My Sewing Room

Or maybe I should say, my sewing patio. Yes, currently the patio is the only place I have to put all of my craft items. And it is overflowing! As you can see in the picture, I have everything in kitchen bags and bins, hoping that it does not get too dirty. Hmmmm, maybe I should stop buying new craft supplies and use up what I have. What do you think?

Kendi's Blankies

This shouldn't come as too much of a suprise to anyone, but I have made quite a few blankies for Kendi. I actually have a couple more that I still have to finish. . . but I have managed to lose them in my piles of crafts supplies (maybe a good indication that I have too many???). The first one is a classic rag quilt. I have made literally about a hundred of these. As a matter of fact, most of you

Wot are you doing?

July 6thI'm sitting in my dorm room in Way the Frak East London on a cool breezy sunless Sunday with Iron Maiden at the Forum, 19/02/08, blasting from my MacBook. My shoes are off, of course, and my toes are in charge of rocking me gently back and forth in my chair as I peruse the pages of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential". The only light gracing the pages is what little precious

Don't Waste Your Time Searching for Those Wasted Years

OK - I'm obsessed. Two of my mates have used the word "stalker". I still contend that five Maiden shows in 5 months, with 3 of them coming within four days of each other, and the 5th only two weeks later in another country is NOT anything special. As a matter of fact, I lag way behind most 28 year Maiden fans. Yes, I've been listening to them nearly thirty years and I've not even seen them live

July 4th Part Two

I realized: I DONT HAVE A SHARPIE ON ME!!! Not that this is important in the grand scheme of things. It's just that I normally have a Sharpie at the ready. Just in case.Oyster Cards are lovely things. They cap at L6.50 or so if you are running around all day. This is a good thing as that's cheaper than a day pass of L6.80. Met up with D at the Tower of London. Someone on the IMOFC boards "

Vintage Chenille Quilt

Ta-da! I accomplished a project while being 9 months pregnant and with a broken elbow! A quilt made from vintage chenille bedspreads. I love how these turn out-- so soft and cuddly!

Leicester Square July 4

Oi - Vey!!! I got "kicked out" off my room at 10am. I can't check back into the other room until 1400. Funny enough, the room is only next door! Gotta love it. So I headed into the city, as Queen Mary College is way East end (how funny! but no Albert Square nearby) to find the infamous London Free Wi-Fi! I headed to Leicester Square stop on the tube, but couldn't get my bearings. I think A's bad
