Stories from someone just fumbling through
I thoroughly enjoy making quilts out of t-shirts. I would like to submit Exhibit A, B, and C into evidence: And although t-shirt quilt making is totally awesome, it generates a lot of waste. If you're like me, you feel bad throwing out all that good fabric so you hoard it. You hoard it to… Continue reading The T-shirt Rug
My brother has been showing me no mercy in the book department. This past August he gave me about ten more to read and he calls me every week to see how far I've gotten. Geesh! He's a machine, I'm not. I have zero chance of matching his literary prowess, which means I will never… Continue reading I ♥ Fantasy
I had to share these photos. My sweet angel will eat anything and everything. Yes, even soap. At least her breath will be fresh for once!
I wanted to share with you some photos of where I live. In January of 2008, I was offered a dream job (turtle biologist!) in the Hudson Valley with the stipulation that I would start almost immediately. This was particularly challenging since I lived almost four hours away, I didn't know the area very well,… Continue reading A Hudson Valley Hamlet: Connelly, New York
This weekend = me, you, and some large, tasty, juicy, ripe, delicious, scrumtrulecent tomatoes. Maybe we could wear matching tomato costumes and lose ourselves in the moment? Perhaps do some juggling? Let's do it! I know you want to. The Saugerties Farmers Market is hosting their annual tomato taste-off. Awesome prizes will be given for… Continue reading A ripe weekend ahead
http://youtu.be/Y001O8Azj1U Today I engaged in some soap photography (aka soapy porn) for my Etsy shop and I couldn't help but chuckle at how humorously absurd I am sometimes. Here I am, freshly moved into my new apartment, the neighbors don't know who the heck I am and I'm on my porch wearing Mrs. Roper's muumuu… Continue reading Where is my mind?
I will be at the Saugerties Farmers Market tomorrow for your shopping pleasure, from 10 am to 2 pm. My usual sales will be in full effect. In the meantime, enjoy some photos from last week's Farm Animal Day. What a blast! The event was not short on humorously incongruous moments. For example, there was… Continue reading More market action to be had.
The reason why I practice reiki is kind of an interesting story that I thought I would share with you today. I realize that it may open me up to some public ridicule but what the heck! It's good for me. Why today? Well who knows. I woke up in a sharing mood I suppose… Continue reading Why reiki?
I make it a point to check my spam folder on a semi-regular basis because I know even the good stuff occasionally ends up in that black hole of crap. Well during my scan-o-spam today I came across an email with "quilt" as the subject line. So either the spammers finally figured me out or… Continue reading A philosophical look at teaching
I just wanted to share some photos of my recent kayak trip to the beautiful Saugerties Lighthouse. The lighthouse, located at the confluence where the Esopus Creek meets the Hudson River, was built in 1869 and, like all other lighthouses, has seen its fair share of historical ups and downs. Currently it's owned by a… Continue reading A Hudson Valley Kayak Trip: The Saugerties Lighthouse
