Making Places: Unexpected Pops of Patchwork
http://making-places.blogspot.com/2011/05/unexpected-pops-of-patchwork.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. Unexpected Pops of Patchwork. Like a lot of my fellow design-obsessed twenty-somethings, I go a little crazy for modern decor and super-clean lines. Although I love a good color blocking, I've never been a huge fan of quilting and patchwork. Don't get me wrong, I really admire the skill, patience and craftsmanship that go into intricate, multicolored patchwork pieces, but they often feel a little too precious or whimsical for my taste. This room, featured in House to Home. I would d...

Making Places: November 2008
http://making-places.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. Friday at Home, Except Not. This week for "Fridays at Home," I'm away. Pleasantly ironic, isn't it? I'm visiting my relatives in Germany, but I got a picture before I left. And oh dear, I know, it's an awful picture! Promise to make up for it next week. Anyway, I bought this bag at the market for 10zl (about $3.50), and I've already had to, shall we say, reinforce the stitching at the zipper. But it's perfect for little week-long trips like this! See you next week! Some of the ...

Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Banff Canadian Nat'l Park. It's Wednesday. I'm in Krakow, but haven't had a chance to upload photos to my computer yet. This week's travel photo comes from our camping trip to Banff Nat'l Park in Alberta, CA, from August 2008. Pictured is Lake Louise, named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. Is it not special? Thursday, September 4, 2008. Tuesday, September 2, 2008.

Making Places: February 2009
http://making-places.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. Weak week for travel photos. I really meant to post yesterday. I brought some travel photos on a USB drive to work so I could post. I didn't get to it. So I'm going to re-post a photo from our old blog, Iowa Summer. Monday, February 2, 2009. Making a place to make things. This might be first post I've made here that is really truly relavent to the name. Then I fixed this problem. But he need not have been skeptical. And the finished product:.

Making Places: sewing projects
http://making-places.blogspot.com/2009/02/sewing-projects.html
Sunday, February 1, 2009. One of my goals over winter break was to sew more of my own clothing. I even got a new book, Sew U: Home Stretch. And am attempting to learn how to sew with knits and make my own t-shirts and a knit dress. So far, it's challenging. So I stuck with what I'm more familiar with, and made this skirt. I already love wearing lots of shades of grey at once, so this just makes it easier. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Weak week for travel photos. Making a place to make things.

Making Places: Travel Photo Wednesday - Tuning In
http://making-places.blogspot.com/2010/09/travel-photo-wednesday-tuning-in.html
Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Travel Photo Wednesday - Tuning In. Well, ok. After I committed to blogging again, and then utterly failed to do so, I'm back at it. I have a new camera, I reorganized all of the photos on my computer, I'm ready. I'll (re)start things off with Travel Photo Wednesday. In early August, some family members and I went on a fly-in fishing trip in Canada. We flew in on a fantastic old airplane that landed on the lake. There will be more Canada photos to come, I'm sure.

Thursday, June 26, 2008. I apologize for being such a blog delinquent. I've been doing final exams and papers for my study abroad program.but now I am done! Only with the program classes though, I still have two university courses. Regardless, I will have a lot more free time now, and therefore will go on lots of walks with my camera. I hope to do a series of "My Favorite Places in Freiburg" posts before I leave. First, though, here is Travel Photo Wednesday. Labels: travel photo wednesdays. Taken during...
