Triskit
April 28th, 2008
Life has been so busy, nutty and hectic… Triskit’s arrival was pure sunshine! All I want to do these days is stock up on cans of pork-n-beans, podcasts of Frosty, Heidi & Frank and coffee… unplug my phone, disconnect my computer, disable my doorbell - and plant myself in front of my sewing machine. And take lots and lots of pics of Triskit.
Feeling very Ted Kazinski-ishy… but without all the creepy bomby stuff. Fabric is my ammo - that makes it ok, right? Anyone care to join me? We can make it a quilt retreat! Sigh.

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
i like the ted comment and fabric is your ammo… that is classic! i know the feeling but i am holed up here in the house cause it is still so feaking cold…bundled up to walk and get the mail, i thought it was february… of course i had zories on without socks, makes for a faster walk, cant wait to get back in the house where the heat is. criminy, its almost may and it is barely 28 outsided. spring?!!! thats what i keep hearing but it is a little slow getting here in da UP this year. but i will not whin, i will not, well, okay, just a little tiny bit. dolly is cute. i am going back upstairs to make my real life doll, grand daughter victoria, some “sun” dresses that she can wear all year long on the sunny westside of kauai……..
April 28th, 2008Girl, I’ll be RIGHT over with ammo! :) Yeah, I wish. A quilt retreat sounds so incredibly awesome. Your new arrival is cute, but the eyes kind of scare me on those dolls. tee hee Her dress is adorable, and I’m sure she’ll have more soon, since her mommy is such a sewaholic. Have fun makin’ stuff for and takin’ pics of your little chick.
April 28th, 2008Triskit has some scary eyelashes there, and she’s giving me kind of a scary look, I think she has it in for me. I’m going to have to watch my back on the visit.
Less than a month!!!!!
April 28th, 2008I love it “fabric is my amo” Ok I’m going to be quoting you for a long time Monica. Love it.
April 28th, 2008I’d like to join you on your retreat! I am feeling the same way right now. And seeing your photos of sweet Triskit made me remember that I bought myself a fabulous Pullip last Fall… Papin… and I never gave her a proper introduction. :( I am such a bad doll mommy. I saved and saved to get her, then drooled on photos all over Flickr, then finally took the plunge and bought her, then she arrived and that was it. :( UGH! I gotta take her out and do a photoshoot… if only it wasn’t HAILING outside right now. Yes, you heard right, we have HAIL in Illinois and it’s almost May. UGH! I need an escape from this madness!!!!
April 28th, 2008Effing cute!!! Gawd I want me a cracker right now, I mean Triskit! LOL!!! You’re killing me with her cuteness. I bet, you can use her to hypnotize people. I dare yah!
Quilt retreat sounds great. Give me 6 months notice in advance ok. I gotta clear it with my boss at work and Sweetie. I’ll bring the girls.
April 28th, 2008She’s beautiful, Monica!
April 28th, 2008Ok Monica….when is the retreat?
April 28th, 2008Triskit is sooo cute!! See you soon!
Oh I’d love a quilt retreat in your home town.. give me 6 years to save up for the airline ticket! LOL

April 28th, 2008who likes hanging out with herself and her sewing machine a LOT..
Welcome home baby girl!!! Your mother is AWESOME!!!!!!! And Monica - I’m packing my bag for the retreat as we speak:)
April 28th, 2008Ted Kazinski-ish - you crack me up!
I’d love to join you, but you’d have to come over and crack the whip! (I am so not motivated…)
April 29th, 2008Inquiring minds want to know … can Triskit sew???
April 29th, 2008I’d totally come to your quilt retreat! Count me in!!! I need to get out of town…this crazy cold weather is making me batty!!
Speaking of quilt retreat……..
I was at Bell Tower Quilt Works (Corvallis, MT) over the weekend (remember them?) and told them that I found your blog and that you gave them a shout out! Sally was thrilled and told me what a nice person you are! I think it was cool that you came all the way over here to Montana to do one of our local retreats!
Hope to meet you someday :)

April 29th, 2008Count me in, Ted! Nothing I’d like better these days, than to sit around with quilting queens and the hum of busy sewing machines!!
April 29th, 2008Fabric is my ammo, too! Shall we “shoot” each other? What fun!
April 29th, 2008Trisket is a cutie-pie, but her eyelashes are a bit much for me. She looks rather evil - bwahaha! I think she would keep us all in line, don’t you?
RETREAT !!! I’ll bring the martinis and cupcakes !!! Can you pick me up at the airport? I’ll be the one wearing the “I Love Lucy” pj’s and the matching blue sleep mask with the blue furry trim.
… oh, and congrats on the arrival of Trisket !!! I’m not sure if I’m jealous or scared of the eyelashes…….
April 29th, 2008Congrats New Mommy!! And does she look like you??
I enjoyed your post but didn’t get the pork and beans comment. You like canned pork & beans?? Maybe you should ge some Beano too! hee, hee

Wow, I was just thinking the same thing today while I was in my room sewing little pincushions. I could just stay in here and not come out. Let them scream and beat on the door. I don’t care.
April 29th, 2008Right on. I’m with you, I want to disconnect fromt e world, and it is totally OK to do that sometimes, ya know? I don’t even own a Blythe yet, but I want one. Where do I start, eBay? what do you think?
April 29th, 2008She is adorable…. I like the big eyes! I will be at any retreat you host. That is just what I need….Moniqua! Take care…L
April 30th, 2008I really don’t get the doll obsession but I still love you anyway. Just as I’m sure you love me even though I don’t get the doll thing, right?
RIGHT?!
April 30th, 2008Congrats! I love the name Triskit…
April 30th, 2008In a previous message I think you and I discussed the 12 inch version…What size is Triskit? My husband is suppose to travel to Japan in June and I am hoping he will be able to find one of each a small and large Blythe…
ahh nothing like a new arrival!! Did you see finally Bill Maher had a good show and figures it was his last until Aug! I wonder what happened, maybe the strike just screwed everything up but he better have better guests on in Aug or I am watching movies on Friday nights!!
April 30th, 2008Trisket is adorable. So glad she brought a ray of sunshine to your world this week. I have fabric ammo and I know how to use it. I’ll be right over…
