Room reboot #1: office

Scott, bless him, offered to come up for a few days around New Year's, and we've been busy creatures during that time. The New Job™ means I work out of the house, but the bad part? I didn't really have a good workspace for me, my phone, and my laptop.

We needed to fix that, but doing so meant that we needed to tear down not one but TWO corner desks, combine two computers into a single work station, put in shelving, and blah and meow and etc.

Good news: we're mostly done.

Mitzvah

Mitzvah is done. This quilt contains my handiwork, but is not mine; the pattern, fabric choice, and intention were all Jennifer's mother's. All I did was finish it, and in some ways ... set a little piece of the universe right. See domesticat.net/quilts/mitzvah for the story. Suggestion: have tissues.A debt, repaid

Epic, chilly journey

Stick with me here. You'll read the first few paragraphs here and wonder how in the world this is going to have a happy ending, but ... it does. I promise.

I have struggled to name this quilt, as well as to write about it. It goes without saying that 2011, thanks to Jeff's accident, was ... hell, let's pick a few adjectives:
