Blossom time!

Posted in books, Family, videos on Apr 8th, 2009

I’ve been reading other people’s blogs in DC and Japan, especially, talking about cherry blossom viewing. It is that time of the year! Here in KC, we have a lot of trees blooming…mostly crabapple, redbud, and Bradford pear. I don’t know that there are any cherry trees to speak of, but there are plenty of [...]

The Three Stooges

Posted in Ruby the Dog on Apr 1st, 2009

Brown is my signature color!

Posted in Sewing on Apr 1st, 2009

New Brown Corduroy Jeans, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I needed the scrap fabric from these pants to make into hats, but in order to get the scrap fabric, I needed to cut out the pants first! After I cut them out, it seemed dumb to just shelve them, so I went ahead and made myself [...]
