So I’ve been thinking about doing something. Writing something that is. Something that I don’t sit down and bang out on the fly. Something that is well thought out and coherent. Something that requires planning. Planning… right. So all I have to do is organize my thoughts a little. Maybe on a piece of paper with a pen. I’ve been thinking about it for about three days now and have yet to make a move. Par for the course I guess. Read the rest of this entry »

Thinking But Not Doing

Two Parties
Two cakes, two outfit changes, two, maybe three goodie bags. The weekend of many parties. So many parties that I could hardly keep it all straight and almost showed up two hours early for one. Whoops.
I have plenty of things on my to do list but I’m recovering tonight from all the time I spent in the last few days cutting felt into tiny pieces. Today’s birthdays were for two of Chase’s very special friends so we made some very special gifts. Chase even helped me do some sewing on the machine.
The thing about making surprises is the waiting. As soon as I pull stuff off the machine I want to run right out and give it to the intended recipient. Sometimes before I even cut off the threads and finish up properly. These two projects didn’t involve too much sewing but I did kill an entire bottle of fabric glue.

I Won’t Mention It Again
Two hours ago I was bone tired and ready to pack it in. Instead of going to bed I stayed up late to eat cake and figured I’d pop in here for a minute. I promise this is the last batch of tie dye. They’re a gift for a new wee little babe that’s on the way. Read the rest of this entry »

The End Of Ugly Gliders
So Erin totally called me out on my empty promise to write up a tutorial for how to recover the cushions on a glider. I kind of do that all the time. But, I’m officially taking a break from my tie dye to write this. Read the rest of this entry »

Still Dyeing
I may or may not be totally addicted to dyeing fabric. I may or may not have made more shirts today. I had to work out some patterns I thought I could get a handle on and although it didn’t work out exactly as I planned it was still fun. Read the rest of this entry »

I Dye
…you dye, we all dye for tie dye? Too corny? Sorry. So this was our experiment today. I flat out stole the idea for this project from my neighbor BUT desperate times call for desperate measures. Read the rest of this entry »

Rocker Restyle
I finally finished this project. You probably have one of these guys at home It’s a great chair, probably relatively inexpensive and quite sturdy. The problem with these guys is that they come in four shades of hideous. Functional but a little too brown and scratchy. Read the rest of this entry »

Treats For Everybody
We spent all morning visiting a preschool that we’re considering for next year. Chase had a great time which, I suppose, is really what counts. I was thoroughly exhausted, she wanted to stay and play. After that we ran some errands Read the rest of this entry »

Homemade Valentines
I can’t even remember how many cupcakes I’ve consumed in the last 24 hours. Probably fewer than Chase but I know she’s got me on candy. She had candy this morning before she had Cheerios. I can remember my mother giving me little plastic hearts filled with Smarties for Valentine’s day. I wanted something similar for Chase but the closest I could find was a little heart tin filled with m & m’s. They taste nothing like Smarties but I think it’s probably the closest substitute. She was very pleased. Read the rest of this entry »

Still Here
And watching tv thank God. Which is to say we still have power. It flickered once earlier and I became so panicked that I actually felt my adrenaline surging. PBS is airing Faces of America tonight which I’ve been looking forward to watching for some time. It’s interesting and makes me really bitter than no one pays me to chronicle my work and travels around the world for television. Read the rest of this entry »
