I have been keeping a secret. A bunch of people around here knew it, but Ceara didn’t, and I don’t think I’ve kept a secret from her for this long ever. Let me give you a little back story. Way back. It’s 2003. I’m in Corvallis, I’ve got crew going on, school and thus art …

Yesterday Brenda received a little package of goodies I sent her when we did a small swap with each other. She posted about it over on her blog and made a point of mentioning the envelop I put a little note in. When I was cleaning up the craft studio I decided to get rid …
Circle Time
On Saturday my mom, Sciarrino, her mom, and I took a class at our local quilt shop. Sciarrino and I saw the quilt in the window of the shop before Christmas and my mom was sweet enough to get me the class for one of my presents. The cutting took FOREVER!! I think it will …
And the heart is lifted.
Ah man did I have a great couple of days. On Wednesday Paula e-mailed me a "hey, hey, what’s up, you should come to this thing and we should meet." I glanced at Ali’s post earlier this week, but didn’t think much of it, because you know, I’m too scared to go anywhere alone. Turns …

Done and done!
I worked yesterday on the studio windows (two facing the street, and one the side of the house): The back has an awesome gradient between the three skeins of my handspun I used. For more details check out my ravelry page.
This will lead to sewing… eventually
Yesterday I got some great goodies from Brenda, who is way over in Australia! On Tuesday I made Emilie go into the comic book store with me, and you know what the guy was so sweet to us. I really recommend going to your local shop and getting these inexpensive acid free bags (ment for …
More vintage pattern love
Yesterday a friend of our families came over with such a delightful surprise. She had emailed me to ask if I wanted some old patterns of her mother’s. Of course, I said! I ran into her at a shop a few days later and she told me, "don’t worry I won’t bring all the old …
The reason I haven’t blogged:
Our internet was all over the map yesterday, but mostly off. Turns out we needed a new wire from the main wire/cable thing. I don’t really understand it but he monstrosity of a tree that is across the street was ruining our cable. Side note: this tree across the street is so insanity. It is …
