Tropical Storm Cindy was more of a thunderstorm than anything else, but she succeeded in getting me two days off work, so I’m thankful! Monday I dropped this off at Daisy’s: Baby quilt for my cousin’s first child, due in August. Shower is July 1. Sidelights might be my new favorite pattern (yeah, yeah, I know it’s been out for years). It only took two days to put this top together. Would’ve been…
…while I look for my in-progress Pokémon blocks. Pretty sure I found the fabric for Jolteon, but I don’t want to start another block with two still unfinished. In the meantime, I have a baby shower to attend July 1 and didn’t even have the fabric for it cut until last night. My weekend is pretty much booked solid. After a sew day with Daisy and Amy, I took the time to get my Dear Jane stuff in…
Fandom in Stitches’ latest QAL has begun! Jennifer kicked it off by sharing an organization trick, which I’m stealing: I think it’s an ironing surface, very lightweight. I have way more on-going projects than this, but it’s a start for getting through this quilt along. My goal is to finish the Pokémon t-shirt quilt I started a couple years ago. I have two blocks in progress (Vaporeon, Leafeon),…
Last weekend was spent in San Antonio, which always means two things: Memories by the Yard, a wonderful fabric store; and Nine Lives Used Bookstore, the best bookstore I’ve visited in years. My cousin is expecting his first child in August, so my primary goal was finding fabric for her quilt. The nursery theme is owls, and Memories delivered: And I picked up a few things for myself, too: a couple…
Just a few of the more successful plants to show off today. Not pictured is the lemon tree, which is looking to produce far more fruit than we expected, with it being in a fairly shady part of the yard. The bell peppers are a wash, but the cucumbers are trying to produce. Seeing everything I nearly neglected to death continue to grow keeps Ursula Vernon’s “In Questionable Taste” running through…
New Pattern: VFD Eye For fans of "A Series of Unfortunate Events," the Volunteer Fire Department Eye! Also, I'm helping to coordinate two quilt alongs for…
Now available in the Craftsy store! Only two more blocks left in the series and the Eeveelutions series will be complete! The rest of the series: Eevee Jolteon Flareon Umbreon Espeon Glaceon Leafeon (coming soon!) Vaporeon (coming soon!)
New Pattern: Eevee Eevee is available in my Craftsy store. Many thanks to Katie Yoakum for testing, I hope your friend enjoyed the gift!
Officer Hopps of the Zootopia Police Department is available in the Craftsy store! I’d forgotten someone had already tested it for me, and it’s just been waiting around for a while. Also started making blocks for a non-fandom quilt I’m testing, but blocks are still in the trimming and chain piecing stage: Sorry for the poor quality, it’s an iPod4. And new additions for the yard list: Blackberries…
Inspired by Ursula Vernon‘s list, I’m trying to identify the animal and plant life around the house. There’s far more than I have listed right now, but I’m slowly learning to identify plants. Common Garter Snake: He lives by the frog pond in the front yard. Brown Snake: Not sure what species, exactly. Thought for sure he’s a worm snake, but the Department of Wildlife and Fishery says they’re on…
So it begins! Left to right: Bell peppers (slow pokes! the cucumbers started a week after you!), a forest of roma and big red tomatoes, basil (one measly sprout, and possibly a second on its way), cherry tomatoes (none, actually, the quitters), and cucumbers (the champions!
Victory Garden, take 2: I tried my hand at gardening a few years ago, and didn't get very far with it.
I’ve now been living in our new house for four months. Brother is moving out soon, and we’ll immediately put my quilting room together (yay for no more boxes or fabric in the living and dining rooms!). Also picked up some soil and seeds today, so I can work on developing our garden. Craftsy store sales: 7, 874 I know that number is so high because 85% of my patterns are free and fandom-related,…
