WIP Wednesday – A New Machine
I’ve been a big slacker about getting any sewing done lately, what with the new baby ducks, and my utter laziness. But I do still have something to share with you this week- a brand new (to me) sewing machine. This jewel was my birthday gift from my husband. It’s about a month after my…
Read MoreAnother Baby Quilt
It seems like the only quilting I get around to doing lately is making baby quilts for people. I don’t mind that at all, but I have been seriously slacking in the amount of time I put into my sewing projects lately. That’s why I’m glad that my sister requested a make a baby quilt…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
It’s been ages since I’ve written up a WIP Wednesday post. And that’s mainly because I haven’t had any progress to share, but with some recent work to my sewing space (more on that later), I’ve managed to get some work done over the last few weeks. I made up a baby quilt for a…
Read MoreCoffee Talk – Birthday Wishes
My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, so I’ve been giving some thought to things I might like to have for my birthday. In case you missed it, we recently bought a new house, so a lot of these things will be linked to that. Buying a house can be a long,…

Read MoreTenugui by #AnnaInSpain
Anna has made a new accessory and thought (correctly, I might add) that we would all be interested in it. If you’ve ever watched Japanese cartoons, you’ve probably seen women wearing “tenugui”. Guys wear the headband type with slogans, but women wear them when cleaning or gardening, as a head covering plus sweatband plus keeping…
Read MoreOffice Space
My husband was wonderful enough to haul our old bed to the dump last week, and I finally got all most of the boxes moved out of the extra room. If you’re based in Australia and need an extra hand clearing space in your home, check out sydney storage company hollowaystorage. I think it was…
Read More#Project52 – Hobbies
I have several hobbies that I really enjoy doing. One, which you have been seeing a lot of lately is reading. I always seem to have a book in my hand. But I promise that’s not the only thing I do for fun. I love to create, and one of my favorite mediums to work…
