WIP Wednesday
This week is another calm before the storm type week as I wait for the results of voting from last week’s Project Quilting Challenge- Fav Fabric. You can vote for my quilt, and any of the others you like (up to 5 votes) over at Persimon Dreams. I have done a little sewing though. I…
Read MoreProject Quilting – Fav Fabrics
This week’s Project Quilting challenge was super hard. I had to decide what my favorite fabric was. In case you’re new to quilting, this is like asking a librarian what her favorite book is! Many of us have a stash full of beautiful fabrics. Some of them we’ve had for ages because we’re in love…

Read More#NaBloPoMo – Recipe Changes
When I first started cooking and baking food, I had to have a recipe. It’s the main reason I’ve always been better at baking than traditional cooking. My sister has always been good at “a pinch of this, and a dash of that,” but it took me a long time to get comfortable with that…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Buy this one.
While I love to make things when I can, there are few things in life that I feel better about buying. For example: I will never make my own taxidermy pieces. I just don’t have the skill set for that. Though I think one or two well placed pieces would look great in my…
Read More#OurProject52 – From Where I Stand
The world is a frozen wonderland…. The inside of my house is warm and friendly- filled with hot chai latte. And hugs from my husband and the cat. How do things look from where you are? Sharing over at: #OurProject52 at Everyday Eyecandy and Lipgloss & Binky
