Last Saturday, I met up with Michelle at the South Bay Quilt Guild show.  It’s always interesting to meet someone you only know through blogs and emails, but she’s a complete sweetie!  The show was sort of interesting – a lot of quilts that aren’t really my style, but no matter what fabrics and patterns [...]

My newest BFF Jacqueline came to visit late Saturday night.  She wasn’t my BFF on Saturday night…but Sunday morning, she was all about being my BFF.  I was greeted heartily in the morning: “Michelle!”  And then she points to the non-scaredy cat Sylvester: “Tat”  (and also “Titty” – which makes me giggle).
So where does a [...]

No, not what you think. 
Yesterday was not only my friend Miranda’s birthday (and also her twin sis Monica), but my friend Christina’s birthday (Christina of the Jason & Christina wedding guestbook quilt).
Christina wanted to go to Disneyland for her birthday, so Steve & I were happy to accompany her & Jason as the resident [...]

I should have known that something wacky would happen after I pontificated about the virtues of Disneyland…
On Wednesday, we went to Disneyland, as it was Kristina’s boyfriend Calvin’s birthday, so he could get in free.  I think that the birthday promotion thing is doing great things for boosting park attendance…which is sort of bad, I was [...]

Saturday was a complete lazy day, I gotta admit. Which is fine, I had a long week. I am now the queen of 1099 forms…or at least I was for 127 of them this week. What a pain! Coupled with a lot of month-end & year-end reporting we were wrapping up from December, I probably [...]

This is going to be my new project. And based on my past Mouse Adventure experiences, I bet I can compile photos from Disneyland to complete the whole calendar.

In between watching LOTR movies, I cut out the pieces for 2 new handbags:And since I wasn’t sure if I was ready to completely fuss with the expensive Belgium linen Winter Foxes fabric, I decided to make the butterflies my prototype bag using the Manhattan Handbag pattern I bought a few months ago and haven’t [...]

Today we spent all day @ Disney, doing a scavenger hunt called MouseAdventure. This is my 7th time participating (held 2x/year), and Steve’s 6th time. Steve missed the spring ‘08, he was in Denver for work (and don’t get me started on the spring…it sucked!). We originally were planning for 2 teams – Guys versus [...]

So Steve & I were thinking about going to Disneyland for a visit on Sunday, because we wanted to do a walk around the parks in preparation for MouseAdventure next Sunday. However, I happened to check the Disneyland park update on MousePlanet, and noticed this weekend is Bats Days. We happened to be [...]
