modish & us

We have a special announcement about our studio/guest room, which is featured on the wonderful Modish blog today in the Handmade Spaces section. We got chills when we saw it. Thank you so much Jena!

sew many choices

She: "Purl Patchwork is a store we both love, but for different reasons."
He: "I like how they remember us when we go there, or if I call to buy you a gift certificate."
She: "Me, too. It is the nicest shop in every way and so pretty."
He: "Plus, you can get a lot for about $10 - 4 quarter yards of 4 different fabrics."
She: "Very good. It's also special because I took my first quilting class there a few months after my Mom passed away. I was very sad, but made the happiest looking quilt. And, I finished it."
He: "She would have been proud of you."
She: "Yeah. We liked to make things and watch shows where people did the same. I miss that."

mr. cool

We are joining in with Allsorts for a Post A Day In May by coming up with things we both love from Steve McQueen to Pickles. So, here goes -

He: "First up is Steve McQueen."
She: "He was so handsome and macho - hubba hubba."
He: "Calm down. He was an American original and totally authentic."
She: "Whenever we watch him, we feel cool. Except for the Magnificent Seven when he wore a neck scarf. That was distracting."
He: "Bullitt is my favorite - vrooom, vrooom."
She: "There's a blooper in that car chase scene through San Francisco you know?"
He: "Who cares, it's awesome when those bad guys blow up and the Mustang is so cool."
She: "Agreed. Cars don't sound like that anymore."

a post a day in may?

She: "Hey, Jenny who writes the wonderful Allsorts blog has started a Post A Day In May to rev up her creative mojo. Remember, I was complaining about that very thing the other day?"
He: "Do I? What do we have to do?"
She: "Each day we create a new posting."
He: "Hmmm ... that sounds hard. Assuming we're amusing at all, I don't know about every day. Can you do it since you're the blogmeister and creative genius?"
She: "Aww shucks - you're so nice to me. I think so. I have an idea for what we can do and have the first one started."
He: "Ok, I'm in - watcha got?"

wha' happened?

He: "Don't even think about it!"
She: "I can't believe you did that! I'm going to write about it."
He: "No you're not!"
She: "Yes I am. Watch me type - He: ..."
He: "Hold it right there - I've got this coupon you gave to me."
She: "Already?"
He: "Yep, let me remind you what it says ..."
She: [Drat! I should have never given him those coupons, but it was the only way I could convince him to go along with this "adventure".]
He: "My Lips Are Sealed : This "incident" will be kept private in order to avoid further humiliation."
She: "Well ok, but you only have 11 more, so make sure you want to use it now."
He: "I'm sure."
She: "Actually, family and friends of someone who decides they're going to share personal stories with the rest of the world on a blog should demand something like those coupons. You wouldn't believe what people write about and photograph."
He: "Like the shower head?"
She: "Dude, you ain't seen nothing yet!"

take her away

She: "Oh man. Except for the laundry and ironing I did, I've been so useless the last few days."
He: "How come?"
She: "I don't know, I've lost my mojo. And, I've been obsessive about writing this blog for you, me and Erin (hahaha)! Plus, I've been spending a lot of time reading other people's blogs. It's addictive."
He: "Didn't you get that whatchamacallit to help sort that stuff out?"
She: "Google Reader. Yes, it helps, but it's kind of like the blog mafia. Once you think you're current, there's another updated blog in the folder."
He: "As long as you're not spending too many $$."
She: "Well, one leads to the other."
He: "Uh oh. Slowly put the mouse down and step away from the computer."
She: "You didn't read me my rights."
He: "Ok, you asked for it: you have the right to remain silent [yes!], ..."
She: "What about my phone call?"
He: "Ok."
She: "Gotta quarter? I'm tapped out."
He: "Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law [mine, yes again!]."
