#OurProject52 – Centered
I love asymmetry, so centering things has always been hard for me. Even if my design sense tends toward grouping display items in odd numbers. I did manage to find a few things around the office that were centered though, at least if you looked at them from the right angle. I still think that…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
I feel like a slacker because I’ve hardly gotten anything done on my mini quilt since last week. The only thing I did get done was the hand embroidery. But at least my little baby whale is cute! What are you working on this week? Sharing over at: WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced, Let’s Bee…

I don’t have any kids, so I don’t take those back to school photos that most people do, but working at a university, I do have the opportunity to take some photos of the students when they get back to campus. These photos were taken after freshman orientation, so many of these are new students.…
