bathroom update

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

The bathroom’s nearly finished and it’s time for me to start decorating. I had a lot of fun designing the bathroom. I gathered design inspiration from a number of places, but the main starting place was an IKEA hack I saw at Modern in MN. Modern in MN is a fabulous blog - [...]

Featherstitch Fantail! Bead Style!

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I just discovered that I was a winner of the Featherstitch Fantail giveaway. 
I rarely enter giveaways, but I couldn’t resist this one.   The composition of these little birds, the beautiful colors, and the careful embroidery…well, you should see them for yourself. 

Bridget Farmer, the creator of these beauties, is extremely talented.   She blogs about her creative process [...]

Farm share, week one

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

In response to Kate’s post about her Tantre Farm share, I’ve decided to take pictures of our weekly shares.  Well, I took pictures of our first week’s share.  I’m not sure whether I’ll have the energy to keep this up (I may need it to prep all of the delicious vegetables).
We split a farm share [...]

We’ve returned from a fabulous vacation in beautiful Scotland. Things have been very slow around here due to illness - we had to take Keith to the doctor last Monday to make sure he didn’t have the H1N1 flu - he’s been very sick all week. [...]

cold virus (completed!)

Originally uploaded by distracted muse

This weekend I completed the embroidery on my cold virus and I found a place for it to live.
I went to the doctor for a visit on Friday and brought the cold virus with me so that I’d have something to do while I waited. My [...]

It’s Been a Long Time

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I’ve taken an extended hiatus from the blogging world to assess whether I want to continue the blog.  Valerie’s advice last month was to ease the pressure on myself and just write when I want to write. 
 
Bottom line:  I’ve been missing the blog.     
 
So… I think I’m back.  Less pressure, more ease…perfect advice for blog [...]
