have to tack the binding to the back and it is finished! I love that is unique. I used Amy Butler's Lotus Brick path quilt pattern (picture only!) then cut my bricks out of fat quarters to a size I could get the most pieces from. I wanted to stuff each brick, but my past experiece with...
Once again, my mom bought countless shoes here for us and the family when I was little. We lived within walking distance. So sad to see it go!!!

Militello's Shoe Repair
I moved to Baton Rouge less than two weeks ago and noticed a number of intriguing abandoned buildings. There are Deco, midcentury, and timeless (aka, I don't know what style to label them) creepy buildings in varying states of decay, all begging for documentation. My first subject is the '60s/'7...
I learned to swim at this pool (my dad attended, then worked for LSU). When we were old enough, we'd ride our bikes here and swim all day. SO sad to see this!!! So sad!

Huey P. Long Fieldhouse Pool
The Huey P. Long Fieldhouse was completed on the LSU campus in 1932. Hearsay says that Huey Long intended it to be the biggest pool around, longer than any run-of-the-mill Olympic-sized pool. It was designed by Weiss, Dreyfus and Seiferth, the same firm that designed the new state ...
OMG! This post breaks my heart. I used to see dozens of baseball games with my dad here growing up. He passed away 2 years ago. Just reeling from the pictures of this site!

Alex Box Stadium
Behold, the remains of the original Alex Box baseball stadium, which was built in 1938 as a WPA project. (Click here for a series of recent "before" shots.) The LSU Tigers played their final game here in 2008, and now this stadium is on deck to enter the great hall of fame in ...
I just found your blog. I grew up there ('68-'83). So sad to see my old neighborhood in such disrepair. But thanks for sharing!

Cinclare Plantation Sugar Mill, Part 2
Apologies for the delay between posts. I was settling back to Brooklyn, procrastinating, freelance writing and looking for a steady job. (I am still looking, and very much hoping for good news about a recent job interview. Wish me luck!) So! Where were we? In the first real post about Cin...
