#OurProject52 – Out of Focus
Do you ever feel out of focus? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately, and I know it’s been seeping into the blog. I can’t remember the last time I had a finished sewing project to share with you. Ok, I can remember when it was, but let’s just say it was a while ago. Instead…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
Sewing has been slow going this week. I just haven’t felt inspired to do much. But I did get a couple more eye spy blocks finished. They are coming along nicely, though there are no where near enough yet. The most blocks I have of any one color are blue. There are 5 of those…
Read MoreBook It
4 months into my goal of reading more this year, and I’m discovering many amazing books I never would have chosen otherwise. (You can see the goals for my reading list on the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar.) I’ve been reading so much, that I had to re-arrange my shelves in the living room to…
Read MoreFree J.D. Salinger Printable
Everyone seemed to enjoy my last free printable, so I thought I would make you all another one. This one has a more grungy feel and features a quote from J.D. Salinger. As with the last print, I am making this one available to you in several other color variations. Do you like to use…
Read More#OurProject52 – Sun Flares
This week’s #OurProject52 photography challenge was rather difficult. Not because photos of sun flares are hard to take, but because the sun has been playing hide and seek all week. That meant that most of my attempts at catching a sun flare this week have turned out as more of a sun glare – taken…

The big project theme this week has been cleaning things up. When I started my sewing area was such a mess that I couldn’t even see my sewing machines. They’re visible now, but I’m still not done with the cleaning. I’ve also been doing a bit of re-arranging in the living room making a home…
Read MoreHandmade Jewelry
One of my favorite online bloggers, Daenel of Living Outside the Stacks, recently shared some fabulous jewelry from Sloan & Themis. I absolutely love their products, and they inspired me to get out some of my old jewelry supplies and make a few bracelets. Before I did so though, I decided to reach out to…
Read More“A Year from Now” Free Gallery Printable
I’ve been looking around for some gallery wall artwork recently, and I came across a cool old typographic poster that read: “A year from now what will I wish I had done today?” This seemed like the perfect poster to add to my gallery wall since I celebrated my 30th birthday on Wednesday. The poster…
Read More#OurProject52 – Macro
I turned 30 yesterday – birthday selfie time! and as I get older I find myself more interested in the details than in the big picture. Maybe that’s why I love shooting macro photos. Getting up close to things makes for some great textures and unexpected views. Do you find yourself taking photos of details?…
