I do like to make pieced quilts. I just rarely take the time for it. Plus, my teenage daughter took over most of my sewing table with her jewelry making beads. She’s getting quite good at making bracelets and earrings, and I’m happy to share my CRAFT table … but I still need part ofContinue reading “7 quilt projects”

LDSWP: antiracism for kids
My next LDSWP interview is with Alexandria Scott, founder of the brand new Ditto Kids magazine, an antiracism education resource for children and their grown-ups. In all of the social justice unrest of 2020, Alexandria looked for resources to teach her small children about antiracism but couldn’t find any, so she made one herself. HerContinue reading “LDSWP: antiracism for kids”
reading list: nope
The book Home Edit Life: The Complete Guide to Organizing Absolutely Everything at Work, at Home, and on the Go is on its way back to the library. One word: pretentious. The photos, while very pretty, are all the same: rainbow organization on a bright white background. Because people only own things in a rainbowContinue reading “reading list: nope”
LDSWP: angels
New interview on the LDS Women Project! Kathy McArthur wanted to do this interview for her 33 grandchildren and I was happy to get it down with her.

5 podcasts I listen to
I’ve never been much of a podcast listener, but that’s changed a lot over the past year. And is it just me, or is it that every time I turn around, someone else has started a podcast. I don’t have the brain space to listen to everything, so I’m holding it to five. This isContinue reading “5 podcasts I listen to”
3 things I like about spring
— Flowers. Flowers flowers flowers. My husband doesn’t buy me cut flowers from the store very often. Instead, he gets flowers to have in pots and planter boxes on our back deck, and plants bulbs in our front yard like these. Our front flower beds usually get to Jungle status around the end of May.Continue reading “3 things I like about spring”
6 things I did like about the quarantine
1 telework. It’s nice to have my husband in the house four days a week, even when we’re both working online and not even interacting directly. 2 masks. I know I said I didn’t like them, but I also do like them – no one got sick during the winter. Sinus infections, strep, and bronchitisContinue reading “6 things I did like about the quarantine”
9 things I did not like about the covid-19 quarantine
1 the disease. I didn’t like that we had to do a quarantine at all. But we needed to until scientists and doctors could figure out what this thing was and how to fight it. 2 the unhealthy amount of screen time my kids got sucked into, just to do their school work. 3 beingContinue reading “9 things I did not like about the covid-19 quarantine”
LDSWP: year-long pandemic
It’s the anniversary this week of the World Health Organization declaring the COVID-19 global pandemic, so I went there … and published an interview with a nurse on the LDS Women Project. She lives in Washington, so the virus got to her first. And she got sick from it pretty early also, but fortunately recoveredContinue reading “LDSWP: year-long pandemic”
