We’ve been neglecting IPB Living lately, and for that we’re sorry. We’ve had a good reason though, we swear! Our fabulous friend Patty (in Dallas) was here for a full week of hockey games and photo excursions to New York City, Princeton, Philly, and Ocean Grove. Patty taught us a new trick [...]

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane…
… It’s a post on IPB Living that’s not about gardening or cooking or quilting! Good grief! And what, pray tell, is so earth-shatteringly fabulous to warrant such a ground-breaking post? Why, my new alarm clock, of course!
Meet, the American Innovative Neverlate 7-Day Alarm Clock, aka the Nevernudelatetron 3000.
Isn’t she a beaut?
Here’s [...]

We’re Hammering ‘Em Out Here At Maple Hoo
WOOO HOOOO!!! Another finished quilt!
This one is my Jellygirl quilt, made with Tanya Whelan fabrics (mostly Ava Rose), and I’m excited to report that it took me something like a total of seven weeks to finish. I can’t believe how awesome and quick this craft is! Quilting RAWKS!
I am so [...]

Progress Report: Nest
The first progress report of 2009 is a joyous one! The progress I’m here to report on the quilt top for “Nest” is that… drumroll please… it’s finished! Woo-hoo!
I completed the last long seam last night and pressed it this morning. I’m over the moon with happiness for how it turned out. [...]

The Lengths We’ll Go For Christmas Joy
On Monday of this past week, we discovered the old-school tinsel decorations were up at our shopping center. On Wednesday, we saw the evergreen festoons being strung on the lampposts of Princeton. And on Thursday, I turned the final big corner of my workday commute and was met with a vision of the [...]

Restocking The Stash: On The Road With IPB Living, Chapter 4
Today was the big day — time to do a full-day, deep immersion trip to The Attic. We started things off with a side trip to this lovely, wee desert garden in North Scottsdale (as documented here), then made a quick stop at AJ’s, our old favorite grocery store, for some goodies to bring [...]

Restocking The Stash: On The Road With IPB Living, Chapter 2
Day Two of our stash-restocking adventure dawned bright and early, around 11:30 in the morning. Yes, that’s 2:30 in the afternoon back home, but back home can suck it. We hit the ground running, lolling around in our pajamas and stitching for about an hour, then headed out into the blinding desert heat [...]

Restocking The Stash: On The Road With IPB Living, Chapter 1
Today was the big day — time to hit the road for our “Restocking The Stash” trip out to The Attic in Arizona! After several weeks of giddy anticipation, we were in a full-on state of high-level pommerdoodling when this morning finally rolled around. All that stood between us and our carefully mapped [...]

Pommerdoodling Like The Dork That I Am
One of the downfalls of working at a public library is having to work on Saturdays. It’s particularly a drag where I work, since business is as slow on Saturdays as it is busy during the week (in other words, it’s packed during the week but I’d only talked to five people in the [...]

This Is What We’d Been Planning All Along
So, way back on February 18 we could wait no longer to start gardening and dropped some tomato seeds into little seedling trays.
On March 30 it was unseasonably sunny and warm, so we sat out on the deck and moved the seedlings to bigger peat pots.
On May 3 we transplanted the tomatoes into the garden [...]
