check out these cute birdie ornaments! they are wooden and i love them and maybe some will go on the tree next winter, but for now they are cheering up my nook.
not that the nook needs cheering. man, i love that little room. i love to sit and listen to music and podcasts and make stuff. also, i'm loving this old school thread holder. i had a plastic one, one of those giant square boxes that the lid never quite fits right on, and finally i was like, "i hate this thing. i'm going to buy a new one." genius!
this quilt is almost done! i have some brown i need to sew along the sides to tie it all together, and it might actually be one strip too long. i'm not sure. i have a great old sheet to back it with, and after i get the sides on, i'm going to tie it so mom can lend me her fancy binding tool and i can finish it this weekend. i don't know if i'm just getting more patient or better at sewing, but i have never in my life made progress like this. these projects feel like they are flying by, and happily so. this might not be the most modern or stylish quilt, but it makes me so happy to see the little bits of fabric with history. the triangles of skull fabric anne bought me, the bits from the bunting we made for the wedding, the funny red "wood" fabric i made my first pair of pajama pants out of, it's all there!

I love the pinwheels, what a great quilt. And the scraps you recognize from past projects, that's sweet.
thank you! :)
