Hand lettered

I don't typically have the patience for embroidery, but something about block letters and no curves makes doing messages on the backs of quilts fly by. I like the results, too.

Playhouse progresses...

Finn is 2!

Doesn't he look old!?
Thanks for the sweet pic, Nate.
And featuring a very handsome coat by Grandma Marie.

New shoes!

I'm pretty jealous. These are basically exactly what I want to be wearing. Our friends Sam, Lane and Pasquale sent these to Finn. What a lucky dog!

Is it still a "nap" if he talks the whole time?

1 hour or so of chatter and futzing with the blinds. I walk in. Finn says in a very cheery voice, " I'm dwiving!"

Rockin'!

Yes, that is a bikini top doubling as a guitar strap!

Springtime colors.

My mom made me this same darling little bag from an Amy Butler pattern although hers is a bit more professional. Anyhow. I'm all about using what's in my stash right now so every single thing came from the stash! (well the exterior came from a garage sale this weekend but I bought it without planning on making this, so it qualifies as "stash") Anyhow, this pattern was strangely difficult despite its pint size but it'll go way faster on the next one.

Sunny Vancouver!

Back on the good stuff

It's not that Tony's isn't good coffee, or that we were suffering drinking something else. But, Bluebeard is really great coffee and it feels like a treat drinking it everyday

Freestyle!

Tyler asked me a while back if I ever just sew freestyle--kind of like how a skateboarder just responds to what comes as they cruise down the road. I said no. But today I decided to try a little more freestyle and used up some scraps and swatches that I got at the fabric store yesterday. MC Escher look out!!

Washcloth for Baby Lars!

The easter outfit!

If I were a country, this would be my flag.

3 x Greenlake = A little foggy

Easter deviled eggs!

My mom's got an old skool book called, "Eggs Cookbook". The recipe was a smash! And the CSA paid off with a whole bunch of unique radishes for garnish. I felt like a food artist making these. Happy Easter! And thanks to Ryann for posing with these critters.
