two years after leaving the greater winston-salem metropolitan region for the rocky mountains of colorado, our friends, the raperts made a triumphant return. except that it was only a two week visit, and not a forever stay. so, we hung out a few times and the kids played like old times and all was well… […]

Baby Deaton’s Pirate Quilt
On Monday, I acquired some fabric from my friend Amanda who is about ready to pop with her second baby, but first boy. I raced home and made a plan to do some scrappy wonky stars. I threw on some of my scraps (yay! I’ve finally arrived! I have scraps!) and got going. By the […]

pontillo’s friends.
yesterday morning in batavia was a little crazy, after finding out the news about my uncle ray. we went to julie redband/varland’s house to play with her isaac (her anna is in school). then, anna took the world’s longest nap. and then we went to the old pontillo’s (now “batavia’s original”) for 25 cent wings […]
