Amy Butler quilting fabric made into skirt I just love that skirt. It’s Amy Butler fabric, and I forget the pattern. It was modeled at the March ASG meeting in Walnut Creek. I think I could copy this using Kwik Sew 3109. I love the idea of mixing fabrics in a garment, but I’m leary [...]

It figures. Jennifer wraps. You wouldn’t think that eight letters would be a lot for a first name, but I’ve not had enough space in several forms to put my entire name. It’s very strange considering that Jennifer was the number one name for over 30 years.

It seems like I spend all day Tuesday working on the eating disorder. My group therapy is in Walnut Creek, so it’s a bit of a drive, takes about 45 minutes. The meeting is at 10:15 am, very inconvient for us working folks. It ends at noon. Parking is always an issue. Between getting the [...]

I just love Tania’s art. The sky is a beautiful, clear blue with no clouds in sight today, but this captured yesterday’s weather and my feelings very well.

Peony View 1 Peony View 2 This is the Peony Vest by Diane Ericson from this month’s ASG presentation by Jane Foster. I haven’t been enamoured of this pattern, but it looked really great on this sewist. I can’t say that I care for the ones in the Peony Gallery at DE’s website. I’m still [...]

Yellow Rose This is a very old rose that came with our house. It wasn’t in very good condition when we bought the house. The people who lived there just didn’t know how to take care of roses. It needed severe, yet thoughtful, pruning. So I whacked it back. And it rewarded me by blooming [...]

Pear Pulguito’s pear tree is covered with blooms. Last year, we only had a few blooms which resulted in about 6 pears. I’m thinking that I’m going to have to thin the fruit this year. The pears are very good. They are about the size of a large plum. Pulguito loves them; he eats the [...]

Love that Freesia I think this is the last picture of the freesia. It’s been raining a lot for here, and the freesia that’s left has been flattened. I’m feeling better, but I’m still coughing a lot, I’m tired, and my head hurts. My husband slept in the living room and had me close my [...]

Cyclamen The instructions for the Ottobre jeans are minimal. I had to dig out a Kwik Sew pattern for their instructions. I haven’t done enough fly zippers to be able to wing it. I started writing in my food journal again. I had a good visit with the shrink. I don’t think I need to [...]

Iris & Sparaxia Originally uploaded by neefer. I’m feeling a little better today. I went to my ED group. Nothing much happened. We reported on our progress. It had been 2 weeks, and it seems that a lot of us stopped writing in our food journals.
