Project 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#OurProject52 – In My Cup
Today, as I write this, what’s in my cup are the bottom dregs of a cuppa’ hot chocolate from Holy Grounds, the campus coffee shop that sells Starbucks brand coffee products. It’s a bit of a treat for me to go in to Holy Grounds for coffee, one I’ve been getting too much lately considering…

Yet another week has gone by with my regular sewing machine in the shop. It will be 3 full weeks on Saturday. But the good news is, that gave me a reason to talk my husband into actually getting my Featherweight oiled. So, I’ve been using it to create this week’s Project Quilting challenge quilt.…

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
Read More#NaBloPoMo – I got this!
I’m always looking for ways to do things myself when I can. It’s not that I think everything should be a DIY project, but that I seem to have very expensive taste. My pinboards are full of things I love that I think I could hack. It’s also much less expensive to make something myself…
