Modish July Giveaway!
It's summer, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the Earth is smiling. How can this day get any better? Well, how about with a totally awesomely radical and fantastic giveaway! Yeah! Since I had to skip last month's giveaway, I promised to make this one a big ol' doozy, and hopefully ...
Amazing! I'm so excited about the Christmas globe terrarium. It's AWESOME. Also, your cool orb is great. What a fun post.
moist dirt.
Santa (my husband) gave me this insanely cool terrarium for Christmas. He got it here in Portland at Pistils and I love it so much. I have been admiring terrariums for a bit now (who doesn't love these things!?) and now I have one, which is perfect because I officially got rid of my 4 remainin...
Love it! Those colours are great. Nice tablecloth for sure.
it sure looks clean right now. .
**update-you can get these fabrics right here! I got this really fun fabric from Cia's Palette and then was stumped by how to use it. So I was laying it out on the table. . and there you go--I realized it would be a perfect tablecloth. I had two 1/2 yard cuts, so I just torn one down the middl...
Cool! Congratulations! I'll be on the look out for that for sure. I love the cover.
Big News! (but not for 5 months.)
Okay!! I am thrilled, thrilled, to show you the cover of my book that is coming out in June. June 19th. A long time from now. It's called Bend-the-Rules Sewing; the essential guide to a whole new way to sew and It's published by Potter Craft, an imprint of Random House, and should be available...
Hi Angry Chicken! I got the December 2006 edition of Martha Stewart Living, and I'm pretty sure she's been reading your website. There's a whole article on all the different aprons she's been making for Christmas gifts this year. Hmmmm...
Tie One On-recipe and apron
The theme for Tie One On for November is to share a holiday recipe and show an apron. Any apron. That's it. I wanted to make it easy on us all. . so find your favorite apron, take a photo, and dig though your recipe cards. And while you are at it, please check out Hannah's cool new food/recipe b...
I love the idea of you following the journey your grandmother took through Europe. I'd definitely read that book. Happy writing!
The books I would write...
This week's Sunday Scribblings challenge: The books I would write would allow me to travel to the places I've been dreaming of all my life, and to write about them not in the usual here's-the-best-hotel-in-town and where-to-get-the-best-deal-on-shoes style of travel book, but to write about my ...
That little fish one is very cute. I think he's my favorite!
sock distractions.
Over the weekend I went to the Japanese bookstore and found this. It's new to me, but I see others have found it and love it too, who wouldn't? See more photos over on crafting Japanese. ISBN 4579110617. These are all made of socks or gloves. The cute/sad factor here is killing me. The d...
I snagged a copy of the first edition (totally ordered while at work!) What can I say? I live dangerously!! I can't wait for it.
sunny friday! at last.
It's sunny here, but windy as all get out. I noticed the daphne is starting to bloom so I am happy even if it's too windy for a walk. I hope it stays sunny all weekend. I am going to try and attempt the chocolate espresso tart in the new Martha on Sunday, in a different shaped tart pan. Can't ...
Word on the Cool Whip. Yuck. Anything that says "edible oil product" just gives me the willies.
Also, I have to say the description of twinkies and Cool Whip and strawberries in syrup really is the worst birthday cake ever. I just can't top that...other than the time I caught my dog licking my friend's cake minutes before I had to take it to her house for her party. I didn't tell anyone. Besides, there were no bees to worry about and dog's mouths are supposedly very clean. Teehee.
I'm saying no to cool whip
Pete's birthday is tomorrow and have nothing for him. Really, nothing at all. I ordered something for him last night seconds before he got home and there is no way it will be here by tomorrow. But, he is very understanding and on Saturday we are going shopping and I know exactly what I will g...
