I need new pins/pincushion! All my pins are dull and - to my shame - bent from being sewn over. Oops. I can hear my grandma up in heaven yelling at me "TAKE THE PINS OUT BEFORE YOU SEW OVER THEM!" Heh. Sorry, Grandma, I'm lazy! :)

My latest sewing inspirations are the gray windy winter ocean beaches - driftwood, rounded pebbles, tidepools, orcas, and cold rain and wind! And hot cocoa when you get home and put on warm dry clothes and slippers.

More swaps happened .... For the Fat Quarter swap, we crafted as many items as we could out of two fat quarters of fabrics, and then also included two untouched fat quarters. My partner has lots and lots of chickens,... Continue reading

Phoebe accompanied me for an evening out in the yard yesterday, and her floofiness was quite floofy. My cat has WINGS! Phoebe attempted to stalk me. Doesn't work well, hon, in short mowed grass. And when you're 10 pounds of... Continue reading

I really like fulfilling book requests ... I was able to buy a classroom a set of the Little House books by Laura Ingalls, and it just tickled me to think of them enjoying the books that I enjoyed so much. It's addictive, fulfilling projects there!!

My favorite charity is http://www.DonorsChoose.org - I get to send my money directly to a classroom, and help students learn! I know exactly what my money is doing, where it's helping, and how it's being used. I love this! I think my favorite donation so far was sending inner-city kids on a field trip into the mountains to learn about geology and geography ... the photos of them out in the woods, ecstatic and full of wonder, made me cry - the kids were SO HAPPY. Some of them had never left the city ever before, they had no idea what a "forest" was, or what mountains looked like, or how incredible the air up there can smell and feel.

Awwww, how adorable! My favorite Christmas carol right now is "Hacia Belen va un borrico", a Spanish carol about a burro. I play it over and over! Favorite from childhood was an old Swedish record that Mom had - wish I could find it in MP3/CD format now!

What do you see in this photo? You may see a jar of pickles ... but what I see is FREEDOM. Freedom from dependence upon others. Freedom from relying on tools. You see, for the first time in about 6... Continue reading

Seattle had been in a deep freeze for the week of Thanksgiving. Monday evening's commute, which was after a heavy snowfall, melt, and re-freeze to record lows, was INSANE. People's bus commutes that normally take 30 minutes took 3 hours.... Continue reading
