    @randomknits @gilmae We’re going to the Sunday arvo game. Sitting in the cheapest seats in the outfield…

    @Illdrinn My maternal grandmother is Korean, but typically I didn’t like the good growing up. Now I love it! Amuses her greatly. 🙂

    @gilmae @randomknits I’m fairly certain that I’ve had $4 tickets to see the Cubs at Wrigley before. But then, they usually suck.

    @gilmae @randomknits Crap. I’d been thinking at least SCG was smaller, but no, it has more capacity than Wrigley. *sigh*

    @randomknits @gilmae Wow, so quick!

    Talked to my grandparents for 1st time since stroke. They’re home and he’s doing ok, but grandma sounds so tired. I wish I could help.

    Cabbage Patch Kids wigs for babies go viral – I LOVE THESE. I wonder if I can make one for my sister’s new baby later this year?

    I’m going to suggest the next Guild Camp is hosted at a five-star resort in the Seychelles. Private room? HAVE AN ISLAND.

    @drkknits I’ll see if Ketut is available.

    Man. Sometimes having the end in sight actually makes it even harder to struggle on.

    Once again, @ColettePatterns releases a new sewing pattern and I must buy it immediately. Hawthorn is so pretty!

    @Illdrinn I love Maangchi! The pork bulgogi is a regular fixture at my house.

    @randomknits That is the question. I think I need it.

    @randomknits I was actually thinking about that crazy pink cat fabric. 🙂

    Baseball tickets have been purchased! Baseball! In Sydney! In 9 months!

    @chrisgander Yep, Dodgers vs Diamondbacks. 2 games at SCG next March. Just went on sale! It was in the newspaper last week…

    @chrisgander No idea on teams – I don’t follow it much. Cheapest tix are $70!

    MetaQuilter – Finished!
    What a long, long eighteen months it’s been! Way back at the end of 2011 I signed up for a quilting group through MetaFilter. There were 16 of us in the “adventurous” group, and every month a different person would send out fabric and instructions for making a block. Of course a lot can happen over 16 months, and four of the people ended up dropping out. The pace started to slow towards the end as well, so I finished well after the scheduled end date (and I think I’m still the first one done). Ultimately I ended up making 12 blocks (counting my own) using a lot of different techniques! Check it out…
