Monday, October 20, 2008. Tutorial: Sew A Lining Into A Crocheted Bag. This tutorial shows you how I hand sew a fabric lining into a crochet bag. There is a line of stitching at the top of the fold in my lining as reference. If you make a lining, you don't need the stitching line. The Detailed Instructions are numbered to make it easy to refer to them (or keep your place) . not each numbered item is really a step to follow. The unlined crochet bag. The lining (use my lining tutorial. 3) Put the lining in...

Dispatches from France: Master Reset
http://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.com/2013/10/master-reset.html
The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Tuesday, October 08, 2013. Man, this has been one hell of a year. Shortly after I wrote my last post, a lot of things happened at once. Most of them happened inside my head. But, no. I found myself at a conference in Paris, surrounded by office-type people talking about banal office-type things, and I thought, "what the hell am I doing with these people? But the truth is, I'm not the same person that I was in 2004. I don't see the world th...

Dispatches from France: September 2012
http://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Sunday, September 23, 2012. The biggest adjustment, I think, to this new working schedule, is that we have to cram everything that needs to get done on a Saturday. Even if Stéphane doesn't work on Wednesdays, I have the car so he can't run errands (but at least he can make phone calls! The last leg of this errand crushing day had us going to the other side of town, picking up groceries I'd ordered on the internet (and seriously, thank goodness...

The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Wednesday, July 04, 2012. Whoa That's definitely the longest this poor blog has ever been neglected! I have some really good news, but I think the way I got from there to here is important, so I'm going to try to keep this brief. When I last left you, I was looking for a way to get into a bookbinding program. I did contact the national bookbinding school, only to find that they are moving to Toulouse, on the other side of France! I also decide...

Dispatches from France: January 2012
http://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. I had a great meeting with my boss last week. It started off a little awkward, with him asking point blank what I wanted from him and me not knowing at all. How to answer him, but we finally eased into the conversation. Mr Boss has no objection to my looking into the accredited classes accessible to adults in Paris. (! Clearly, this is much, much better than what I hoped for! Of course, it's up to me to follow up and...

Dispatches from France: La Rentrée 2012
http://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.com/2012/09/la-rentree-2012.html
The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. My last day at my old job was August 25 and I had a week's break before I started my new job in Reims. I mostly spent that week stressed out, second guessing myself, terrified that I'd made a bad choice. Thought, "What the hell have I gotten myself into? Lucky for me, my lunch spot looked like this. I munched my tuna avocado sandwich and people watched for forty-five minutes, and I was ready to attack my new life.

Dispatches from France: August 2011
http://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Saturday, August 06, 2011. Stéphane rides in an ambulance and other fun tales. So, let's go way back, a month ago, right before we left on vacation. School had ended but Stéphane continued working five days straight. Finally, Thursday after school ended, he was finally on vacation and spent the day playing on the computer, lounging around, napping, etc. Nothing weird or out of the ordinary. Turns out, he woke up sitting on the side of the bed.

The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Monday, February 06, 2012. This roller coaster ride ain't over yet. She seemed very enthusiastic about my project and some quick computer searching found that I may be able to get my classes funded for the national bookbinding school in Bourgogne (Burgandy, the region just to the south of us)! I was so ready for them to say "No, sorry, there's nothing we can do for you" today that I can't quite believe that the ball is still in play! The sunri...

The story of an American girl who followed a French boy home. Friday, July 29, 2011. I swear to god, I completely jinxed us all to hell last week. Last Friday I posted that recipe (which was so good Stéphane made me make it again. This week), and that evening the three of us were hanging out on the couch and I had this moment of complete happiness. So of course the very next day we had DRAMA. Things, made me completely nauseous. I was completely stressed about it all over Saturday and didn't totally ...
