New quilt is coming along

New quilt is coming along

Squares have been trimmed: And arranged one way: And then another: Trimming wasn’t planned, but a few squares turned out smaller than the others. Reason? Well, this quilt is made of all repurposed vintage linens which are almost always a blend. In my experience, they do not always like ironing. I do have my iron [...]

I love hiking in CA in fall and winter or I burned 39 calories or I am feelin the burn

Some time ago I started hiking weekly, by myself, in the morning after I dropped Luka off to school. It was convenient because Luka’s school is close to many hikes. But then it became too hot which I really don’t like and I stopped, planning to pick it back up in the fall. But then [...]

New quilt sneak

New quilt sneak

Just a quick sneak… I just finished cutting those. Still missing white strips and squares.

Oh, no! I’m hooked

Oh, no! I’m hooked

I upgraded. That’s my old phone silly. The one taking the picture! Wasn’t planned. For the longest time I resisted. I don’t really talk on the phone. Just not me. I text occasionally. I guess i’m not a social type. Also, i am not “on the go”, I can check my email on my computer. [...]

Thursday lunch with TED:: high tech art (with a sense of humor)

Don’t you love TED? I do. So every Thursday I am going on a lunch date with TED. Here is what was said today…

Google Reader has a condition?

Sorry, an unexpected condition has occurred which is preventing Google Reader from fulfilling the request.   So now we are calling it a condition? Seriously?

New pillow…

New pillow…

It has been sitting on my desk waiting… first for backing (I ended piecing some leftovers because I was lazy to go shopping for more fabrics)… then for a pillow insert (it measures just a bit bigger than another pillow I made but the insert was just too small; couldn’t figure that one out). Finally… [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
