A cat, a quilt, a dirty mirror, and a cake.

Yesterday was leap day. My father would have celebrated his 18th birthday.

I made a cake to celebrate, a very tiny three-tiered cake. Perfect for two people. Behold, my very own cake wreck:


Ugly, I know. But it tasted amazing, and that's what counts, right?

The rest of my life has been routine.

I have a lazy cat with sharp claws.


A dirty mirror.And I've started on my very first quilt.

I'm anxious for spring.

  3. Hey, look at me, scrolling back through your entries a day late and a dollar short!

    Your quilt is *beautiful*. I've never seen one that style before!

  4. Why thank you! It's called a Cathedral Window, Mel! It's a lot of folding and ironing, and only a few moments of sewing.

    Here's a tutorial if it's something you'd be interested in trying: http://hyena-in-petticoats.blogspot.com/2007/08/cathedral-window-quilt-tutorial.html
