Happy Friday + Randomness

March 15, 2013

 

Happy Friday! Every day, K makes me laugh. I can’t possibly record every single utterance, but these were my faves this week:

K: I’m so into bugs right now.

Me: Oh yeah?

K: Yeah, I love books with pictures of bugs with information and all that stuff. Chapter books are so last season ago.

********************************************************************************

K: Mommy, I really want an asteroid. A fluffy one shaped like a bunny.

********************************************************************************

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! I leave you with a weekly haiku:

Have a lucky one
St. Paddy’s is this weekend
Don’t forget: wear green

    Love the illustrations (and the conversations!) but as an entomologist I have to make a correction… the phylum is Arthropoda, not Anthropoda!

      Ah, thank you Amanda! I’ve made the correction – note to self: double-check, double-check, double-check ๐Ÿ™‚

    Gorgeous illustrations! Wow.
    Coincientally, I just made my son a shirt with a Stag Beetle fabric: http://cicelyingleside.blogspot.ca/2013/03/boys-stag-beetle-shirt.html
    He’s a budding entomologist too, I think.

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. Iโ€™ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and Iโ€™m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, Iโ€™ve noticed that thereโ€™s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: Iโ€™ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™
