WIP Wednesday – Duckling Quilt
After having my very own tiny human, I feel like quilting has really been on the back burner for me, but I recently got a chance to get down to my sewing space and finish up the quilt top that is supposed to be my daughter’s baby quilt. Hey – maybe if I’m lucky I’ll…
Read MoreMildred Jane at 11 Months
Mildred is 11-months-old and becoming quite the big girl. She follows the hubs and me around the house, tho for her, crawling is mostly a way to get somewhere so that she can pull up on something and stand. She hasn’t figured out walking yet, but she likes to shake her booty when there’s music…
Read MoreAn Updated Quilt Layout
I’ve had lots of requests recently to use the layout design I originally made for my #DYOSampler Quilt, which became the base for my Communique Quilt. So, I took a little time and made a nice clean (digital) version of the layout for you all. I think this version will be much more useful to…
Read MoreImproving My Photography Skills
I’ve been using a camera for a long time. I started off with 35mm cameras, taking my first photography class as a summer course when I was in middle school, and taking Photography as a project all 10 years that I was in 4-H. I got my 1st SLR (single lens reflex) camera when I…

1st off, thanks to Daenel over at Living Outside the Stacks for bringing The Blended Blog to my attention by sharing her TBB Asks – Holiday Edition. I’m loving what I’ve had a chance to read so far! And I’m super excited to participate in my first TBB Asks Linkup. It’s 15 questions about the…
Read MoreBookish Questions – A Bookish Job?
A book/writing related job that you would love to do? When I was little, I always thought it would be fun to be a librarian, but then I discovered that they don’t just get to sit in the library and read all day. It was real work, and those librarians don’t get to read all…
