as per our usual, we hosted a bit of a fourth of july get together for some of our pals, before the fireworks lit up our little town… martha and bud (sam, jr.)… sam, sr. is in the armed forces and is currently overseas. so, really, this party was for him. 🙂 the slip ‘n […]
two tops.
i have finished two quilt tops in two days. crazy. i was waiting on gray fabric to finish my granny square top, so i started working on a pave the way quilt kit that i’d picked up at karen gray design before it became little general design. then, the gray came, and i was able […]
soul blossom quilt. done. :)
last JULY, i strolled into karen gray’s (now the little general) looking for some inspiration for my next quilt. i wanted to make a king quilt for our bedroom. even though i had no kids with me, i still made an impulse purchase of a fat quarter bundle of amy butler’s soul blossom line. 33 […]
beach miscellany.
i have one last group of pictures that i haven’t been able to categorize into their own posts. pics from around the condo, and then some various activities. playing with isaac’s shell (or shards of shell) collection, while he’s gone. hanging out, early in the morning, watching tv. playing with yo gabba gabba friends. (anna […]
doll quilt swap…
despite having the kids home everyday, all day, i have found a few moments here and there to sew just a little bit. our quilt guild had a doll quilt swap (although i prefer mini quilt, since doll quilt makes us sound like weird old women who play with dolls), and i managed to finish […]

even though the sun came out, it was still a bit chilly and the beach was a bit soggy. plus, ike had been begging us to go ride the rides at this little mini carnival that runs from memorial day to labor day where main street hits the beach. this ferris wheel seemed to be […]
alligator mania. and other rainy day activities.
on one of the rainy days, we drove to myrtle beach (we were technically in north myrtle), and tried to go to a children’s museum, since we have the reciprocal (free) membership. apparently a lot of other folks had this idea too and there was a 30 minute wait because they were at capacity. and […]
meeting myrtle beach.
if you are my facebook friend, then you are no doubt aware that we’ve been at the beach for the last week. just in case you’re not, i’ll be posting some pics and stories here. 🙂 on sunday, we woke up. loaded up. and hit the road for myrtle beach. the ride seemed incredibly long. […]
index card a day… 2.
saw this on my friend paige’s blog and decided to join in the fun. the idea is that you make an index card every day for the months of june and july. whatever you want. drawings, paintings, stitchings, stickers, lists, notes, etc. and then you post them on flickr (or instagram or your blog or […]
