I feel I have to explain myself when it comes to the lack of blogging currently (not) taking place, but really all there is to say is: my hand is still injured and that has led me to ruminate way to much about my crafting life...
You tear a ligament and side cartilage and suddenly pining two pieces of fabric becomes so excruciating that you wonder why? oh why?! you ever picked up sewing in the first place.
Today I am trying to avoid the news as since 9/11 I have a tendency to become hysterical/catatonic when faced with the kind of horror and destruction that happened today in Japan. The avoidance tactics led me to complete a quilt top started just before the wrist injury. I am very grateful that my boss didn't decide to fire my useless ass (pardon my French) considering how long it took to get there.
With sore bones I sewed together a skull, and that was completely appropriate.

I'm glad you are working :) I don't watch television OR read newspapers. I catch alittle news on the radio sometimes. The tragedy in Japan is bad. An example of Mother Nature that we have NO control over :( 9/11 was Man-made which made it worse. Keep working and healing :) We have NO control over Natural Disasters... None at all... Enjoy your beautiful little boy and HAPPY THOUGHTS :) Best wishes from Cheryl

Juilette: I spend a lot of my time looking up blogs of crafty locals and then looking at links on blogs for other crafty blogs and today during my hours of blog browsing I came across your blog. I was so excited. I am in love with your blog! You are who I want to be one day. I have tried my hand at sewing and I admire anyone who can complete as many projects as you. I hope you don't mind that I continue to check out your blog. I love your family so much (especially Finn!).

Your quilt turned out beautifully! Does the hand injury prevent you from skiing too? I'm sorry your hand is still in such pain!
