Boob-Ha-Ha

I know what you’re thinking. She makes jelly. She’s running this Boob-Ha-Ha thing. She occasionally writes on her own blog. Does Robin ever sleep?

No. I’ve decided I don’t need sleep. It’s for the weak who have nothing better to do. Granted, it’s easy to say that at midnight-thirty, after the two-hour nap I took this afternoon. A nap I took after baking a cake from scratch! With a three-year-old’s help!

Anyway, if I were home, I might be sleeping by now. Most likely I’d be reading. But I’m not home. I’m minding Beqi’s young one, who’s sleeping at the other end of the couch.

That’s right. I make jelly, organize auctions, blog, make cakes from scratch with the help of a three-year-old, naps, and I got Little Eddie, The Child Who Never Sleeps, to sleep.

I rule.

I need a blanket. Like the Ice Ice Baby Quilt.
(You know, I’m starting to feel like Elaine on Seinfeld when she wrote for that horrible catalog, trying to come up with clever ways to segue into merchandise descriptions. Sadly, I often feel like Elaine. Anyway.)

This comes from my pal Allison, proprietor of Squaresville. Since I love Allison’s storytelling skills (she’s also an English teacher), I’ll let her tell the tale behind this quilt:

The beauty of this quilt is its genesis. I had it
planned out on graph paper, but then El Ice Storm 06
hit, and I had to put it together at my MIL’s house.
So, I wasn’t able to lay the blocks out and rearrange
them if they clashed. It turned out fine, and has many
happy memories of rockin’ out in the MIL’s kitchen
with her and her Best Hits of the 70’s CD. “Summer
breeze, makes me feel fine, blowin’ through the
jasmine in my miiiiind…” Good times.

Thus the name “Ice Ice Baby”. It’s appropriate, since Wendy happens to be the only remaining Vanilla Ice fan in existance.

60″ wide and 84″ long-ish.It is a summer spread-no batting. The backing is
lightweight upholstery fabric.

Let’s start the bidding at $40.$101.

Allison’s also offering the chance for one lucky bidder to win a gift certificate of sorts to her Etsy store. The winner will get to choose either one pair of potholders or one oven mitt. Bidding on the Squaresville faux gift certificate starts at $15 $26.
