Boo! Loenne’s first Halloween!
She dressed up as a . . . . . . . pioneer woman!
Here she is, tired after a long day of picking rocks out of the field.
My little sweetie was six months old yesterday, can you believe it? I can’t. Time squeaks by and yet before I can say “Monday”, it’s Saturday.

So the Butikofer Matriarchs have returned from their time in Finland. They searched high and low for a Laplander bonnet for Loenne and I, but I guess they are hard to find outside of Lapland, which is in the far northern part of Finland.
Did you know that Finland is at the same latitude as the [...]
Where it went, I’m not sure. The past couple of days, I’ve been like- hey! I should write something on my blog! But then I don’t, because it seems that I don’t actually think about anything anymore!
I suppose this is going to be a Seinfeld-esque post about nothing.
Loenne is 2 weeks old now- she has [...]
Guess who decided to show up?
Loenne Prairie was born Thursday April 30th at 7:30pm.
She weighed 9lb 3oz at birth! And was 22 inches tall. She is a substantial baby.
My labour story? I won’t go to into the gorier of the details but it went something like this- I started getting contractions Tuesday night. They mellowed [...]

I got this in the mail this morning-
Word to the mother (me).
I’m going to go rake the lawn. Let’s get this party started!

And here’s the completed baby room-
We didn’t really have a specific theme besides [...]

Okay, enough with the quilting already!!
I’ve got a pretty bad case of ‘pregnancy brain’ these days. Meaning, I can’t concentrate on anything. I’ve got a mile long list of things to do before the baby arrives- selling fall 09, packing up my studio, fastidious cleaning and organizing of my house, making half a dozen casseroles [...]

The sunset side is assembled- I made the blocks a few days ago and have now pieced them together. It’s a little off kilter and the squares don’t really line up, but I pretty much don’t care. It could possibly be described as ‘ugly’. I am hoping for the realm of ’fun ugly’ or, ’so ugly it’s beautiful’.

Today is my birthday! yay! On my list of ‘things to do that would be dreams come true’ is making a quilt. So that’s what I did- well, I started one anyhow.
The most time consuming and difficult part of the day was choosing a pattern and picking the fabrics. I have amassed a large collection of [...]

I can’t remember what it was I was going to do today. I got all distracted and I sewed a little sweater for the baby instead! I altered a commercial pattern for a jumpsuit. The size was marked as small, for a 13-15 lb baby, but it looks huge! Who knows. I would love to [...]
