Hamilton Lake Girls

Well guess what I found: old pics & a scanner! It's my new favorite thing to scan pictures of yore, so be prepared. I love these pics, though. We had some good times!

(Perr, I was talking to my Dad and then happened to look over at his bookshelf only to see all of these owls looking back at me! I immediately thought of you! Hoo, hoo!)

I made a quilt!

Here it is! My GP Reject quilt!

The story behind the quilt: my roomie was an interior designer for a famous celebrity w/ the initials GP. I'll let you figure that out. Anyway, after roomie showed GP all of the fabric samples for drapes, curtains, etc, she had these unwanted & rejected samples and gave them to me. I then started to hand sew the first few patches earlier in the year and would pick it up every now & then. And since I've been home & have so much free time, my Mom & I have been working on it.

Making a quilt is hard, time consuming & requires much patience. I don't usually have that much patience as I like quick projects where you can see your work immediately. When I was frazzled, up to my elbows in pins, needles & batting, my Mom quickly reminded me how one goes about eating an elephant.

The quilt is not quite done yet- I might want to add a few buttons on the corners where my impatience is visibly noticeable and also to help bind the whole thing together. Thanks roomie, GP & Mom!

Happy Bday, Sorem

I'm not sure if you read this blog, Brendan, but since I feel awful I didn't call you today, I'll post a blog shout out just for you!
Happy Birthday! I'm sure you were on a yacht somewhere, or at least dreaming of it.

Missing out!

Well if I wasn't sad enough to have missed Prince Harry & the Obamas in NYC, I now have to miss one of my favorite Summer events: drinks on the roof of the Met! So fun! Last year had some of Jeff Koons' work, including this, which I love:
