  • Cake It To The Limit

    Cake It To The Limit – An ambitious project to make every cake in the Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book. The Snook is going to love this…

    Yeah. Feeling pretty good about my decision to delete “Draw Something” from my iPhone: http://t.co/hPU0KuE7


    @DomesticJules It’s not a virus. The company sold out to assholes and the CEO publicly insulted the one dev who turned them down.


    @gilmae On Reddit a few folks said “Depict” was a good Pictionary app. Going to check it out…


    Just bought Connectrode to support the dev that didn’t go to Zynga. Fun game, and the dedication to his wife is sweet. http://t.co/KE5V0hNK


    @drkknits Is she an anti-buntite?

    @drkknits Watch it! Somebody will print your tweets out and stick them her letterbox. (Or maybe @witty_knitter’s. They get confused.) 🙂


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Remember? Somebody printed out some Rav comments of yours? And there was a letterbox and me involved?


    @witty_knitter You’ve forgotten! UOTO. July 2009. Somebody put your Rav comments in CM’s letterbox attributed to me.


    @witty_knitter I forwarded the old email to you. It’s a hoot.


    @witty_knitter You were definitely on the email thread and even replied. You’ve just forgotten. Email will jog your memory.


    @witty_knitter I’m afraid it did rather ruin my joke though. 😛

    @drkknits Did you click it? That’s the joke. 🙂


    It’s Monday night, it’s dark, and I’d KILL for a glass of wine. Or three.


    @merrinmez I am! But I’m off the sauce this month. Health kick. 🙂

    @drkknits Ha, go for it. 🙂


    I sewed myself a new shirt today! #crafty http://t.co/2i9QNORp


    @rachievaichie It’s the Colette Sorbetto. Free PDF online! Just google it. I added sleeves and left out pleat.


    @rachievaichie Eh, it’s a bit smock-y. I have broad shoulders. But I’ve never made tops, so it was good practice!


    @codepo8 You mock, but sadly even I would’ve hyperventilated over that as a kid.

    Edited to add: This is the Colette Sorbetto, a free PDF pattern. I modified it by leaving off the front pleat and adding some sleeves. The fabric is a Liberty Tana Lawn I bought last year. I’m still learning, so simple tops like this give me plenty of practice. I think this one will get some wear!

  • Earn Your Stripes Quilt Blocks

    Quilting took a back seat for a few weeks as I frantically finished all my Easter Show projects. Finally today I got a chance to put together the March MetaQuilter blocks. Amelia was the designer this month, and her quilt is the Earn Your Stripes quilt from Block Party: The Modern Quilting Bee. These were fairly free form, and I had fun playing with the beautiful fabrics she sent. I’ll be posting these off tomorrow…
