Red is for Passion: July 2012
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Red is for Passion. Friday, July 13, 2012. The heroines I'm reading. I recently finished “The Snow Queen” by Joan Vinge, who lives in Madison, WI (I used to live there! It is interesting to note that Vinge wrote The Snow Queen in 1980. What’s also fun is that this book was written in the 1980s as well, so they have to use the library and books to figure things out, not the Internet and GPS. Reading about the old tech is fun too. I like Nora Roberts because her stories make sense with and without the roma...

Red is for Passion: Baby's first birthday
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2013/04/babys-first-birthday.html
Red is for Passion. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. She turned 1 year old last week. We took her to Taiwan to meet my parents, who are thrilled to finally see, hold, and touch their first and only grandchild. Here we are at a baseball game and she fell asleep. My mom's holding her while my dad's holding her hand. My father's calling her gim swn, which means golden grandchild in Taiwanese. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Atlanta Fulton Public Library.

Red is for Passion: June 2012
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Red is for Passion. Monday, June 11, 2012. We've been using a pack of plain white cloth diapers as burp cloths / light shade blankets. However, I looked a Veronica clutching this and thought: My child needs more color! So I bought some Rit dye and this is the result. Much better. The colors in the picture below are not quite accurate. The orange is really a brighter mango color. I really want to dye more things now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Atlanta Fulton Public Library.

Red is for Passion. Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Got a new phone, the iPhone 5 and now I'm having trouble uploading pictures from the phone to the blog. Installed the Blogger app so I could post from the iPhone but that's not working either. Blergh. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Atlanta Fulton Public Library. Eat, Drink, Man.a food journal.

Red is for Passion: Been sewing
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2013/03/been-sewing.html
Red is for Passion. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Tunic O from Stylish Dress Book. Skirt: New Look 6873. A-Line Skirt from Stitch by Stitch. Book by Deborah Moebes. Dress A from Stylish Dress Book. My sewing nook in the corner of my bedroom. I'm currently watching the Sewing with Knits class and am looking forward to making the Surplice Dress from it. I really like Tunic O from Stylish Dress Book, but the sleeves are constricting. I want to remake the tunic in a knit for more flexibility. Youve been very busy!

Red is for Passion: October 2013
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Red is for Passion. Thursday, October 17, 2013. Wow, it's been a while. So much has happened since my last post. Here are the highlights:. 1) Went to visit Baby's birthparents. All went well. It was like a visit with friends. Baby was 15 months or so and her birth brother was about 2 and a half years old. Baby's birthparents had asked us to adopt from them again and we said Yes! 2) we are preparing an application to an adoption agency. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wow, its been a while.

Red is for Passion: July 2013
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Red is for Passion. Monday, July 29, 2013. Back from Vacation and Growing Up. Last week we went to Husband's family reunion on the shores of Lake Ontario on the US side. It was Baby's first time there. She enjoyed the fresh air, walking around on grass, crawling and walking up and down and up and down the ramp. She got along with all the relatives and they were all attentive and impressed by how well-behaved she was. Other than at shower time, nor at restaurants. We're going to have to fix that. Big Sist...

Red is for Passion: June 2013
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Red is for Passion. Monday, June 17, 2013. I've been on a clothes sewing kick. But I can only sew, and more importantly cut out pattern pieces, when the baby is napping. But this is what I've made since I last posted 6 weeks ago:. This is the Picnic Blanket Skirt from Tilly and the Buttons. The fabric is orange and white seersucker and pearly white plastic buttons. Per the instructions, there's an inch of ease, but I didn't like it. Eventually I pinched in the sides. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 8 (5 mm) ...

Red is for Passion: December 2012
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Red is for Passion. Tuesday, December 11, 2012. I've been busy. Above are the quilts I made in 2012, all folded in half length-wise. Blue and Pink Diamonds covers the top of our queen-size bed. That's the 5-year quilt which took about 10 years to do, off and on. As mentioned before, I fussy-cut and sewed the entire thing by hand. The reds and white quilt are based on the City Tracks pattern by Cherri House. The white is muslin, the reds are from a jelly roll of batiks from Intown Quilters. Based on my ca...

Red is for Passion: Regina, Mothers, and TV Recaps
http://redisforpassion-red.blogspot.com/2013/03/regina-mothers-and-tv-recaps.html
Red is for Passion. Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Regina, Mothers, and TV Recaps. It's been a while since I've watched Once Upon a Time but I keep up with it via recaps at io9.com. I just watched episode The Miller's Daughter and I thought it was very well done. The moment when Cora and Regina just smile happily at each other was just wonderful. And speaking of recaps at io9, this recap of Arrow. My take-aways from Brave: be very specific what you ask for in spells and really, more conversations and openness ...
