i technically finished this a month or so ago, but somebody (me) has been unmotivated to take pictures and blog.
i made this duvet using one of amy butler’s free patterns. i think it turned out pretty well. it cost around $60-$70 for the front fabric, and i used the back of our old duvet for [...]
while mr. halloran was out skiing, i listened to stuff you should know (thanks, sister!), and i turned this:
into this:
all with my trusty pug by my side (angus sits behind me in our computer chair pretty much all the time when i’m in it).
today we’re off for a little grocery shopping at main market, a [...]
in summary, i spent the weekend taking care of business, such as washing/clipping/other maintenance of this little pug (aka stinky soph).
sewing a bunch of these little rosettes (which take for. ev. er. and make my hands hurt.)
and eating things like saltines with honey and peanut butter because mr. halloran is away and i don’t feel [...]
curious about my super secret project?
i bet you are.
i made my sister a little cozy for her new kindle, which arrived in her mailbox today.

i’m not going to lie, i’m pretty proud of it. and a little more than sad to see it go. i guess i’ll just have to make another for myself
so what has two thumbs and is pretty proud of herself for teaching herself to make a quilt? this lady! right here!
i’m home by myself this weekend (mr. halloran is in bend, or with the ski team), and i thought i would pass the time by making my first quilt. remember that sweet little pile [...]
So I have a dilemma.
Do I have the brown sugar pound cake cupcake with sparkly edible sprinkles (thanks Andrew!)?
Or the fresh-out-of-the-oven Cardamom Crumb Cake (thank you Toni for the cardamom!)?
Hm, I think both!
Today I finished a gift for one of my mom’s oldest friends who recently got re-married. What do you make for someone you [...]
