Susan of Persimmon&Pink sent me this lovely bunting this week. Isn’t it fun? I think it adds a great splash of color to my otherwise drab curtains. Ah Sunday morning, my favorite time of the week. You have such potential. I could lounge in my pajamas all...

An In Stitches sew-along is in the works. I’m staying tight lipped until after the holidays so we can stay focused creatively until then. And by “we” I mostly mean “me.” Stay tuned!

I sewed my first In Stitches pattern yesterday. It was fairly simple and gave me the idea of perhaps sewing each of the patterns in this book and blogging the results. Anyone interested in doing this with me? Or even reading about it? It would be a challenge, but Amy...

If I were judge in the KFed/Britney divorce court and that idiot asked me to give him custody of their two children, I’d first ask him to tell me each of his children’s full names and birthdates. Then I’d run a drug test. I’m guessing with fair...

Yanks, please vote tomorrow. If you are in Arizona, I double my plea. We’ve got lots of interesting things (and people) on the ballot. Do your civic duty and don’t give me any grief about not voting as a form of patriotism. I don’t want to hear it....

I ran a personal best 1/2 marathon this morning. It was a beautiful race. A creamy-peach moon hung heavily on the western horizon as we started in South Mountain Park. Slowly, the colors in the saguaros changed from olive to sage green as the sun climbed in the sky. I...

As if hearing one of President Bush’s evangelical advisors just gets massages and meth from gay men isn’t enough craziness for one day, my boyfriend just came out of the closet. Doogie Howser is gay. Barney. Neil Patrick Harris. And to think, I spent many...

Scrappy, patchwork wristlet sent to Reethi. I’m not a clutter fan. I don’t like piles, or stacks or heaps of just about anything — minus the obvious (money and ice cream.) I haven’t always been this way. My childhood consisted of towers of...
