There have been a rash of new babies born among our circle of friends over the past week. We plan to bring them meals. But first, I made them welcome home fudge using the Nestle recipe, but adding toasted hazelnuts. Oooh my! I broke down and sampled one of the dishes, today, as I wasn’t […]
This is really about Me and micro-Doug, but I can humor myself. As I mentioned earlier, Sylvie’s nanny is ill, so she’s been hanging out with me the past two days. Yesterday she came to the office where she had a great time drawing on the white boards and climbing up and down our step […]
I’m not sure if I’ll always be a week behind in updating the blog on my latest knitting, but here’s the knit from 2 weeks ago, a scarf for Will. (The Tahoe knit was another sweater for Sylvie, but isn’t captured in pixels, yet)
I was just invited to join Spoonflower, a service for designing and printing your own small batches of fabric. The service is in Beta right now and invite only, but seems very promising. Here is the flickr group of fabrics designed and printed through Spoonflower and projects people have made with those
I’m having trouble concentrating, today, as I want to post these few things before I forget about them. One is a baby sweater that I have been wanting to knit, but resized for Mama! Instructions and great pictures are at FlintKnits. Another is just so sad to me – a new fabric store in San […]

There are some interesting things at Anthropologiethese days. Here are a few I like:
On a happier note, I also found a recipe for chocolate ice cream at have cake, will travel that sounds wonderful! And have I told you about ravelry? It is an opensource knitting community. Very akin to my favorite sewing site burdastyle. There are quite a few pieces from both sites that I want to […]
I’ve made a kazillion curtains in my short life – short ones, long ones, roman shades, shower curtains… The roman shades and cafe curtains are quite manageable as everyone has enough uncluttered space to lay out either of those. The long curtains are troublesome. Not my favorite. And I volunteered to make 14 panels of […]
It was like Christmas, today. We mailed our custom shirts to cousins far and more far, and then arrived home to find two gigantic boxes (“ship sized” according to Will). Will and I eagerly unpacked the first, a box from Zappos full of shoes for everyone but Doug. Will got new field cleats for soccer. […]
