Randomly

I've been offline tending to family matters instead of writing up content for the blog, and realized I've run out of pre-written posts. Nothing earth-shaking happening here, and I'm still working on reading the same book, so today we'll do a random show and tell.

First up, the set of baby stuff for Oliver when he eats at our house. I ordered this because it's super easy to clean, and now his mom won't have to haul her set over when they visit:

Next up, Katherine's Mother's Day gift to me -- a bouquet that will never die. She hand cut all these tiny paper flowers and did the adorable lettering:

So talented, my kid. Finally, the sewing table after my mask making weekend, which proves that like most sewers I am a total slob when I'm working:

I'm going to tidy up in there tomorrow. Today was sweeping/mopping all the tile floors day. Now I have to start thinking about what to make for dinner. Probably something light.

What's up with you? Let us know in comments.

Cute baby set, and that bouquet is wonderful! What a great idea. I got one from Thing 2 and her hubs. I set it on the side table next to the chair and the first thing that happened was that the cat found it and started chewing on it. So it's on my mantle. :/

Nothing new here. I think last night was the last night I'll have to cover my plants. I only have one that really needs it. It shot up this year in a hurry, but I'm afraid I was too late because I missed the first night. It's an Allium siculum Ucria. Honey Garlic and it's beautiful when it blooms. Very unique. But it's usually not three feet tall yet. Other than that, I'm just waiting for it to warm up a tad so I can go out and work in the yard. It's finally supposed to warm up this next week. I hope so. This sitting in the house stuff is for the birds! :)

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...
