Pacific Northwest travels and other stuff and things

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks!  I’ve taken several overnight trips for various purposes, to places as exciting as Seattle and as boring as Salem.  I went up north to Washington with my buddies Star, Vivian, and Marcia, for the purpose of going to Madrona fiber arts retreat in Tacoma, but I think hangingContinue reading “Pacific Northwest travels and other stuff and things”

Happy 2012! Here’s what’s up in leethal land…

How’s your 2012 going so far?  Mine is off to a slooooow start, but I feel like it’s just about to start taking off!  I wanted to jump in here after my long delay with kind of a catch-up post, with some stuff I’ve been up to so far this year, and random bits andContinue reading “Happy 2012!

What’s to come and some random bits…

Hope you are having a good holiday-ish week!  I am hanging at my parents’ house in Orange County for a couple weeks, hoping to get tons of knitting and ebook photo editing done, between silly times with my brothers and California adventures with my parents…  Just wanted to kind of check in here since notContinue reading “What’s to come and some random bits…”

Oops, belated Halloween post…

Did you have a good Halloween?! I did!! My buddies and I didn’t have a plan till the last minute, but then it came together awesomely!  I was Andy Warhol, Pete was Banksy… …and Star was Frida Kahlo: I took Polaroids and drew sketches of people all night… …at dinner and at the taphouse where weContinue reading “Oops, belated Halloween post…”

Trunk show this week, and lots of buttons!

New free pattern – Cassady! (plus trivia!)

What a week it’s been!  My blog was down for most of yesterday and the first half of today, for some unknown reason, but it’s back now so that’s great!  I hosted trivia night for my first time last night and it went really well!!  I had so much fun designing all my categories andContinue reading “New free pattern – Cassady!
