Good for you, Kelli! You’re getting a whole lot done. I have the same kind of travel/holiday schedule and am having to kick things into high gear.

About Amy Butler’s In Stitches–I’ve been making many of those patterns in the book and found that I was spending an awful lot of time re-measuring many of the pattern pieces (e.g., I’ve made 4 of the kimono robes for gifts as well as hanging toiletry bags, etc.). So I found a roll of kids’ drawing paper in Walgreen’s and made the pattern pieces (meaning I only had to measure once) using the paper–taping pices of paper together where needed. It’s working so well that I’m doing the same with her other patterns where they also call for measuring on fabric. Now I can just whip out the paper pattern I made and get on with my projects.

Thanks for the link! You have inspired me to get on the ball and finally start my own domestic bliss folder.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Kelli,

Stumbled on your website through “Home at Rome.” Love your site for two reasons: I have been in Africa on hoiday and loved it, and I enjoy all the sewing and baking. You are an inspiration to me getting my Christmas stuff going.

Good for you, domestic goddess! As I mentioned, I also just did some organizing by cleaning out my knitting stash, which sat dormant for years during my oh-so-stressful former job. Liberation feels good! Now that I see what you’re up to besides finding me my sock pattern, I don’t mind if it takes you a while to get around to it

Fabulous! Keep it up! I also love magazines and have 5 folders with clippings that always inspire me when I look through them.

I also like to put my favorite magazine clippings in a binder. I love your blog. Your such an inspiration.

I love that we both have a binder for magazine clippings. I love that we both tear out the same shit from those same magazines for our folders. Crazy? Us? Never.

oy, the magazines… they always get the juice flowing, don’t they?

also, i’m with rosie — totally jealous that you can garden all winter! i just put our garden to bed over the weekend, and tried to be all buddhist about it but instead just felt the sad tug of winter.

best of luck with your impressive to do list!

You are crazy. I’m barely keeping my head above water here, and you have a domestic bliss folder?

I take my hat off to you, Miss Kelli.
