Quilt Progress

By Andrea | November 12, 2011 |

I’ve started working on my quilt again.  Yes, it’s been a while, but thanks to the wonderful ladies down at SewTech in Evansville, I now have the correct kind of bobbin for my machine and can adjust my own bobbin tension.  Apparently it’s not forbidden to do that after all. But, back to my quilt.…

Creativity is Messy

By Andrea | November 10, 2011 |

Creativity is messy, and I am very creative… but that’s not an excuse for not being able to use any of the space in my house, for the piles of stuff collecting on all of the horizontal surfaces. Solution? Clean and organize. Matt has been very helpful with this process so far.  We’ve still got…

Time to Redecorate?

By Andrea | August 5, 2011 |

It’s been a while since I’ve done any major redecorating in the house… actually I haven’t redecorated since I moved in with Matt (when we got married). That means I’ve been living with the same decore for a year and a half! It’s horrible… I know. On the plus side, the plaid couch is going…

As many of you know from my last post, I’m working on making some jewelry pieces from my grandmother’s peacock feathers.  I’m thrilled with how the pieces are coming together.  I got another 5 done, and due to several requests I’m posting photos here.

Peacock Feather Jewelry

By Andrea | July 13, 2011 |

Peacocks are beautiful creatures, the male with it’s blue and green tail feathers spread wide.  When I was little, grama and grampa had a neighbor across the road who kept peacocks (and peahens).  One of my favorite memories was setting at a window watching the birds, when they came over to eat my grama’s flowers visit. …
