Busy Bees

Finish up one quilting bee and start another. I like new beginnings. I signed on to another virtual quilting bee several months ago not recording the begin dates or other specifics of participating. Fortuitously enough, as soon as I sent out the blocks from my original bee I received the first set of fabrics from…

Virtual Quilting Bee – Mission Accomplished

I finished up my final three blocks for the Virtual Quilting Bee.  I’m quite embarrassed at how long it took me to finally complete my end of the bargain (and a little shocked when I realized just how long it had been!) Our ever gracious hostess Mama Urchin sent a reminder e-mail several weeks ago,…

La Leche League It’s a Wrap!

I had the best time today attending and helping out at an event called It’s A Wrap. Organized by Melissa Bonghi of La Leche League of Bainbridge Island, it was an afternoon filled with breastfeeding, nutrition, and baby wearing education for pregnant moms. The new mamas also had the opportunity to sew their own baby…

The day Handmade Beginnings: 24 Sewing Projects to Welcome Baby by Anna Maria Horner arrived at the studio you could hear the ooohing and aaawing echo across the room…

15!

On Sunday, I spent the afternoon debating between 30 different cell phones and scratching my head at the cost of upgrading our family plan to unlimited texting. I now have a 15 year old and I love her so much. Smart, Beautiful, Unique, Knows Everything, Emerging, Discovering and Embracing who she is. Not too many…
