How Long Can You Wait to Have a Baby? – Jean Twenge – The Atlantic – Interesting reading. It seems the conventional wisdom that those of us on the wrong side of 35 might have a hard time of conceiving isn’t really true. (NO SUBTEXT HERE. I JUST THINK IT’S INTERESTING.)

MetaQuilter – Finished!
What a long, long eighteen months it’s been! Way back at the end of 2011 I signed up for a quilting group through MetaFilter. There were 16 of us in the “adventurous” group, and every month a different person would send out fabric and instructions for making a block. Of course a lot can happen over 16 months, and four of the people ended up dropping out. The pace started to slow towards the end as well, so I finished well after the scheduled end date (and I think I’m still the first one done). Ultimately I ended up making 12 blocks (counting my own) using a lot of different techniques! Check it out…
