If Not Full Time, What Then?
Your words of support and encouragement on my last post have meant the world to us, thank you for being so generous! It feels good to finally share our news, mostly because my writing has been incredibly blocked for months now by keeping this one aspect of our life secret when truly, it is th...

Hi, I dont do appraisals, but I think a local woman does. Google Linda Hunter quilts and you will find her. Coincidentally, my high school students are making a repro PanAm quilt. We have one at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site here in Buffalo. I would love to see a photo of your quilt. Its my favorite because of the local history. Good Luck! Vicki

Excuse my radio silence here yesterday. Typepad - my blog hosting service - apparently had quite a rough day, and my pre-written and scheduled blog post got sucked into the abyss of the internets, never to be seen again! In seven years of blogging with them, that's never happened. So there you g...
I know! My twins will be 4 this summer and I look at them and can't believe that YEARS have gone by. Slow down time! I love having little people around. I can see why people have another one!

Yesterday afternoon while I was out in my yard enjoying the glorious spring weather, I was reminded of old times. Ava, Alex and their friends were playing on the swings while I piddled around the yard with Ceci. There was a time not so long ago when this was our routine, only Ava was the ...

the elusive knits :: where to find them
This weekend, I sewed up a few girly yoga skirts for my sweet nieces, who just turned four and six. While I'm characteristically late in getting their presents to them, I figured I'd make up for it by going all-out with the pink and purple. This is a challenge for me. While I do like purple, p...
