I'm just another in a long line of Youth Services librarians who have gotten in line to thank you today. Thank you. Stories like that are why we do what we do. Well... that and the snack.
librarians are awesome
I was recently invited to participate in an awesome literacy project, and I wanted to share an excerpt from my contribution: I want to take a moment and say thank you to librarians, because it was a librarian who made me fall in love with reading. In third or fourth grade, part of our curriculu...
I had such a good time with you and Julen this week. Thanks so much for playing with me!
this week
A very busy week...but I managed to capture a little piece of it every day. Saturday...more cold. Sunday...I finally got around to hanging up these original drawings by my friend Fawn. Monday...started working on a new project. Tuesday...a nightly ritual I love...listening to the peals of ...
I wish I could have gone with you again this year. I miss your face. My phone finally deleted the birthday song you and the boys sang to me, but I must have listed to it 50 times. *HUG*
the great mn get together
Last week was State Fair time for me. I do this annual event much differently than anyone I know. At a time when most people look forward to eating traditional fair food, I always pack a lunch. (check out Red Ravine's post on the 71 food items you can get on a stick! I heard there was even d...

I'm a total office supply junkie! I know what you mean!
Show & Tell : moleskine
I have a problem. Maybe even an addiction. And I'm pretty sure this is a safe place to admit it. To come clean. Because something tells me there are other addicts among us. I am addicted to journals and planners. All things organizational. All that blank space for ideas and lists. ...
Graceling, The Little Giant of Aberdeen County, Fire, The Hunger Games, The complete Dresden series, The complete Gregor the Overlander series, the complete Wheel of Time series
What I Read: 2009
Around February last year, I decided to keep track of all the books I read or listened to. (When I say all, I mean most, because I didn't count picture books I read to the kids at the library, nor did I count the books I read to the older kids for book club. I didn't count magazines either, of w...
I think I am, but I never update it. Its like one more thing to remember to do! Is it worth it?

I'm not that fast of a reader, but I read a lot, if that makes sense. We don't have TV, so I read when others may be watching something and I try and sneak in 15 or 30 minutes whenever I can throughout the day. And sometimes, because I'm lazy, I just read for the whole day. Dirty dishes be damned!

It struck me immediately! I only wish there was a code for "big green circle guy with tongue out" so I could have included him too!
Common Threads
I'm doing my Common Threads submissions all out of order, but I'm just going with what inspires me first, I guess. And then I got all engrossed in making Halloween costumes, so I never got around to posting this. Rossie is making a quilt inspired by the one in this post, so we were instructed to...
Canadians are welcome. You just have to send a bit more money for postage!

First Annual Small Fox Ornament Swap: Sign Ups Closed THANK YOU!
After some disappointments the past few years participating in another ornament swap, I thought it was high time I started my own! And so, I present to you THE FIRST ANNUAL SMALL FOX ORNAMENT SWAP! Here's how it will work. The first 20 people to email me at paperfoxling @ yahoo {dot} com with ...
Lets see:
ice cream: Haagen-Dazs Caramel Cone
book: the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher; Graceling,by Kristin Cashore; Hunger Games and Catching Fire, both by Suzanne Collins; and the Gregor the Overlander series, also by Suzanne Collins.
Presents for You: Fabric Bundles!
Here's another batch of presents I've made for you guys! I have five lovely fat little bundles of 100% cotton custom Black Apple fabric designed by yours truly: To enter, again - just leave a comment! You can leave whatever you'd like, but I always love book, movie + recipe recommendati...
I had this one outfit that I loved when I was in about fifth grade. It consisted of a pair of teal blue jeans, a teal turtleneck and this teal vest with fuchsia flowers on it. I thought it was wonderful. And then this boy pushed me down in the mud and got it all dirty. And to this day, I still can't stand that guy.
Presents for You: Button Grab Bags!
I don't get enough chances to thank everybody that stops by this blog for, well, stopping by. So to make up for that, I've got a few days of give-aways lined up. Woot! First up - I've got 10 Button Pouches full of various misfit buttons (some from years ago!) all ready to give to some of you l...
Let's see, they could be...
The Avalanche
The Blue Morphos
The Blue Jays
The Blue Birds
They could even be something that has nothing at all to do with blue and just call it ironic.
soccer mom
Emma has just begun playing on her first ever soccer team. I can't tell you how much I'm loving it. I sit there on the sidelines and can only think about how big my girl is getting. Then I look across the field to another team practicing--a group of girls that look like they might be in high sch...
Those are so great, Molly! Full of good stuff I could use at the library!
Show & Tell : Crafting Fun, Cooking Fun
I have to confess, I judged these books by their covers. When Rae Grant contacted me to see if I'd be interested in review copies of her two new books, I took one look at the covers--with their vintage illustrations and drawings and immediately said yes. They reminded me of the old go-to Bet...
I was just saying the other day that we desperately needed an outdoors blanket! I sure hope you pick me! And I can't wait to get my copy of the book, if you don't!
HANDMADE HOME :: beach blanket to-go
I'll be sharing over the rest of our "HANDMADE HOME Celebration" days together, a few of my favorite projects from the book. I hope when you start sewing from HANDMADE HOME, you'll take a moment to photograph and share what you've made in the HANDMADE HOME Flickr group. I would LOVE to see what...
Beautiful! Thanks for the link!

I've been waiting for this book for quite some time!
handmade home giveaway
Me: "Mwah ... love you, mailman!" Me to myself: "Isn't it time for the baby to take a little nap? Yes." Bounce, bounce, sway, sway, with book in hand ... Me to myself: "It really isn't easy to bounce and sway while reading a book." Baby falls asleep. Book gets drooled on. By Mama, not Baby. ...
Ooo! My sister is pregnant! This would be perfect.
Show & Tell: Lotta Jansdotter Simple Sewing for Baby
I was so excited to get a copy of Lotta Jansdotter's most recent book called, Simple Sewing for Baby . If you've seen anything by Lotta Jansdotter--her other books, her website, you know her work has a simple, practical and stylish aesthetic. I have always been inspired by her simple desi...
I would love to help and I could do anything, as June is my slow month at work. I only work 2 days a week.
wanna take one for the team?
It's that time... time for me to start begging for help. I'm looking for some testers for the patterns from the book. Do you have some free time? Fabric in your stash dying to be made into a toy? Want to help out your fellow sewers by being the first to discover that whopping mistake that is i...
Sweet giveaway and an awesome shop!
Soulemama Sponsor ~ ALEWIVES FABRICS ~
Today's SouleMama Sponsor is Alewives Fabrics - an online and local (Damariscotta Mills, Maine) shop for fabric, kits and classes! (I wrote about my own finding of the sweet shop way back when). Run by a mother and daughter duo in an antique barn, the shop is full of the most carefully and beaut...
That thing sounds awesome! We don't have anything but our own muscle to chop up stuff, so this would be great!
Show & Tell: my new favorite kitchen gadget
To me, this seems like the perfect "Show & Tell" as we happily slip in to strawberry season. Yesterday I gave it a workout on two batches of jam and it gave me the most perfect, slightly chunky strawberries--which is how I love my jam. And I should probably thank Courtney as well, who turned...
Lovely!

Today's SouleMama Sponsor is Bamboletta Dolls - maker of "natural companions for your little ones." At Bamboletta you can order your own custom-made doll, or 'adopt' a doll from the selection of already-made dolls and doll accessories. Follow along on the Bamboletta blog (where she's hosting...
I just let Real Simple expire too. I only get Ready Made (school fundraiser), Wondertime/Family Fun (which is way not as good), MSL, and Everyday Food. I'm getting a bit tired of Martha these days too. There's not been a lot new lately. I love Everyday Food, though.
You might try checking out the periodicals at your local library. That's how I'm getting my Real Simple and Cook's Country fix these days!
ONE simple question, no. 5
I can't believe I'm actually saying this out loud. But last month, I actually considered whether it was time to break my more than ten year relationship with my Martha Stewart Living magazine. I have to admit, I feel a loyalty to this magazine. It was my first dabbling into grown-up things. ...
(I don't know if the email I replied with went through, so I'll just reply here!)
Smekday is BRILLIANT! How can a book with an alien named J.Lo not be? You will all love it! And Brian isn't stodgy so much, as he hates being read aloud to, but we had a good time with this. I'll be thoroughly surprised if you don't!
The Willoughbys is wonderful! I really like that book a lot! You personally might want to check out the Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks. Oh! And Graceling, which has been my favorite book this year. (I'm not sure how old your kids are, but these two are definitely YA and up. I wouldn't give Frankie to anyone under 12 -- a smart 12 -- and Graceling is 15 and up easy. BUT FABULOUS!)
A Little Name Dropping at Curtain Bluff. With O.J.
I have a confession. I am not a celebrity. I don't even know any celebrities. But I once pretended to be one. . .not like an imposter or impersonator: (I'm not really the Pope. Or Abe Lincoln. I might be Sammy Davis, Jr., however.) And maybe "pretend" isn't even the right word. It's...
