So many things to do...: January 2011
http://contrarycolleen.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
So many things to do. Saturday, January 29, 2011. My maternity leave is winding down. I have two weeks left. How fast it has gone.and I took a relatively long leave of 4 and a half months (and by relatively long I mean by US standards, not by the standards of the clearly more enlightened European countries where maternity leave is a year). So what's a girl to do with such little time left? It's amazing how 2 hours of free time seems like so much now. Sunday, January 16, 2011. My latest completion is a qu...

Seamstrix: 3 Months
http://seamstrixart.blogspot.com/2008/02/3-months.html
Bits and pieces of my life as a stay-at-home mom and textile fanatic. Sunday, February 3, 2008. I woke up Friday morning with an insane amount of energy - or was that just the normal amount I haven't felt in a while? In any case, I do believe I've hit my second trimester and besides having to pee every five minutes I'm feeling great. I even managed to clean house AND shampoo the carpet today. Well, okay, only the dining room carpet. Huzzah for the glory trimester! February 4, 2008 at 8:38 AM. I am a marr...

So many things to do...: Welcome to Motherhood
http://contrarycolleen.blogspot.com/2010/11/welcome-to-motherhood.html
So many things to do. Monday, November 22, 2010. Well, at long last the little one has arrived. He's a month old now, and at the risk of sounding cliche, motherhood is infinitely more rewarding and. Challenging than I had ever expected. He's adorable.bright-eyed, cuddly, already smiling and extraordinarily gifted at exhausting me.as babies tend to be. I'm totally in love. I know it won't be long before he's squirming away when I try to hold him, but oh! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I like my garden.

So many things to do...: April 2009
http://contrarycolleen.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
So many things to do. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. I'm loving this weather, despite the fact that having no AC in the house makes me wilt a bit. It's given me spring/summer fever in a very big way. This morning as I walked from my car to the BART train, something in the breeze made me think of camping. I can't wait for camping! Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Spring Planting and Junk Beds. I have one wine barrel that is empty and I haven't quite decided what to put in it yet. The hops are starting nicely.at ...This ...

So many things to do...: September 2010
http://contrarycolleen.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
So many things to do. Sunday, September 12, 2010. I love finishing things. Such satisfaction. I'm the kind of gal that just loves checking items of the to-do list. Even small completions like using the very last of a shampoo bottle gives me a small sense of pleasure. What I'm not. Enjoying however, is finishing off my job at work. It's my favorite month. Well, maybe tied with June.but it's still up there. Autumn! I'm so very excited. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm an ordinary gal living in the SF bay ar...

Seamstrix: Loss, Joy, Freedom and Grace
http://seamstrixart.blogspot.com/2009/03/loss-joy-freedom-and-grace.html
Bits and pieces of my life as a stay-at-home mom and textile fanatic. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Loss, Joy, Freedom and Grace. I can thank my husband for introducing me to Dead Can Dance. The second time we ever met. He was playing the Toward the Within. Album in the apartment and I believe I had to cut a conversation mid-sentence to ask who we were listening to. When I borrowed the CD, I quickly became fond of [not only the entire album, but] one song in particular. Sanvean. March 31, 2009 at 7:51 AM.

So many things to do. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Bathroom Before (several before pics are available in previous posts):. I'm pleased how our little face lift came out. What we did:. Ripped out old shower doors and replaced with a vintage style l-shaped curtain rod. Repaired water damaged plaster. Sanded and painted all the woodwork and cabinet white. Repainted the walls to cover the institutional blue. Replaced the toilet with a new low flow model. Replaced the rotting mirror on the medicine cabinet. I love...

So many things to do...: June 2009
http://contrarycolleen.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
So many things to do. Sunday, June 14, 2009. Finally got around to painting the office. When we moved in this room had dingy walls with holes, rotten windows, old granny curtain rods and the nastiest carpet we'd ever seen. I had originally intended on painting this room green. But I couldn't find a green I liked that wasn't too matchy-matchy with the bathroom, which is right next door. A trip to the Legion of Honor art museum inspired me to consider lavender. I love the new color. It's perfect!
