One would think that living as close to Value Village as I do, that I’d spend a lot more time there than I do. But I don’t. It’s quite possibly the grossest VV I have ever had the misfortune of shopping in-all the clothes, literally, ALL the clothes are disgusting, dirty, ripped, full of crotch [...]
Since I was tagged twice to do this, I figured I’d better get the ball rolling. Mostly I feel like my life is an open book so there won’t be much new stuff in here or any real surprises to anyone, but I’ll try. (And the description of the process, from Ashley’s blog to help [...]
It was exciting, at Ikea the other day, to see new balls being delivered to the ballroom. An old friend of mine worked in the kid’s zone at Ikea a number of years ago and told stories about children too excited about the balls to bother getting out to go to the washroom so finding [...]
I had some narrow strips of fabric left over from my log cabin quilt block, so I sliced them in half lengthwise and sewed a miniature log cabin block, then made it into a pin cushion.

And they need help with conversions, it seems. I imagine Dick Van Dyke’s voice as Bert in Mary Poppins. (I was looking for a picture of an owl. I swear.)
Jana wrote the pattern and it took me about 24 hours all told to finish it. Easy. And it hurt my brain only a little. Not the prettiest picture of me, I know. Orange and lilac, if you couldn’t tell.
Dog owners. You know, the main reason I don’t have a dog is because there’s no way in HELL I would ever pick up dog crap. I know that somehow it would get on me, under my nails or a skid down my sleeve that would go unnoticed. And I think that a lot of [...]
Last night, on my way home from quilting class (which, just to be clear, I LOVE!), I was on the bus, headphones deep in my ears blaring Howard Stern when 2 LDS guys got on. I think, if I remember correctly, their names were Elder Brainwashed and Elder Superdoy. Anyway. One leaned towards me and [...]
Why go to a pro when I have a super pedicurist right here? From big-baby toe, I got gold, white, pink, black and silver on both feet.
