Crochet baby car seat blanket

It’s been awhile since I last posted, but since summer nationals, I’ve a) been in a car wreck and getting over whiplash, b) had my sister’s wedding and all the craziness therein, and c) moved. Needless to say, I haven’t done much crafting! I did get this done, though.
I made two crochet baby [...]

2009 Summer Nationals, Day 2

It was an exciting day today! We left bright and early to give DH enough time to warm up before his event (I didn’t fence today). Long story short, he placed 8th in a field of 150+! The top 8 are considered finalists, so he got to go up on stage, get [...]

Neglect

I know, I know, I’ve been neglecting this blog. To be fair, I’ve been neglecting my quilting stuff too. *sigh* I haven’t been motivated to do anything creative lately, and I’m not sure why. I think it’s partly due to the fact that life has been very busy lately (most weekends [...]

Long time…

It’s been awhile since I updated this blog. I haven’t finished anything crafty, so nothing much to post there. I may have some photos by the end of the weekend, though.
I just registered for one of the biggest fencing tournaments in the area tonight. When did they get so expensive? Two [...]

Mini quilt

Yay, I can post this! Karen receieved her quilt today. I had forgotten to take a picture, so I’m “borrowing” hers.

Yet another pair for the closet shelf!

Those are The Best Fencing Shoes Ever. They are the asymmetrical fencing shoes made by Adidas…”made” being in the past tense. They were discontinued after only two years of production, and have become a rarity to find used or new. The shoe on the left is for the front foot (my left [...]

Alzheimer’s Day – Make a Virtual Quilt Patch

Ami Simms posted this on her blog: “This Sunday, September 21, 2008, is World Alzheimer’s Day. It is a day to remember the 26.6 million people worldwide who have this vile disease that will eventually rob them of the ability to remember and to reason. It will take from them every skill they ever [...]

DOH!

I got to the guild meeting tonight, only to discover that I had brought my embroidery…but not the floss. I came home to finding it sitting on the kitchen table. That’s what I get for missing my alarm and scrambling this morning. *sigh*

Sunflower Quilt

Yay, I can finally post this! I made a mini quilt for Toni, as life has thrown her a few curveballs lately. I used this block for a birthday block swap, and I knew she’d like it…but in a mini quilt form! She called me today to say that it [...]

Cookies & Cream top…done! (FINALLY)

I can finally post something! I finally finished the top that is for the quilt for my brother-in-law and his soon-to-be wife’s wedding present. It’s the biggest top I’ve made so far – 88″ x 88″ – and in the pictures is shown on our king-sized bed. Eek! Fortunately, I get [...]

Random people

So I’ve been working on my coffee quilt on the bus going to work in the mornings, as well as in the coffeeshop area AT work for about 45 minutes before I have to be at work. This gives me time to wake my brain up and lets spend a little time every working [...]
