family
christmastime was here.
but, you probably already knew that. rewind to sunday. actually saturday night. our church had “family services” all weekend. where the kids get to come in and distract everyone around them and our pastor just talks a lot louder and it’s cute and fun and christmassy and all that. :). anyhoooooo. we went to that.

dear jiji, i tried really hard to get this finished up and in the mail to you for your christmas present (technically from derek) this year. i didn’t make it. so, i’ll send it back with mom when she comes down to visit. i tried to use your boring colors and i hope you like […]
lidbom family christmas.
we had our christmas with derek’s family on sunday. his sister’s family spends christmas with the dad’s family, so the best day to get together was nine days before christmas. although, i’m not complaining. i kind of like spreading out the toy influx. the grownups sat at a fancy pants table with fine china. the […]
a zipper pouch christmas.
i made a zipper pouch for derek’s mom for christmas. we exchanged gifts with his family earlier today. so, now i can post pics here. without further ado: found the totally perfect chick text print while in the mountains last weekend. didn’t notice until i started working on the pouch that the fabric also had […]
birthdays and thanksgivings, etcetera.

another western ny trip series.
part 2.
on monday, my family returned to their respective jobs and schooling, leaving us to our own devices. so, naturally, our first stop was olivers candy. so. much. sugar. the kids saw this dog and instinctively stopped to pose for a photo with it. they’re well trained. or brainwashed. whatever. outside, we took some photos along […]

the not-so-top-secret-anymore christmas quilt
awhile back, i made this quilt for my uncle for christmas. i couldn’t post it at the time, because i think he reads my blog, so i only posted it on flickr. last year, i was chatting with him and he said, “make me a charlie brown quilt” (in mostly those words). i wasn’t sure […]
