Why can’t we all be ectoplasm with hands?

Seriously, this whole having a body business. It’s for the birds. You know? You gotta feed it and let it sleep and dress it and stuff. What a pain in the ass.
I feel like one of those neglected Tamagotchi pets. Beep! Beep! God.
Last night I was reading this book, The New Crewel by Katherine Shaughnessy, […]

Target code red

In front of me in a line twenty-seven people long: One trashy couple, early twenties. Girl wearing black jeans and scrunchie; guy with buzz cut and sleeveless t-shirt.
Their purchases: 1 pair mesh see-through panties; one tube KY personal lubricant; 1 copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 5.
I don’t even want to know what these […]

Quilting in public and other anomalies

Day care wants Owen at “school” at 9 a.m. this year, so in he goes. It leaves me a little time before work, even if I go in early, so I brought my quilt and hoop and quilted on a little park bench in front of the county courthouse.
It was fucking weird.
It felt like performance […]

You can take the girl out of Ohio …

But you can’t take the Ohio out of the girl.
Things I enjoy non-ironically:

Country music, including but not limited to Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, maybe a little Garth Brooks if I’m feeling populist, Merle Haggard and, you know, Willie, Waylon, Kris, Johnny and the rest
Quilts, making of
Quilts, snuggling under
Town fairs, pumpkin patches, and festivals involving produce […]

Return of the dead &$%!-ing iPod

To make an awful Monday even worse, my iPod bit the dust. Again.
It had been working terrifically since February, when it died for the first time and I resurrected it by beating the everloving hell out of it (a documented repair theory for this product).
Then, last week, in the parking lot of […]

Urban Baby Runway - Babylegs contest winners

faster than a speeding bullet
We won two pairs of Babylegs from Cara’s contest on Urban Baby Runway. Owen loves them, but I think I love them even more. If it weren’t 90 degrees out he’d be wearing them all the time.
Feeling lucky? The new contest is up at UBR, featuring things from Tale of a […]

Bedroom redecorating

decorating on a serious budget
Will it embarrass you if I tell you the whole thing cost $175? Because I’m kind of proud of that.
Though you really need to see the before pictures to understand how impressive that is.
The room is intended to be a neutral palette to display the bed quilts I make (once they’re […]

So long, summer

Here we are, in the last few hours of the last day of summer vacation. Tomorrow, Iain goes back to work and Owen goes back to day care. I’m kind of having a hard time with this.
Mostly, I’m trying not to freak out about Owen going to the toddler room. He’ll be one of the […]

Paint in my hair and joy in my heart

We’re redecorating our bedroom this week — a long and tedious process when you have a job and a toddler.
The walls were the same putty-poop color they were when we moved in, with the added attraction of a giant bare spot where Iain started picking at loose paint. Plus no art on the walls and […]
