So, you can all hate me now, but I’ve never seen the movie “Groundhog Day.” I did start watching it once many years ago but, everyone knows movie-watching is nowhere near my favorite pastime and when he dropped the toaster in the bathtub I was like, “Yeah, I’m not into this” so I shut theContinueContinue reading “Fabric-store fix to ease the winter pain”

Winter/projects/my mom
My camera has been accumulating photos of my mother. This is mostly because in the winter I’m driven more indoors due to snow/cold/ice/my inability to generate body heat and more time indoors = more time for projects! The list is in: My sister and I ordered Triathlon-friendly suits yesterday. After the mere second swimming classContinueContinue reading “Winter/projects/my mom”
Ginger Rogers, trips to the fabric store, and dress-dreams
I just got back from my New Year’s Retreat. And it was so good. So much good. So much that I wanted even more–more holy chats and more laughter and more sweet, silent prayers with my most loved Jesus who pours love and grace into my heart nonstop. You would think I would start typingContinueContinue reading “Ginger Rogers, trips to the fabric store, and dress-dreams”
Crinoline update
I owed you this on Monday. I know, I know. Here is where I was Friday morning: Here is where I was Friday evening: SUCCESS. Shout out to the generous and fun-loving Sugardale for the crinoline pattern. It was fun and full of helpful ideas and truly a work of love/ art. (Although, love, youContinueContinue reading “Crinoline update”
Friday! Friday!
Have ya missed my smiling face? I have news! It looked like a lot of people were reading my “About” page, so I decided to add another one. The second one is added to give more info about my life since (maybe?) in the past year my readership has expanded (beyond my mom). Read it.ContinueContinue reading “Friday! Friday!”
Lists on lists of girlie talk
It’s likely I’m starved for some girlfriend time. These are the things swirling in my system that need to get out: MY HEART IS WRENCHED BECAUSE I TOOK OUT MY CARTILAGE RING AND NOW I CAN’T GET IT BACK IN. Only out for 24 hours and it’s swollen shut. This wrenches my heart because IContinueContinue reading “Lists on lists of girlie talk”
Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER
Hi. Where have I been??? Mostly: crazy. 🙂 Count-down to Spain: 8 days. Woot. Anyway, I had a baby shower last weekend. Now, baby showers are finicky business. I like to bring useful, cute things…but it’s hard to know what to bring. Here’s what I did for this one: hats, baby hats. That and IContinueContinue reading “Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER”
Personal challenge: can I make a skirt IN ONE DAY?
Probably you’re like, “ALL YOU EVER DO THESE DAYS IS TALK ABOUT THE CAMINO.” But I’m like, “IT’S TAKING UP A LOT OF TIME IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.” We can talk all-caps. We’re friends. Anyway, it’s not my whole life, but it is a good percentage at this stage of the game. Some ofContinueContinue reading “Personal challenge: can I make a skirt IN ONE DAY?”
May Crafting Challenge!
Way back in middle school I knew a dude named “Gabe,” and he signed up for the Crafting Challenge! (For May. I did complete this in May, by the way…just didn’t post until now). Now, I don’t really see Gabe around all that often…but I did run into him at the family’s Snowball in JanuaryContinueContinue reading “May Crafting Challenge!”
Ruffled sleeves and other matters.
First of all: it needs to be known that I have worn the same sweater five days this week. Colleen gave it to me on Saturday, and I have worn it unabashedly. Amen. Also! GUYS IT’S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. Spring things everywhere! Flowers! Warm weather! Because of the wonder of Spring lured us out-of-doors, IContinueContinue reading “Ruffled sleeves and other matters.”
