Monday, November 05, 2012. I know it's over and we're already eager to move on with the holiday season. But here are some memories. Everett went trick or treating with our dear friend Mary. Jacko had the flu. Bird costume looks great! Love that jack a puppy! So sweet, both of the children and all those cookies. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Julaine in Fiberspace: Embroidered Beads and My Heart Valve
http://julaine.blogspot.com/2011/07/embroidered-beads-and-my-heart-valve.html
Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Embroidered Beads and My Heart Valve. It's hard to imagine that it's been 15 years since I was diagnosed. This did take a little time, but I wanted to share a tutorial on some of what I've been working on: embroidered pony beads. Yes, there is something you can do with those little plastic kids' beads. Latest update on a new cardiologist - I have an appointment in 2 weeks with someone who specializes in valve disorders. Keep ...

Julaine in Fiberspace: On the Mannequin - Wild Fibers Wrap
http://julaine.blogspot.com/2013/03/on-mannequin-wild-fibers-wrap.html
Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Sunday, March 03, 2013. On the Mannequin - Wild Fibers Wrap. There's a new date for the silent art auction that I'm participating in, so I'm now pacing myself in the completion of the quilt that will be donated. Here are some photos of the "wild fibers wrap" so far.I was going to stitch the squares together. Nah. Buttons? Some of the wild fibers - some dupioni silk and panne velvet, cut into 1/2 inch strips.

Julaine in Fiberspace: July 2012
http://julaine.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Monday, July 09, 2012. So in the process of cutting circles of wool felt for buttons.I became bored. Even knowing that I would be attaching these to some upcoming nuno-felted pieces with beads, other buttons, and some perle cotton didn't help.I was not inspired! Wait, what are these narrow multi-color pieces? Pin them until they're dry. Oh, yeah! It was pretty easy to get that look! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Shop on Etsy. View my complete profile.

Julaine in Fiberspace: A Tale of Two Skirts
http://julaine.blogspot.com/2011/06/tale-of-two-skirts.html
Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. A Tale of Two Skirts. I think I had worn each of the two skirts once or twice. Loved the fabrics, just not sewn into skirts, I guess. This one really intrigued me.maybe it was because it looked like it would be a challenge. After seeing that it took 7/8 of a yard, I thought, hmmm, let's dig through the closet.I must have something there! Even had an old metal zipper that was the perfect size. Add upcycling to my list. The d...

LIFE: September 2012
http://mattandoona.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. Theme four: Boat rides boat rides so many boat rides. This is just a sequence of photos taken on a single stretch of one boat ride. Boat rides are a big area of activity for us and there are lots and lots of photos to support that. I will begin with one ride because it would take o so many uploads to convey what can be conveyed by just these 5 images. Boat rides = Happy kids. Friday, September 21, 2012. Theme three: The Painted Rocks. We try and go each year. We went to bed.

LIFE: Rehearsal strawberry rhubarb pie
http://mattandoona.blogspot.com/2012/10/rehearsal-strawberry-rhubarb-pie.html
Tuesday, October 09, 2012. Rehearsal strawberry rhubarb pie. Here is my strawberry rhubarb pie recipe from J and Erika's rehearsal dinner. Many of the technique secrets hidden in the crust recipe I learned or adapted from my Mom who makes the best pie crust. Some of them I picked up thru trial and error via Fine Cooking or Cook's Illustrated. This is how you make the best pie crust: Keep it cold, work without interruption, and don't add too much water or over mix. Easy! 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour.

LIFE: March 2012
http://mattandoona.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 19, 2012. In an effort to catch up. No, the snow did not suddenly disappear. these are from October. A field trip to the fire station and. A walk on the boardwalk at Potter's Marsh. Better late than never! Saturday, March 17, 2012. Thursday, March 15, 2012. At least March is sunny. Except these snowy pictures are from January 12, 2012. So you can see how much snow we had on our roof then. never mind the driveway. You can tell it's March by the beautiful sunlight. Hooray March!
