I finally started a sweater from the yarn Laura gave me last Christmas. The pattern is Vivian. My yarn is quite a bit fuzzier than what's shown (Berroco Peruvia) and sort of mossy green, which makes the whole thing more subtle and organic looking.

t-shirt quilt
I made a quick-and-dirty quilt from a bunch of oversize t-shirts Tom wasn't ready to throw out yet. It really needs to be quilted a great deal more, but it's so relentlessly tacky that I can't quite bring myself to put more time into it. Being made out of old t-shirts (and an old jersey sheet), it's reeeeaaallly soft though.

Potato Stamps
While in Portland we made stamps from potatoes an used them to print on fabric. These are some of the results.
Messing around with watercolors
I have no real idea how to use watercolors, so trying to copy images is at least interesting from a learning control standpoint. (This is a page from Kabuki).
Lemon Marmalade
Randall's parents had a bumper crop of lemons, so I made marmalade. There was also lemon merengue pie, but I forgot to photograph it.
