Quilts, kitchens and kid
It's been a crazy/fun 48 hours.
Just over 48 hours ago I finished up this mini quilt. My inspiration was a sunset the other evening after a storm.
It's machine pieced and mostly machine quilted with some hand quilting of cloud shapes. All the fabrics are from my mom's great garage sale score. Ok, one more photo.I like this quilt
36 hours ago I was home watching our kitchen counters be installed. Wahoo, one step closer to done:
Also note that Biscuit is wearing the most adorable outfit EVER (even though you can't really tell in this picture). AND...that dishwasher you see...is, right this very moment, scrubbing a huge backlog of dishes. Back to the timeline
30 hours ago I was off to San Francisco on a whim to go to this book launch party. I was too shy to take photos or introduce myself to anyone but I got to hang out with my sister and buy the book (signed). The author, Meg, seemed very nice and it was a fun little party.
27 hours ago Mr. H was putting Biscuit to bed and tooted. He asked Biscuit if she was going to copy him and toot. She scrunched up her face in concentration and effort and then shook her head and said, "No toot. Toot broken." Oh my gosh how funny is that?
17 hours ago Biscuit fell out of her big girl bed (it doesn't happen often) so I got in bed with her and promptly overslept so 14.5 hours ago I finally made it to work.
15 hours ago the Sacramento Craft Mafia was on tv.
7.5 hours ago I got out of meetings that had lasted 5 hours.
2 hours ago I fixed the dishwasher to garbage disposal connector and 1 hour ago I loaded the dishwasher.
Not bad for 48 (ish) hours.
Wow. That is an impressive 48 hours.
Do you realize how humbling it is for me to read your blog? I have NO IDEA how you do it all: the work, the parenting, the dishes (ugh! handwashing dishes! barf!), the CRAFTS.
I am in *love* with that map quilt. Love it.

Hi Mrs. H! Laura told me about your blog a while ago and every once in a while I check in...it is really nice to be able to get a sense of how things are going with you guys! I LOVE seeing the pics of Biscuit because she's so freakin cute. Maybe we'll see you guys around the holidays?
