"Tomorrow" and Other Uninteresting Facts.
It is amazing how reluctant these quilt squares are to sew themselves together! Really! It sure would save me a lot of time.
So, actually, nothing interesting from today, although I am planning on attempting it tomorrow. However, something UNINTERESTING that I never realized about myself before i started doing this blog thing, is that I almost CONSTANTLY misspell the word "tomorrow". And I consider myself a good speller, but something about double consonants, man, it just throws me off. You take that to the bank, now, hear?

Pincushion Love
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pAVwPgj9iOU/RdZVMUtfhQI/AAAAAAAAACA/u0KbsuKnGI8/s400/orangepin.jpg)
So today, interesting photo shoot at work, and a minor blizzard in Kansas City, but I want to write about pincushions. Oh, pincushions. in the course of about a week I made six or so of these nice little things, to sell at a craft auction at B's parents church. They were so cute while they lived here, sitting huddled up on a plate on the ironing board, and now they have gone, and some mysterious force has sapped me of the will to make more.

Valentine's Celebrations
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pAVwPgj9iOU/RdUF60tfhOI/AAAAAAAAABo/JJr179taRA8/s400/bottleflowers.jpg)
Ahh..is there anything better than a really good thrift store find? Especially one in bulk? Yesterday I managed to visit my hometown and just could not resist going in my favorite Salvation Army Thrift Store. I got there at about 4:30 and at when they shut the lights off at 4:55 I was scrambling, on the floor, to pick up as many 10 cent zippers as i could throw into my cart. I must have gotten 150 or so, because, seriously, 10 CENTS!! I will never buy zippers again. Pictures to come soon.

I also scored this WONDERFUL fabric that I think will become both a message board covering and an apron. So, Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Somewhat productive sunday and retail love.

Yesterday was a fairly productive day, Kansas City was pretty gray but not nearly as cold as it has been, and everything just seemed to fall together perfectly. Husband and I stayed home in the morning and watched HGTV real-estate programming, and then in the afternoon our neighbor came over to burn a CD of Brazilian music on our computer. It was was lazy and meandering and fun, and I managed to finish sewing the patchwork tote bag I started last week (see below), as well as laying out the squares for the baby blanket I'm making (see above).

Last night we went to a new church that both B and I are REALLY excited about- we gushed all the way home, which wasn't a short drive, as we tend to get lost whenever we cross the Kansas/Missouri border. Oh, Kansas, you are a treacherous, treacherous state.
Tonight was far less productive, but we did manage to get out to Target, because I was dying to get my hands on some of the new Proenza Schouler GO line. I purchased a couple of shirts and held out on a pretty good dress, because I seem to have noticed that while I love to buy dresses, the very seldom ever get worn... there's a special section of my closet where they go to stylishly languish.
All right, I'm getting ridiculous. Enough for now.
