Robin's Nest
We've got a nest in the laurel bush at the edge of our porch! There are 3 eggs, and one baby bird so far. Lydia is already keeping a journal about the nest at Leslie's house, so we've added the information about our nest too. Both nests are in perfect viewing spots-- Leslie's is in a hanging basket of flowers on the porch, and ours is at Lydia's eye level on our porch. Silly robins! Did you know that the robin parents take turns watching the nest? The mother sits on the nest overnight, and in the morning, the father flies by to relieve her. Last night when we were sitting on the porch, a robin buzzed the shrub and another robin flew out of the foliage. I immediately looked for a nest, and there it was! Friday, June 20, 2008
Happy Customer
I just got a new serger, and my grandmother asked me to replicate her favorite t-shirt. I folded the shirt and laid it on the fabric, pinning the fabric along every seam. I cut it out with a rough 1/4 inch seam (that quilting experience sure has trained my eye!) and serged it together. Success! She likes it! Next up, clothes for MEEEEE. Thursday, May 08, 2008

When I say Madam, you say President!
Hillary Clinton has my vote because she described concretely the issues that face our nation. Her speech was detailed and focused, practical and encouraging. She addressed the following issues directly: the budget deficit; the war in Iraq; health care and social security; energy independence; job market expansion. Hillary plans to restore balance for American citizens-- balance among the tax burdens citizens and businesses of all income levels bear; balance between a reduction in our energy requirements and the identification and diversification of renewable energy sources; balance between the cost of health care and the number of people who receive timely, affordable, reliable medical services; balance between the number of manufacturing jobs we have lost and the number of new skilled workers needed in the service sector. I believe Hillary Clinton knows the issues this country faces, and she will rally the citizens of this country to chip away at these problems together. She inspired me and gave me confidence that the problems are big, but not insurmountable. I believe her long service record, as First Lady of Arkansas, as First Lady of the United States, and as US Senator from New York, shows that she is committed to public service above all. She has withstood the intense pressures of campaigning for her husband and for herself, year after year. She has kept her energy, her dignity, and her focus even under the intense scrutiny of the world. Becoming Commander-in-Chief will not shake her resolve to bring back balance to our government. I have had the fantastic opportunity to see both candidates in person in one day. My vote will be for Hillary Clinton. When I say Madam, you say President!  Sunday, March 30, 2008

Craft Room Cleanout on eBay
I finished the brick bracket quilt-- right down to the binding. It's kind of short for the sofa, but I love using it. Onward and upward! |
