Stephanie Smith, Katie “scout” Bachler and I are organizing a homesteading fair. I’m very excited for it.

I just finished two toddler-sized tied quilts for my friend Jeannie’s Earthroots’ Festival Fundraiser Auction, to be held in Laguna Hills this Sunday. I’m on schedule to meet my goal of 10 quilts this year.

One of my mini quilts is up for sale on the Alzheimers Art Quilt Initiative website. $20 and she’s yours.
I signed up to make 6 mini quilts for them in the next six months, and this is the first. Amazingly, the sale of all these mini quilts over the years has funded 14 entire studies.

Just a reminder that I’ve moved. New post about a new quilt up at alderrr.com.
I moved.

I signed up to make 6 mini quilts in the next six months for the Alzheimers Art Quilt Initiative. I was inspired by Bill Volckening, who blogs enthusiastically about the project, and by Andrea Balosky, who has made many great quilts for the project.
The quilts must be smaller than a priority mail envelope (9 x 12” or less) and have a mechanism for hanging on the back. They will be sold or auctioned via the website to fund Alzheimers research. These are my first two.
Belated bow ties update: I posted this to instagram a while back, but haven’t posted it here yet.
It’s toddler quilt sized. I’d like to go bigger, but I’m not sure what to add.
My Christmas presents finally arrived in Vancouver.
The bottles have lavender and benzoin essential oils in them, and are meant to be mixed with high proof grain alcohol or vodka to make boozy deodorant for my bros. Only, you can’t mail alcohol, they don’t sell high proof grain alcohol in BC, and the highest proof vodka readily available is 80, which is 40% alcohol by volume. 750 ml of Bacardi 151 is $35, down here I can get it for less than half the price, not to mention the $3.99 bottles of perfectly drinkable blush wine.
Living in BC, it seemed true that wine cost $10 a bottle to make and sell, and anything higher than 40% alcohol was outrageously strong and would probably do instant damage. Which turns out not to be true. But, excepting my foiled tincture and deodorant making, maybe a harmless illusion.
Are there fewer alcoholics in BC? Or are the alcoholics better off because they have to spend a lot more to get drunk? Do they spend less money policing drunks than California, per capita? I don’t know.
All of which reminds me of attitudes around gun control too, of course.
