Sandra January 24, 2012 photography / this and that2 Comments

  My photo editing skills are very basic. That is why I love to use Picasa and used to love Picnik (which is closing in April and I will miss it so much through my tears)  I keep an online file of images which I have found on the Internet. …

Valentine Cottage

  Valentine’s Day.  Very fun. Used to be that children took Valentines around to their friends in the evening. They put the Valentine on the porch, rang the doorbell and hid. Sometimes boys tied strings to their Valentines and pulled them as their friends tried to pick them up. I …

journal entry: Getting little people through church has always been a challenge. The clunk of a hot wheels car on the floor is a distinctive and familiar sound. These little activites are for Andrew, Owen and George.  I ran across the fabric in blue and red. It is covered with …

journal entry: I hope that whomever invented baby carrier covers made a million dollars. They are so clever. You don’t even need a pattern. This cover is for Baby Boy Watrous . . . soon to be coming into the world.  I love the fabrics available at “quilt shops”.  They …

Camera Strap Covers from Minky

Sandra January 10, 2012 other stuff / sewing / this and thatLeave a comment

journal entry: This is a quick little post about camera strap covers.  I love them. I have made many for friends and family. They save the pain of a canvas strap digging into your neck. Covers made from “minky” fabric are especially wonderful.  And, they are super easy and fast …

Sandra January 5, 2012 kids / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

journal entry: I don’t know a boy or a boy-grown-into-a-man who doesn’t love robots. Old robots from the Flash Gordon days and new robots from the scientific laboratories.  From my robots and other space things folder of images I printed out 20 robots on 4×6 photo paper.  I mounted each …

Sandra January 5, 2012 kids / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

journal entry: I have long sighed over the beautiful dolls made by the German doll maker Zwergnase. Each year she adds new faces and clothing and hair and I think about which dolls I would buy if I was a trillionare. But since I’m not and don’t expect that to …
