On year later:

Same baby, same car-seat, same pose, one year apart. On 7-13-13, we got to bring young Joseph home. The photo on the left was from his “car-seat-challenge” at the NICU, to make sure that his heart rate or breathing wouldn’t be hampered by being positioned in the car-seat. The photo on the right was from […]

Complete with bat, of course. Here is my new sewing room. Is it not glorious? Let us revel in the glory. Rev-rev-rev-rev-revel. Aaaah! It is also where my computer and excessive collection of shitty romance novels live. For if-and-when I re-acquire the free time to re-start my shitty romance novel review blog. Right now, I […]

Vurt!

A few years ago, I picked up a couple of yards of this crazy printed cotton jersey and made myself a dress: There it is on the dressmaker’s dummy. And here it is, on the dressmaker. I was rummaging through my scrap bag the other day looking for a piece of red corduroy I needed […]

I did a light refurb on an old woodstove this past autumn. The stove, in fact, is now situated in my living room, though is not yet hooked up, as we’ll need to line the chimney first which is likely to be a fairly expensive undertaking. This stove is an Danish contraption from the 1970s, […]

Well, hell. I’m getting that mid-winter hairdo restlessness once again. Right now, my hair is just about jaw length. Basically, it is like this, but with bangs, and brown instead of red. This is an old picture, but I can’t be bothered to take a new one, so imagination will have to suffice. I am […]

Well, I completely forgot about logging in and posting anything yesterday. Pretty much this is what the bulk of my day consisted of. Pressure-cooking beans. Then Joel and I went out to dinner, came back home, and watched Smokey And The Bandit, which Joel had borrowed from the library. Today, I began the annual holiday […]
