My scrap bins are a bit out of control. One night I started cutting 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 rectangles from them. I had recently discovered, and quickly become addicted to Flickr, and upon seeing Hillary Lang’s Coin Quilt on Flickr I knew I wanted to do a similar simple design. I [...]

Tart To A Cupcake
Posted in Uncategorized on May 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I always was a tart girl. Now with a child on the scene, cupcakes are easier when two pairs of hands are involved.
I’ve been reminiscing of my mother making ice cream cone cupcakes for birthdays as Roan’s 4th Birthday approaches. With a BBQ tomorrow night promising many wee cupcake devotees I thought I [...]

I spent some time updating my Seattle Sling Lending Library Blog today and thought about this photo my folks had. Our family lived in Tokyo in the late 60’s, early 70″. The first is a photo of my mother carrying my brother Chris. The second is our housekeeper Suzie babywearing.

Isn’t he cute? I had been thinking about cinnamon and sugar toast for a bit and looking for the just right container. Found this little guy in a set intended for salt and pepper shakers. One for me and one a gift. Oh yeah, he came from Anthropologie.

Our Mayor, Greg Nickels has just launched a “drink up” campaign. Urging Seattleittes to stop buying bottled water. Apparently, 49% of the bottles end up in the landfills.
Granted, I recycle my water bottles, but it go me thinking… I love drinking from plastic bottles. Don’t know why. I know the the [...]
