Wednesday, November 19, 2014. It's very late to post this since I just "turned" 38 weeks pregnant,. But I still wanted to make this part of the blog. We're gonna have a baby! A few sticks I peed on. And here is the profile of the little nugget at 20 weeks! The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play. And Sally was starting to show! Fanciness at the Ivey's! The crib is painted! You can't possibly call yourself "ready for a child" without Sophie. This is for real y'all! We only have 2 weeks.

Wednesday, May 15, 2013. My first very own home. My first lease in Minneapolis. My first independent-woman, budget your life, make it work, buy what you want, put it where you want, warm and cozy haven in the coldest Winters, birds chirping outside in the Spring, perfect location with and without a car, love nest when Jason moved in, super awesome studio in Uptown, Minneapolis. So we made sure all the drawers were empty, and we were off! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

Friday, November 6, 2015. Took a little trip to Boise. It was time to hang out with Leah, finally. Got to see Tilly,. And meet their new pets! This is Benjamin, the 12 week old kitten,. And Julian, the sweetest pup. Sock monkey with Willy Wonka and Violet Beauregard. I've been pretty cat-crazy lately. I think it's the want for a little soft being with a heart beat, close to me. I'm very allergic, but I couldn't resist the soft cuddles. Napping on the bump. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thursday, August 16, 2012. I am making another stuff. I was on a 5 week tour, and I started a quilt. A real, old school, hand-stitched quilt. Now I am home, and no where near done, but addicted to the stitching! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Trying out all that the internet has to offer. And with my family all over the world, and anywhere but near me, I am blogging. All the photos are taken by me, unless otherwise noted. View my complete profile.

http://elise-helene.blogspot.com/2016/01/another-quilt-done.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2016. This quilt has been years in the making. And I mean, years. Maman started this quilt maybe 20 years ago? Liberty fabrics only. Liberty all over, all the time. Something like 3 years ago Maman gave me all she had already made for it and it was up to me to finish it. I started piecing and blocking when we were in Seattle doing Pinocchio in early 2014. Took my good ol' time to get it all together,. Got some batting and went to town! Quilted like a chess board around the squares.

Thursday, September 20, 2012. Quilting - The Beginning. So, it all started with my Mom. She loves linens. She loves fabric, quilts, sheets, you name it. When I was about 10-ish, we had antique quilt shows in our living room. Two other American women brought their collections to our Paris home and the Parisian ladies would walk around our house, as my brother and I came home from school and grabbed snacks before going upstairs to do our homework. My inspiration came from a blog. Squares of 9 it is! Trying...

Friday, October 12, 2012. Quilting - Diving In. I wasn't sure if I wanted 9 different fabrics for each 9-square, or if I wanted two-toned squares of 9. (like the top photo) (so glad the rice cooker is in the shot). I decided to go for 9 different fabrics! The squares of 9 are oranges and yellows, and the border is the blue. (two of the fabrics are missing from this shot - they came from a skirt, and a pair of PJ pants). Then I went to town ironing around the cardboard, basting, and piecing!

Monday, March 25, 2013. Back On The Bus. Took the bus downtown for the first time in at least a year. Maybe two? It's been a while. Back on temping trail. Watch out, world, I'm getting paid to sit in front of a computer- I'm online all. the. time. Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Quilting - The Back. Found this orange fabric at S.R. Harris. Batting. Warm and Natural is what I heard I should get. Looking at the measurements, I am actually making a TWIN-sized quilt. What? But it looks so good on our full bed!
