Ooh! This would be a good complement for my collection of 1970's quilt books.
Denyse Schmidt's Modern Quilts book giveaway and Hat Shop giveaway winner
Denyse Schmidt provided one of my earliest introductions to the modern quilting movement. I love that she derives inspiration from vintage quilts and designs since these are dear to me already, but she cleans them up for the current quilter so that things look both familiar and fresh. I've gi...
I love how it spells Spoonflower on the micro and macro levels! Geeky in all sorts of good ways. And it's an attractive quilt too.
2012 Spoonflower Staff Challenge Pt. 8: The QR Code Quilt, or How A One-Handed Person And A Sewing Newbie Made A Thoroughly Modern Quilt
This is the eighth in a series of posts describing the projects that are part of our 2012 Spoonflower Staff Challenge. Voting begins on Thursday, March 15, 2012. A QR code, or Quick Response code is a somewhat new technology that, when scanned by a smart phone or iPad app, takes you to a webs...
Lovely! (haleystudio)

Coffee makes me depressed, and alcohol does bad things to my guts. So I use chocolate and "tension tamer" tea. B-vitamins in the morning also give me that "I can do ANYTHING" feeling. Drugs are good!
the uppers & downers of parenting (or, coffee & wine)
I am a drug addict. I use uppers and downers. But only to make me a better parent. I never drank coffee before I had kids. At least not in a "Fresh Pots!" sort of way. We didn't even own a coffee maker. Back in those days, I looked down upon anyone who needed coffee in the morning. The more th...
That is such a sweet ending!
I don't recall saying anything out loud about gifts, but one year I simply *would not* wear the brown shoes my mother had picked out at the shoe store -- I had to get Docksiders. Which were at least twice as expensive. I know now it was hard for her to afford them. Sorry, Mom!
teaching the art of accepting crappy gifts
I'm still recovering from the holiday break. It is hard to get back into the swing of things after you've slacked off for so long. Really? I'm expected to put clothes on my kids again? Can't January be a pajama month too? So before I jump into completely other random things I thought it would b...
Yep. Ours lives at Grandma's.
thank you for the Fisher-Price™ dog, no really
So the holidays are around the corner and I thought I'd do a snobby "what gifts not to buy my kids ever" type post. Like when my 2 year old gets a gift that is for ages 10 and up. "Um, thanks for this great gift that I have to store for eight years." Or gifts that are so huge they take up my en...
1st cake: store-bought but I didn't let her eat any. She had watermelon and loved it.
2nd cake: hand-made lemon/vanilla cupcakes w/mini M&Ms on top (polka dot theme party)
Off-topic, when I first came to your site today, my 2-1/2 year old said "Read me M word?" ("Mama" in word balloon in header). I'm so proud!
birthday cakes and brilliant ideas
My son recently had a birthday. His fifth! I made a cake and I posted about it over on Facebook. A ton of people asked to see the cake. Okay. One person did. Whatever. Regardless of real or imagined demand for this information, here are his birthday cakes through the years... 1st Birthday The ...
Lately it's been molted cicada husks, dead cicadas, and one alive (but sluggish) cicada. Also crabapples, sticks, and of course, boogers.
We've been very lucky on the projectile vomiting front (I got her to the bathtub quickly). That was probably the day after the poop-eating incident, now that I think of it.
gifts from my children
My children give me gifts all the time. I should probably write this as "gifts" so you understand what I'm talking about. This: Is exactly what I am NOT talking about. No, no, no, no, no. Sure, I could write a post about all the flowers, drawings and otherwise sweet stuff they give me. But...
K is 2 1/3 and in the "signature pose" stage: mouth saying "cheese" and eyes squinted shut like sideways parentheses.
Smile! or, taking photos of children
We bought a new camera when I was pregnant with my first. It was, by far, the most used item of anything we got in preparation for the baby. Seriously. We took a lot of photos. And this is what they look like... The Sleeping Newborn Stage Rather than sleep while he did, I took photos of him s...
I call any little brown bird a sparrow.
We've used the phrase "kind of" with much success! Duck -- kind of bird. Sparrow -- kind of bird. Robin -- kind of bird.
Ditto for food items (since previously, dear toddler would only say "want food" and we'd like to clarify whether she wants cheese, watermelon, or bread... since giving the wrong food = tantrum)
duck, duck, duck (or, language development is cool)
Isn't language development the coolest? In case you aren't there yet with your little ones, it is. This happened several months ago when my little one was starting to pick up words. One of his first-ish words was "duck" and he'd point them out in various books. One day I decide to take him to...
