random 14.

1. i started another new quilt today. before finishing the other three i have on the go. yep. and i'll probably start another one in the next few days. just saying.

2. i was cleaning a bit of my room today. and put some of my sweaters into a suitcase to store away. and realized that fall is coming. (yippee.) so i put the sweaters back in the closet. 

3. i am now 23 weeks pregnant. and haven't bought any maternity clothes yet. i am thinking our little girl might appreciate me buying some roomier pants soon. she is moving more and more. and it is the most surreal feeling.

4. i judge books by their cover. i do. and i sometimes choose a product. like jam. over another just because of the packaging. 

5. a friend and i set up and ran a photo booth at a kid's festival yesterday. cardboard clouds, fake mustaches, real suckers and more. let me just say. it was a super long day and i totally admire you folks who take photos for a living. my gosh.

I have a very short attention span when it comes to craft projects. It's been that way since I was a kid; I'm sure there are still bags of half-finished projects in the closet of my childhood bedroom! I think it comes from being so excited about each new idea I have and not wanting to wait to try it out. So I am constantly discovering projects I started so long ago and wanting to finish them, but not enough to put down the newest project. It's a vicious cycle!

PS: I have a jar of Crofter's in my fridge. Plain old raspberry spread. It's the best I've ever tasted, so now I'll have to wait for it to go on sale again or buy it at full price. Damn Whole Foods for hooking me!

Feeling that squirmy baby is absolutely the best thing about pregnancy. I missed my bump dearly both times mine were born.

And I'd have chosen that jam too.

I love hearing your comments on the pregnancy. It must be such an incredible feeling.

Those jams are excellent - we tried the North America and Europe ones, which were both fantastic. Just wish they weren't so expensive.

That quilt looks great! I was pawing through my fabrics yesterday, but with our house under remodel, I have not space, and told myself I would just have to be patient. And I am with you, I totally choose books by their covers.

Leslie, What news about baby!! I haven't been online recently b/c I'm a new mommy (at least relatively new). Enjoy your time quilting, knitting and doing fun things now. When the babe comes, you will be mommy 24/7 with little time for yourself. Not that you'd care, you'd be marveling at the beauty of your babe.

Hello

Where do you get your cool fabrics from in Canada, or are they all from outside of the country?

Thanks
Molton

Leslie, i can't believe you're 23 weeks and still wearing regular clothes. that is great. i am 13 weeks and practically bursting out of all my pants (and bras! gosh).

[Mallory]

I love the fabrics you are using for the quilt, in fact I love all the fabrics you have. The quilts are going to be beautiful.

I didn't realise that you were already 23 weeks along! Time flies, and it's not even my baby!

Oh Leslie, it's been so long since I've "spoken" with you, and now that you're back home, I wanted to say "Welcome back and congrats on the baby!"

and he made his two year old erupt in laughter like only a dad can. It was a window into the vacation in real time—and a pretty good consolation, evenasfd if he couldn't sample the speckled-trout ceviche plucked from the Gulf just that morning.
of the din. While I suppose it could be a malfunctioning machine of some kind (although I can't imagine any air conditioner making this sort of racket), the sound conjures to mind a nest of birds.
