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...

Fell Off the Wagon

I did cut up that plastic dollar tote to make into something stronger, but got caught up with work and set it aside. Then last night some hand-dyed silk and pretty threads called my name, and, well . . . Felt SO good to do some handwork, except my neck began hurting about an hour into it. I tried changing the way I sit and work, but it's pretty obvious that the doc is right.

T-minus Day

This was our little Thanksgiving dinner last year, when it was just the three of us. Time keeps whittling down my favorite holiday; this year it will be just me and my guy, and we likely won't even have a turkey.* That will be a first in 35 years. I feel about Thanksgiving the way other people do about Christmas, and while it's a lot of work it's my favorite holiday. Of all the Thanksgivings I've had in the past sixty years, only three were truly terrible: one when I was a kid that I don't talk about (#1 most miserable); the time I roasted two turkeys together and hosted fifteen people whom I cooked for and served with zero help (the largest and #2 most miserable); and the one I spent in basic training (the #3 most miserable.) I have no pictures of any of those, thank heavens. In addition to doing all the cooking I'm the one who takes all the pictures, washes all the dishes and puts away all the leftovers. I suppose no one else cares because to them it...
