twenty twelve review.
thought i would take a few minutes to look back at what went down in 2012, in terms of quilting and sewing and cakery. it’s always fun to see it all laid out in a nice little grid format. it makes me feel like i actually accomplished some things… anyhoooo… here’s the quilts. 1. Front […]
2013
i just went back and read my 2012 “resolutions”. like most people, i lasted a few solid months (weeks?) and then fell off the resolution wagon. i kept a few. we got rid of cable/direct tv, so i didn’t watch as much mindless tv. i never went back to twitter and i don’t miss it. […]

eggs!!!! (instagram style).
on wednesday, we were pleasantly surprised to find our first egg waiting for us in the nesting boxes. we’re pretty sure that chickensarahpowers (the rhode island red) is the proud mom. we weren’t really sure when to expect eggs because we’ve heard different things about how the cold of winter affects their egg production and […]
