While in Utah for the wedding, we stayed with Nadine &amp; Tom, owners of the fabulous South Jordan quilt shop, Material Girls. Such a fun family! I pulled myself away twice to the shop and picked up fabrics for me,...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/pQSmyzgOEmE" height="1" width="1"/>

It's been a long time since we've attempted a 12-hour road trip with an infant. It all comes back to me so clearly now. We just returned from a week in Utah where we celebrated our niece, Ellie's, marriage to...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/bFDKX2yp1tE" height="1" width="1"/>

Leafy layers of tracing paper with final modifications blanket my studio. When this design is finished, I will have one more print to go. I lay in bed this morning with my eyes closed for half an hour letting impressions...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/3r1JNZ77UTk" height="1" width="1"/>

It was a happy hunt: Laffy Taffy, Starbursts, and Twizzlers a-plenty. It's a chocolate-free tradition—the melting hazard is too high. Thank goodness too, or I might snatch some of Charlotte's spoils. I can resist the rest. Not that there has...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/6k1uC7xZFns" height="1" width="1"/>

We have a HUGE easter egg hunt coming up this morning. Hundreds and hundreds of eggs. Perhaps hundreds of children too. It's a rather fabulous neighbor tradition. My sweetest memory of the hunt was watching Isaac head out onto the...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/oDa_MLQsMPY" height="1" width="1"/>

Look what came in the mail for Charlotte and Elijah. Aunt Laura is too clever. I'm a bit surprised the U.S. Post Office will accept eggs as envelopes. But here's proof. I can't believe Easter is next week already. We...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/qfcLv803K9Q" height="1" width="1"/>

You asked about the pencil shown in this post? This handy tool is called a drafting lead holder or clutch pencil. It contains a thicker core of lead (2mm) than a mechanical pencil (0.05mm to 0.09mm) and must be sharpened...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/Bb0RUn0kBMA" height="1" width="1"/>

I'm in the thick of designing new prints. The one I'm working on right now will probably take me all week—at minimum. This pushes me awfully close to my target date, but the print is gorgeous, so I'm taking the...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/_BmXTmUhrQo" height="1" width="1"/>

The Baileys had a day in the sun—much needed. We dawdled around the Renaissance Festival for a few hours with my sister Julia and her family. Hermione guided us from place to place while Isaac and I juggled the baby...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/kjsdMdV0wBc" height="1" width="1"/>

Here's an investment with guaranteed returns. For $1.00, make a child's day with a box of colorful chalk. Leave the box on her bed with a love note. And that child's charming artwork will bring you far more than $1.00...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/pHnpqoiM8O4" height="1" width="1"/>

It worked! Here is my successful first attempt at homemade greek yogurt. It's empowering to know how to make basic foods like this. In college, I studied up on bread-making and learned all about yeasts, starters and grains while relaxing...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HELLOmynameisHeather/~4/T68yAXfKrY8" height="1" width="1"/>
