Abby has found some of my more accessible yarn stash, and loves to carry it around, rub it on her face, snuggle with it, and pet it. I guess I'm getting her hooked young!

Simon, napping
... on the Lone Star quilt. This one has a braided border made of scraps; the quilt itself is very scrappy!

Back In Action...
...sort of! Yes, that's meant to be a pun: my back has been repaired and I've spent the last two weeks being very very good (or at least trying to) in order to give it time to heal. Today was Easter Sunday and only my second time out away from my comfy chair. The back did beautifully. The knee, however, did not.
I think the warranty on my "parts" has expired.
The knee is an ongoing issue and its pain level is exacerbated by my having to be off ibuprofen for an extended period of time. That's because it supposedly interferes with the healing of the bone grafts in my spine, and of course we want those to take. I did spend a lot more time standing around today than I normally do, so this is to be expected.
It was, however, quite worth it. D4 and E picked me up and we trekked out to D3's where we were greeted by a pair of adorable boys. N8 is really into trains, and there were a couple of new ones in his basket this morning. The bunny also left a coloring book and "magic" pens for G, who can sit and color for an hour or two in total concentration. We had a lovely dinner of baked ham, potato salad (D4 has picked up the potato-salad torch and is carrying it extremely well), deviled eggs and roasted asparagus. D3 had made macaroons, and D4 made adorable cupcakes. I'll try to gank photos to post here--I didn't bring my camera with me, sadly.
So, this is me, once again here, and I'll be trying to post more often. Right now I'm trying to get the knee to stop cursing at me (wouldn't you think being wrapped in a nice warm heating pad would soothe it? Yeah, not so much.) and settle in.

Still Here!
Wow--it's been quite a while since I posted. Guess that's what happens when a person gets attacked by her own back. Yes, I've been down for the count for the last almost-month, 4 weeks today of pain and misery. However it's getting fixed on Monday, so I'm hopeful for good results and am anticipating being back to whatever passes for normal with me soon!
Just wanted to update a couple of things here. First, Entangled magazine is ready for a free preview. Do check it out. It's from Genny Stevens in NZ and I think she's done a smashing job with it!
If you've been following the story of the Great American Afghan raffle to benefit XRX's Sue Nelson, there's an update here. Angela, who won the raffle, is one of my Ravelry and Facebook friends, and I love what she decided to do. I also love that there was such wonderful cooperation and concern all across the knitting community--the nice people at Vogue Knitting helped spread the word and support the project. I have to admit I got a little teary-eyed reading Ben's post.
If I can sit up at the computer a bit later, I do have some "crafty" goodness to share. I did a project for a swap on Ravelry and documented the process, and I've been meaning to post about it. Right now I have a date with a cup of coffee and a couple of hot chocolate croissants!

The Process Pledge
Today I got a comment on an older post (the one with Baby J's quilt) and tracking back the commenter, I found Rossie's blog and her post on The Process Pledge. It was an intriguing idea, and since I've been working at getting back into quilting more I think it was a serendipitous find.
Here's Rossie's original prompts:
I’ve made a list of prompts to get some process posts going. I will continue to update these prompts as time goes on, based on what I see in blogs, ideas that are submitted to me by email, and also in the comments.
As always, there will be way more photos on the Flickr page than I'll put in the blog, so do click through--especially if you also want to see cute babies, cats, flowers and sunsets and all the other things that appeal to my magpie mind!

I’ve made a list of prompts to get some process posts going. I will continue to update these prompts as time goes on, based on what I see in blogs, ideas that are submitted to me by email, and also in the comments.
- Do you have any new sketches to show?
- Is this design inspired by a past quilt or someone else's quilt you saw (link, please)?
- Does the color palette come from somewhere specific?
- Are you trying to evoke a specific feeling?
- Is this quilt intended for a specific person? How did that inform your choices?
- Are you following a pattern, emulating a block you saw somewhere, using a liberated process, or totally winging it?
- What are you hating about this quilt at this stage? What do you love?
- Did you push yourself to try something new?
- In working on the quilt, are you getting ideas about what you might want to try next? What? Did you sketch it?

Cousins!
Abby's birthday is Valentine's Day, so her party was today. She's sitting on her gift from her auntie and uncle--this wheeled conveyance has lights, music, twirling princesses, a keyboard, in short anything and everything required to be a wonderful toy! She's testing out the features with a little help from her cousin, who was riding it a few minutes before.

A Quilt for Baby J
My knit group is having a baby shower tomorrow for one of our members who recently adopted a little boy. I finished up this quilt and found a cute little tote bag to put it in, all ready to present to her.
Ragg quilts are great "play" quilts, and this one is also light enough to use for wrapping up baby. The colors are nice and vibrant, and it's been "Abby-certified" and approved.
Here's hoping Baby J and his mama will love it too!

Ready to clip
One of the two ragg quilts, ready to be clipped then washed and dried and washed and dried and washed and dried...
I wasn't quite sure how to put the colors together so they'd be at least harmonious, but I think I'm pretty happy with this arrangement. The checked squares really stand out a lot more than I thought they would, but this arrangement seems fairly balanced to me.
And yes, I did make "twins" out of the two sets of blocks, figuring that if the quilts weren't a good size they could always be joined into one big one. I think this size will work well for a baby/toddler/little kid quilt, though!

The other part of the supervisory team. Simon wants to be sure he's up close enough to see that I'm doing it right!
"Step" Cat
Hi-Hi, watching me sew. Sitting on this step puts him just above my eye level when I'm sitting at the machine.

First Pies!
My Xmas present from The Daughters was this "personal pie" baker. Cranked it up tonight and voila! Four little cranberry-apple pies. They only bake for about 8-10 minutes, and it takes just a little longer than that to prep them. Might need to do this more often.
Thinking of mini-tourtieres, for instance, since there aren't too many of us who really eat it. Or any time I have a pie craving.
The jar of TJ's apple-cranberry filling (which is VERY sweet) is probably enough to make a dozen of these little beauties. Yum!

Birthday Boy with Dinocake
People were singing to him! One thing our family is known for is the awful way we sing "Happy Birthday." This was just another outing for the Off-Key Chorale!
But he did manage to blow out his candle, so I guess he can turn 3 now!

The First 16-Patch
...is done. Just needs to be pressed. I think what will happen is t hat there will be "trails" across the top of the quilt, since the blocks will form chains in both directions.
The darker purple fabric is actually quite shaded--you can almost tell in this picture--with lighter and darker areas. It's a McKenna Ryan print, and it has a quote about faith on it. Ought to be interesting when it's a whole top!
Right now, all the pink 4-patches are sewn together. The purples are still 2-patches, but I had to put one block together just to see if it would look the way I imagined it would.
It does.

Progress!
My pink and lavender quilt blocks are coming right along. The 6 "picture" blocks have been bordered on two sides, to bring them up to 12 1/2". I did two sides because they were already pretty close to the size I wanted, and putting borders on 4 sides would have made them look silly. So two it was. It will give it a bit of an "attic window" look.
They're laying across 300 2-patches, which will next get sewn into 150 4-patches, which will then become 32 16-patches. Not quite sure how many quilts this will translate to, or if they'll all be used in one quilt. That's to decide later on.
In the back you can see t he flannel squares, ready to be sewn into rag quilts. Oh yes, I do plan to stay busy at the machine! In all of my copious free time.

Birthday Cake
When it's a BIG birthday, it calls for a BIG party! I'll post more pictures (or you can check my Flickr page via that badge over there), but here's one of the cake and some yummy lemon cookies...
Dancey Dance
This is the companion print to all those 4-patches I'm making--the square can be brought up to 12 1/2"" and then it will match up. There are 6 of them, conveniently.
Also today you should check out my cyberfriend Amy's blog: http://dyedinthewool.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/birthday-contest/ just for fun, and maybe to enter her contest, too!

Playtime!
A quick shot of Abby, playing busily. She's really good at playing by herself, likes to have someone nearby but doesn't really require a lot of "attention." She does like having her picture taken! I took a short video of her and she was fascinated watching it play back inside the camera.

What?
Who doesn't appreciate a little help of the feline persuasion? Simon thinks he needs to supervise my quilting. (He's supervising my typing right now, or at least warming my keyboard.)
These are 3 1/2" strips--25 each of a pink "dance" print, a lavender "dance" print, a cream-and-pink small floral, and a lavender print. They're going to become 6 1/2" four-patches, which will then be sewn into 12 1/2" blocks. I'm hoping I can get 25 of the large blocks out of these strips, and they'll then be added to 6 more 12 1/2" blocks--which have ballerinas printed on them--to make a 5 x 6 block quilt top. We'll see if (with Simon's help, of course) I can get that many blocks out of the strips!

A Cutting Table!
Well, okay, so it's my kitchen island. It's a perfect height for cutting on!
Today I had a minor brainstorm and sewed together all the leftover fabric pieces from the flannel squares, and managed to get another 22 blocks out of it. Of course that meant I also had to cut 22 more squares of batting, but now it's all done and ready to sew.
Once the decorations come down from the bar--I'm thinking Wed. night might work for that--then I'll be able to cut on the bar instead of walking around to the kitchen. Looks like my "dream" of a real sewing room is inching closer and closer to reality!

What's Under There?
Simon would like to know if I'm keeping anything interesting for cats under there. He was fascinated with the sewing machine--it's been a while since I've been able to set it up and actually sew at home, and his little cat brain doesn't remember much except his last feeding. Which he ALWAYS thinks was days or weeks ago.
So today I was able to finish clearing off the table in the back room, and set up the sewing machine. I've been cutting squares of flannel and leftover batting so I had a project ready to go. By the time I quit for the night, I had 88 squares layered and ready to lay out to piece together.
I was shocked at how my skills have deteriorated, and I'm sure hoping I can get them back up to par! It's not a question of not knowing what to do--I know how, but the muscle memory that made it so smooth and almost effortless has gone kaput.
Doesn't help when someone--even a little someone--keeps sitting on the squares!

Looking through the window
...in my back door. There's the deck, and a glimpse of the camellia bush. It's been more or less happily living with a deck built around it for the last 27 years--and it still blooms.
There's a closeup of this flower on my Flickr page and on my picture blog. I was mentally composing a very thoughtful post about this tough little bush, and how I really need to learn from it. All that "bloom where you're planted" stuff--you know how it goes.
Then my internet went out, and now I've only got the "wild wifi" that the laptop can catch, at least until Tuesday when my phone company will supposedly be out to fix it. To which I will only say that spending 65 minutes on the phone either holding for tech support, or trying to talk to tech support, can sap the will to live of even the strongest of souls. And mine's already pretty beaten down.
But I'm resilient. It's a new year, and I'm getting this post in just before the end of the day, so hope springs eternal.
And my camellias are blooming, so there's that.

Determination!
Today was a play date at Grandma's, which allowed lots of room for scooting, sliding, and yes, crawling. I didn't think anything of it when she was up on all fours and actually crawling--she was so close last Friday, I just figured she'd mastered it over the weekend.
Nope. After she and mom got home, I got a text message asking what I'd done since she's now full-on crawling! One of those kind of double-edged milestones: now she's mobile, which means keep an eye on her!
There are a couple more pics on my Flickr page for today, including one that shows her sharp little teeth--yes, she bites! But she's so cute and so sweet, we can't get too upset with her!

Joy!
A little bit blurry--but she's hardly ever still, and the camera is once again refusing to take pictures unless the flash is turned off. The longer exposure time means there's a split-second more for someone to move.
And move she does!

Tree and Arbor Wrap
This is a project for a KAL on Rav--it's a FickleKnitter design, and the yarn is Alpha B's Sexy B in Escapade. The yarn is soft and wonderful and the shaded purples are lovely.
Not that you can tell from this craptastic photo, however. Camera is giving me fits (yet again) and I think it's time to take it shopping for its replacement. When I've done that in the past, it shapes up and behaves. Let's see if that still works!

Another Day...
...another post. Don't really have a picture to post today, since today's activities were anything but photogenic. Let's just say, two women sweating and (maybe a little swearing too) moving boxes and bins and "stuff" around are not a pretty sight. Even though D5 was wearing her really nice jeans.
After the massive renovations a couple of years ago, there have been some boxes left over that were still packed--using the term loosely as the "packers" were more like "let's see how much damage we can do shoving stuff in boxes" kind of guys. So today we tackled a few of them.
I still don't have a "real" plan in mind as to what I want to do with myself, but I do know that whatever future I have, this house needs to be lightened of "stuff." So things in boxes need to go. There's going to be a yard sale--kind of a Giant Antiques, Collectibles, and Stuff Sale. As hard as it is to part with some things, it's too hard to keep on hanging on to them.
Now, please excuse me while I go read the next chapter of Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat? Gotta love Peter Walsh!

Someone's very very close to crawling--she actually did a couple of times today. She's definitely full of beans!
I thought this would be an appropriate photo for my first "play" blog post of the month! Kind of squeaking under the wire, time-wise, but it all counts. (Right?)

Another Birthday
Today (8-8) would have been my dad's 94th birthday. He didn't quite make it--my father-in-law passed away on his 94th--but all he had cared about was living to be older than his mother. And that he succeeded in doing!
So, kind of a bittersweet day today, remembering the "old days" and the good past times. I sure hope he and Ma are having a good time together again!

From Dear Jane at Asilomar: the blue and white ones are mine. This is what I have to show for a week of concentrated effort! 6 blocks and 3 triangles--plus I have 4-5 more blocks in partial stages of completion. Jane A. Stickle was very fond of appliqueing melons, apparently!

Had a photo shoot on some of my current WIPs tonight. Hi-Hi was helping out. The blue beads are actually part of the shawl; the green ones are stitch markers.
More pictures of yarny goodness (and catly beauty) on my Flickr page. I seem to be suffering from terminal tiredness today (for no good reason) so this is it. Hey, it's a post, right?

Yes, this blog is still alive. I'm not committing to NaBloPoMo, but I am going to try to post more regularly.
But this is all you're getting today. More Abigail cuteness on my Flickr page--linky's over there!
