yesterday was isaac’s last day of school before christmas vacation. or i guess, “winter break”. anyhow, they had a gingerbread house making party and i got to go hang out with iike and 16 of his best buddies while they crammed as much candy onto a feeble graham cracker structure as they possibly could. rewind […]

zipper pouch swap.
just got home from our triad modern quilt guild christmas party. we had an ornament exchange and a zipper pouch swap. and lots of food and fun, of course. first, i drew kim (the incredible bag lady and amazing quilter) johnson… i was intimidated and at a loss for what to do. i knew she […]
owl friend.
on thursday, a friend came over so i could “help” her make a handmade owl for her niece. i ended up kind of taking over the project, mostly in the interest of time. but, here’s the final product… she loves orange, so we used my favorite fabric from field study. (and then i immediately went […]

kessler’s birthday cake
made this little cake for my buddy kessler who turns three today! kessler wanted a race car cake with “fire”. which obviously means, “a sweet flaming paint job” to a 3 year old. and like all of the other things (baby, 1st bday, baby bro) i’ve made for his family, the color scheme was green. […]
