Chattanooga, TN

Marc and I spent a lovely first weekend (Friday and Saturday, prior to our second weekend: Sunday, Monday) traveling to Chattanooga, TN. One stop was a meal at Steak’n’Shake where we found this pepper sauce bottle warning all comers: “Careful you”.

In addition we tried this, as it turns out, very icky chocolate. [...]

Lap Quilt

I’ve officially begun working on holiday gifts – this photo of one possible arrangement is on my camera so I thought I’d share. The quilt is made from pieced 9-patch blocks and solid black blocks on which I embroidered (via my nifty Brother embroidery machine) images from Nintendo.

Three guesses who this one will [...]

Harvest time…

The farmers have been working overtime to bring in a huge harvest of grapes. They taste just like grape juice!

Leggo my Lego Eggos!

Yet another product in a long line of innovative, or hysterical, products intended to encourage kids to play with their food. Or maybe its to encourage kids to eat waffles (since, you know, kids are so unlikely to enjoy syrup-laden bread products).

I’ve really enjoyed being [...]

Zelda Quilt

This quilt was inspired by the one seen here. It was made for the very Link-obsessed Jalen in an afternoon. Not bad, right?

The Four Mariachis

The kids, Marc and I all went played World of Warcraft last weekend with a goal in mind: get a new pet for our characters. Moira came up with the very brilliant “get the mariachi hat that summons a coyote pet” idea. As you can see, it went well.
