I was in Chicago recently when Carolyn was working on her secret family project, a really cool quilt. I couldn't get it out of my head, so it should come as no surprise that one of my next projects would be a quilt. Unfortunately, as it is for a gift, that's all I can tell … Continue reading →

If you have ever lived somewhere that has hurricanes, you have probably heard that term.  It is the cone that they show where the hurricane “may” make landfall.  Well, they cancelled everything today and the tropical storm ended up hitting farther east than Houston.  When it made landfall, it hadn’t yet made it to hurricane … Continue reading →

Picture 001 Originally uploaded by onestitchshort Upon hearing about Stacey’s Red project (link in previous post, I’m a lazy blogger today but hey, I’m blogging again), I checked the stash.

I sat down yesterday to be responsible and finish the Morehouse Shawl I was working on before I started a new one.  As I began to work on it, I decided that I didn’t like it.  I love the yarn and the pattern just not the two together.  My problem is that I picked up … Continue reading →

Let’s just ignore the fact that I haven’t blogged in ages and pick right back up like the old friends we are, shall we? I’m sitting in Chicago’s Midway airport.  I missed the memo on my airline changing their standby policy so that you can’t fly standby if you bought a discount ticket unless you … Continue reading →

You know the rest!  I've been finding little moments here and there to craft, but I haven't had time to post about it at all.  The good news is that my super busy time at work is almost over!  And, there's a lot of fun coming up! The kid's birthday is Sunday, so we are … Continue reading →

I had a Bridal Shower to go to this weekend for my friend Lauran.  She lives in an area where she can walk or ride her bike to the store, so I decided a market bag was in order.  I was already working on an Everlasting Bagstopper to use up some old cotton.  I like … Continue reading →

You may have noticed (if you aren't reading this on google reader or bloglines or what have you) that I am trying to spruce things up around here. It needs a lot of work, but for now a new banner is going to have to do. Life is sort of returning to "normal" just in … Continue reading →
