Ana is the daughter of a friend of a friend. She was born at 27 weeks, and was doing quite well with a strong heart and lungs and no known brain damage, but now she got necrotizing enterocolitis. Basically, her immune and digestive systems were so weak that any and all bacteria in her food [...]

I can’t remember the name of this rose. I swam for 27 minutes this morning. It would have been longer, but Pulguito woke up before I left, so I spent about 10 minutes nursing him.

Fair Bianca has beautiful blooms, but it’s prone to disease and very spindly. I decided to chuck the pucker knit fabric that I was working with. I did a test dart on a scrap, and it didn’t work. That fabric requires pattern with no darts.

I swam for 44 minutes today. I wanted to swim longer, but Yuki got out, and I didn’t want to make her wait for me. We go to the pool together.

Angel Face is a lovely rose. It does very well in Sunset zone 14. Quite a few of my roses suffer from the dessicating furnace blast that we call sunshine. They wilt, they get sun burn, or they look tired, but not Angel Face. Angel Face has no problems with pests or disease. We had [...]

This is Abraham Darby, an English rose by David Austin. It’s my favorite rose. It blooms prolifically almost all year round (zone Sunset 14), the flowers are beautiful, and the scent is luscious. It’s habit isn’t great, being rather gangly or brambly. I went to group. I had a binge last night, and I got [...]

These tulips are from about 2 weeks ago, another picture that I forgot about in my broken camera. The Canon really does take better pictures than DH’s loner. If I remember, I’ll post the brand, but I don’t remember. Am I funny or what? Yeah, that or what, right? I actually got my lazy ass [...]

Hee, hee.

That’s the fabric that I’m using for Neue Mode M23061. I marked the dart ends and points, I pinned one to get it ready for sewing, and I’m just not sure this is going to work. Because of the pucker part of the pucker knit, if you move away from the ruching/pucker, you get a [...]

Pictures soon. I had to take my camera back to Good Guys, and they sent it in, somewhere, to be fixed. It’s a good thing that DH bought the extended warrenty.
