When I am done-completely done including binding-both of my parent’s quilts, I’m going to move on and start one for Shannon and I. It hadn’t really occurred to me to make one for us until he said something a couple weeks ago. So the fabric collecting started, but I didn’t really know where I was […]

Bords

I use a filter thing that sits on top of my mug and I’d just filled it with boiling water from the kettle when it tipped over, landing on my left hand.

Hilarious.
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, daily grindThis is mostly for Ashley who thought snakeskin leggings would be hilarious. She’s absolutely correct, of course, they really are quite amusing. They’re also very comfy, walking in them is indescribably awesome. It was funny, I tweeted about them the other day and almost immediately got an @ message from the manufacturer telling me that […]
