Sewing When it Rains (it rains a lot)

This poor guy is missing his bottom thingamajiggie/lobe (Help! Lisa?) but seems to be managing just fine amongst the scilla of some sort.

Mifflette-with-a-heart is off on a healing purpose, to TX, I think.

My mesh yoga mat bag fell apart. I was inspired to make a new one from this beautiful embroidered upholstery fabric remnant, given to me some years back by a Manhattan seamstress. I matched up the major flower with a pocket and that is what you see facing out.

I love Syl's volcanic pencil holder!

Twenty-five Years in the Dirt

A neighbor gave me a call from a residence I lived in twenty-five years ago. She said she found something buried in the earth that was mine. I wondered how in the heck she could know it was mine, but when I retrieved it, clearly it belonged to no one else but me, unless YOU know of another Emmy Lou Woodbury, with the date of August 12, 1945 inscribed inside. The silver shined up perfectly though it won't fit anyone beyond three years old.

Maker Faire

May 30-31 was the annual Bay Area Maker Faire in which DYI types show their stuff. It was tons of fun and inspiring.

Billy Goats on the Bridge

One can hear Tillie in the background issuing warnings to the billy goats on the bridge at Bachman Park.
