YAY! PIZZA

June 24, 2011

I think it’s a bit obvious, but I’m not much of a blogger.  And to be honest, I
really don’t like writing or reading what I’ve written.  I  much prefer a photo.

—-

The container garden plants aren’t doing too well.  The watermelon succumbed to
my brown thumb. And the zucchini succumbed to squash vine borers, despite
multiples attempts to save them.  And the rosemary crapped out during this
recent heat (hotter) wave. But the tomatoes and basil are doing well.

CONTAINER GARDEN

April 29, 2011

Spring around here is really just a few weeks in early March, so by the end of
April we’re already rocking the summer weather. I’m not really enjoying the 90+
degree weather, but the fruits & veggies I’m trying my hand at seem to be
soaking up all the heat & sun. Those tomato plants down there had at least 20+
baby tomatoes budding on them when I checked this morning.



The cats are pretty happy about the time I’ve been spending out back because I
usually take them with me. Alonzo is good just on the lead, but Nitro has to
wear a little camouflage harness so that he won’t choke himself.

DOLL QUILT SWAP 10

April 14, 2011

Finished up Doll Quilt Swap 10 recently. I was in such a rush to get mine sent
off by the international deadline that I didn’t get any photos snapped of the
scarf & fat quarter that I sent along with the quilt, but I did get a few shots
of the awesome miniature quilt magnets and the pincushion that my partner sent
to me.  This is the 2nd miniature quilt I’ve received geared towards my cat lady
status.

What I sent is above, what I received is below.

GETTING ORGANIZED

April 13, 2011

That right there is a Frankenstein photostitch of my quilting cottons stash. 
While having it all folded and visible like that makes it less overwhelming to
see, it doesn’t make it any less obvious that I need to continue my no-buying
efforts and get started on some stash-busting projects pronto.

Getting all of that fabric folded somewhat uniformly was part of last weekend’s
organization effort.  The husband was away for a good portion of the weekend, so
I spent the most of the alone-time working on random house projects.  I used the
stud finder & drill quite a bit and hung a lot of utility hooks on the walls. 
Now all the garden tools have a home and the ladder is off the laundry room
floor.   We also finally have curtains in the bedroom thanks to 2 Dwellstudio
for Target shower curtains and my ability to sew a semi-straight line.

Next project in the queue for me is a complete reorganization of the
laundry/utility room, including adding shelving to take advantage of the higher
ceilings.  We never really thought through what having a finished garage would
mean when we bought the house.  At the time, our tool collection could fit on
one shelf, so we didn’t really think that we’d miss having an actual garage. 
Now that the tools are overflowing the garage shelving we keep them relegated
to, we’ve realized some organization strategies are in order.

ROBOT LOVE

March 18, 2011

There have been many hand- made robots for my husband over the past few years,
but this mini quilt is my current favorite.



Made as a Valentine’s Day gift for the mister, I used Kona solids, a few Jay
McCarroll prints and  and scraps from the scrap bin. It’s machine-pieced and
machine-quilted. There a loops on the back and it will hang on a dowel on the
wall in the game room with the rest of the robots.



And in other quilty-news, I received the most awesome mini quilt and fabric
bucket from the Urban Home Goods swap and I got my 3×6 Sampler Quilt Mini Bee
blocks sent out.
