Pablo and I were just gifted with two weeks with no small children. His parents took them on vacation. Our house was very quiet. Rooms we cleaned stayed clean. We ate entire meals at their intended temperatures. We went out. Together. To grown-up type places. My homework was done by five.
These two weeks emphasized how [...]

Travelling With Children

I tried to post this earlier this month and it created its own page instead of living contentedly with the rest of my posts. So now I’ve moved it back where it belongs.
My school is forty-five minutes away from my house. It is only 33 miles, but we do not live close to the highway, [...]
A Package!!

My Bend-the-Rules Sewing Swap package arrived on Thursday! I love the blues and greens in these placemats. They look very cheerful with my dishes. (I’m all about cheerful eating!) Thanks so much to Heide over at Chez Zero for the treats!
Just When I Needed It Most

In chemistry lab, we listen to the university station. The music is all picked by the (student) djs- there’s no set genre, but during lab its mostly classic rock, maybe on the harder side. Today there was a song on that reminded me so much of a particular ex-boyfriend. He’s been on my mind a [...]

I haven’t learned how to post pictures on wordpress yet, so please bear with the linkage!
Here are some pictures of the placemats and napkins I made for the Bend-the-Rules Sewing Swap. When I make this pattern again, I think I will use a much smaller inset for the front panel. It just came out too [...]
New Year’s In July

So far my resolutions this year are going well. Sometimes I think I get pretty pretentious sounding when making them, but they do help me focus my intentions so I guess that’s all right. There is something about writing them down and now actually posting them in a public place that encourages me to work [...]
Checking Things Off

Checked off my “To Do” list today – take genetics final, mail swap package, return very overdue inter-library loan book. Also, eat yummy fried chicken dinner with onion rings and gluten-free beer. (There was no green vegetable – the kids are on vacation.)
It was a good, busy day. Tomorrow I go back to quant class. [...]

I’ve been working on my Bend The Rules Sewing Swap project! It should be done in time to go out the door tomorrow. My desk is covered in threads! This project has been a lot of fun and I hope my partner likes them. My sister remarked that they could always be regifted. Some help [...]
