So, I finally finished picking off all the tiny scraps of paper on the back of the quilt top. That was the hard part. The actual basting, quilting, and binding were a piece of cake.
I had actually sewed all of the squares together a long time ago, probably circa 2004. [...]

We went to go see They Might Be Giants again, this time playing a kids show in Columbus. My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew went, too, so that was fun. I mean, it has to be fun when this much confetti is involved, right?
Weirdly, we were allowed to take pictures and videos inside the [...]
I bought some Mexican cocoa tea stuff at Whole Foods a while back. I didn’t realize it had anise in it. I’ve tried it both hot and cold now, and it still tastes foul to me. I think I’m just going to pitch the rest of it. What is wrong with [...]
Hey! I’m actually productive!
Posted in Dyeing, Knitting, Sewing, Weaving, Yarn, etsy on Oct 20th, 2009
I’ve finally shaken off the malaise that I’ve had since coming home from vacation and am back to doing crafty things. It’s been nice. This morning I dyed some yarn for the shop, which has been neglected for the past month. Don’t be sad, little Etsy shop! I will soon refill [...]
Had an up and down past couple of days. I got to see an old friend who I haven’t talked to in forever, so we had to spend the day gabbing and catching up (Lawsuits! Weddings! Drama!). So that was a lot of fun. Note to self – hang out [...]
So, our web hosting server was hacked by nefarious doers of evil. Which is kind of a pain in the butt, but also somewhat a relief, because at least I didn’t break anything. Everything should be better now. If not, let me know, either through a comment, e-mail (I think my yarnzombie [...]
Marshmallows are the bacon of the desert world

As I’ve often mentioned on this blog, my family loves food. We are foodies, and proud of it. We are the people sitting across from you at restaurants, taking pictures of our dinner. We are the people who linger in the cheese department, carefully weighing the pros and cons of buying a [...]
Baby, if you’ve ever wondered…
Posted in Dyeing, Knitting, Photography, Sewing, TV on Mar 18th, 2008
…wondered whatever became of me…
This post is alternately titled “Time Warner blows goats.” I decided to go for the more positive, WKRP-shoutout instead, but first, the goat-blowing: Time Warner Cable has decided to move BBC America to a digital cable only channel. And of course, I don’t have digital cable.
After much profanity [...]
I hate basting!
Posted in Family, Knitting, Pets, Photography, Sewing on Feb 20th, 2008
Basting quilts suck.
I know as a fact that one of the main reasons I have so many unfinished quilts is that once I’d get to the basting step, I’d totally poop out and lose my will to live. For non-quilters out there, basting refers to the process that somehow temporarily attaches the three layers [...]
It’s 1 and 1, February
Posted in Food, Politics, Random, Sewing, Spinning, TV, Yarn on Feb 11th, 2008
I’ll concede that the first week of February kicked my ass, but I think I’ve rebounded quite nicely in the second week. This weekend especially has been pretty productive. I wove a shawl in a few hours on Saturday, using yarns that I’ve been hoarding since last summer:
(I look kind of stoned. [...]
