and now, for my march wrap up. hazel continued her taekwondo journey. she loved it. and loved master c. as the weather got nicer, i began walking at the park more frequently. not sure why i felt the need to document this, but march pics are sort of lean so this is what my content […]

easter confections (and eggs).
easter was early this year. so all of the festivities took place in march. first up, i managed to snack the “sweet treat” check box for hazel’s spring fling class party. (those other moms are quick on the trigger, so it’s actually quite hard to get a spot, much less the coveted sweet treat spot). […]
a quilt for my college roomie
for the last 15-ish years, my college roommate and basketball teammate and her family have lived just down the road in greensboro. you would think this would mean we got together all the time, but alas, sadly, we didn’t make the most of this opportunity. then. her husband got his dream job, in nyc, and […]
the cakes of march.
i had a couple of cake orders in march. the first was a 70th birthday cake for my friend kim’s husband bill, who is an avid pickleballer. it was cookies and cream, which is one of my favorite recipes, and i basically stole the design from several cakes on instagram. the second cake was for […]
hanging rock kidnapping.
i’ll spare you a long commentary about this day. basically, anna had a sleepover with her friend. in the morning, i gave them the option of me taking the friend home and going hiking alone, or them both coming hiking with me and the friend going home later. they chose the hiking. or were coerced […]

western sky quilt
i really started off 2024 on a quilt making rampage. before i even finished the strawberry quilt, i was making plans for a western sky quilt. (pattern by plains and pines). i found an array of shot cottons in the perfect palette for my vision at a local shop and it was game on. this […]
elk knob with hiking heather.
for several months (i think), my hiking pal heather has been talking about trying a trail she heard about near boone called elk knob. i’m game for almost any hike, so when she offered to pick me up and chauffeur me to the trailhead, i was glad to oblige. we were a little surprised to […]
hanging rock hike & failed photoshoot.
somehow, on a slightly less cold february saturday, i talked anna into going on a hike with me. ruby requires no coercion, just a mention of a car ride and there’s no shaking her. we opted for moore’s knob, which is probably my favorite hike in the park at this point. we usually opt to […]
