The Flumps
I have a case of the flumps, in case you hadn’t noticed. Flump. Flump. Flump. Just been blue for a bit. Flump. I’m hopeful I’ll find my zip again, it’s probably just stuck in the couch cushions or something. Flump. My only accomplishment over the last 4 days was cleaning out a cabinet. Flump. Penny says [...]

Pie Madness. I made 5 pies tonight. The first pie was a pumpkin pie. I failed. I think. Will try it tomorrow. Who knows. I think I put too much molasses in it, it’s VERY dark and it looks nothing like the pies my Mom makes. Sigh. I followed the directions on the Libby can [...]

The plan today… 1. Laundry 2. Find small glass Ball jars. 3. LOTS of pie crust. 4. Make a pumpkin pie. 5. Make mini blueberry & apple pies. 6. Make chicken pot pies (freeze for later). 7. Clean. Clean. Clean. Ick. Cat Litter. Clean. 8. Fail miserably at getting everything accomplished. I’m shooting for 65%.

Morten’s posse is growing. Yeah, a bit of a bender at the toy store on Sunday. It happens. I’ve also got about 30 books for the kids at this point. It’s like I know people… Also picked up some treats for the Moms who didn’t ask for a thing. Need to get a few more Barbie outfits (she’s nothing [...]

I really must get more of these circa1970 bottle stoppers. Have been searching high & low on the internet. Nothing. Nada. Grrr. I’m thinking the holidays might be a good time to visit my Aunts & Uncles…and rip through their kitchen drawers… Fits perfectly on the Christian Lacroix Evian glass bottle. Sweetie! Darling! I must have more! You understand…

“Hey, where are you?” asked Phyllis. A legitimate question. Here and there and I don’t know. I blogged voraciously, religiously everyday for almost 2 years. But lately, nuttin’. I don’t know. Busy. Things. Sleepy. Holiday. Stuff. Misplaced my zip. The only thing I can say that may be of interest is that Morten has entered my [...]

Tonight I had dinner with a bunch of friends including Erin Bried. Erin’s book How To Sew A Button (And Other Nifty Things Your Grandmother Knew) comes out on December 15th. Perfect Christmas gift! I have an advance copy (Yay!!!) and am loving it. So many awesome items in this book like… How to make strawberry jam How [...]

Since my usual ham model Lynsey is off on maternity leave I had to seek out a new model. Enter Megan. Super sweet and hysterically funny, she always yells “God Bless You!” when I sneeze (loudly) at work. Megan’s also a very serious marathon runner who raises oodles of cash for the Leukemia & Lymphoma [...]

I thought we adopted a kitty. I was wrong. Good lord, what will we do when he gets big? We will have to move.

On a recent run though the Salvation Army I spied a whale cutting board for $3. Seriously, how could I pass up this preppy goodness? All washed up and hanging from a ribbon in the kitchen. I wonder when the Fiance will notice him? That ribbon will make another appearance later in this post. It’s [...]

Thank you so much for all the good thoughts, suggestions and shared stories on the quilt post. Much appreciated. I have two weeks off at the end of the December and will tackle it then. I’m hoping to also scan some of the prints so that I can make a few accessories and fill in [...]

9. November 2009
Ok so here’s the story… My Mom made this quilt in the late 70’s. She gave it to me when I moved to NYC (on my birthday!) in 1990. It is comprised of clothes that my entire family wore in the late 60’s and 1970’s. For real. Come on, check out some of those awesome patterns! See [...]

Hey, do you see something behind that big tree on the right? Someone hiding in my backyard? It’s Horsey! Maybe you remember Horsey from this post or this post? If you look close you’ll see Super Gay Andy out there too. He and Horsey hang out a lot. Here’s a closer shot of SGA… Wow, Horsey has gotten a [...]

5. November 2009
Ever since our trip to Brussels, I’ve been on a bit of a Belgium kick. I must get back to Belgium, loved it! It was everything I love about France minus everything I dislike about France. It’s arty without being obnoxious. It’s beautiful without being pompous. It’s stylish without being snotty. The people also seem [...]

Between tons of travel, work overload, trying to catch up on life, etc., I’m sort of blog-deficient at the moment. All the projects I’m working on are holiday gifts so I can’t show them. Sorry. I’m a bad blogger. But look, I have kitties and fabric!

1. November 2009
Saturday was our 9th anniversary. I’ll spare you the romance. [you're welcome]. The Fiance bought me the sidewinder (it’s a sewing/bobbin thing) that I’ve been wanting…and I shaved my legs. Yeah, I’m awesome, right? I did attempt to apply fake eyelashes for Halloween. It didn’t go so well, only the middle part adhere’d. Still, I had [...]
