Medicine and Motherhood

I'm not sure how this relates to laundry, but the mixture of motherhood, art, humanities and medicine about perfectly describes my life. I love this blog I've found called Literature, Arts and Medicine Blog, from NYU. I found the blog through another blog, called MedGadget, which is currently hosting awards for best medical blogs. Of course, Stanford Medical School has a blog, Scope, which is a finalist in the Best New Medical Weblog category. Could this be another interpretation of the term "going viral"??


Since Scope's current article is about antidepressants and lactation, that definitely qualifies as a Laundry Songs topic. More art coming soon (when I'm not working...)

I'm sorry, I just think this is strange. This is not what we mean when we talk about work life balance!

Looking for Crochet Pattterns

My brother's wife is expecting their second son -- oh, any moment. I'm crocheting a blanket. It needs to be quick, and pretty, and soft. All my books and patterns are still in boxes. And, I'm not about to buy more, as I'm hopeful the internet will offer up sweet free crochet pattern treasures. Look what I found!!!

Attic24 "Brighten Your Day" is a great blog and Lucy has a gorgeous pattern for making a ripple blanket.


I found Lucy's blog from the Whip It Up site, a great collection of all kinds of craft stuff from Australia. The world is full of women who love to let color and texture through their fingers day after day.

Still looking, though, as none of these is exactly what I want right now. I'll be trying that ripple pattern, though, later. I promise.

And, here's more! I've got to concentrate on finding a pattern and stop finding cool new blogs and websites. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the cutesy nature of the names and crafts here, not completely my style, but oh so so pretty and photographed so beautifully -- I am inspired! Posie Gets Cozy. Look at her photos! (which i have not asked her permission to copy so will not, dangit.)

Clothespins for Christmas

Patti bought me clothes pins for Christmas. Actually, they were a gift for Stella's birthday. It's been a tough tough season. Today is January 1, 2010. I'll be 50 later this year. Time to get moving!

I'm posting a photo a friend of mine (again, a friend of Stella's really) took of laundry on the line in Cuba. It was her 40th birthday. Thanks, Ellen. Hope you have a good year!
