#NaBloPoMo – Like it was in 3D
Because of my choice in college degrees, I’ve had access to 3D technology for a long time. In college, we used 3D scanners that would scan and collect data from 3d objects and create a digital 3D model that could be manipulated for animation. Of course, now things are going the other way, you can…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – The coolest project I’ve ever seen…
I love going to craft fairs. My mom and I try to go to at least one together every fall. There are always tons of things to see while you’re there; jewelry, wreaths, woodworking, clothes. In recent years we’ve begun to see more and more people bringing in things to sell that obviously aren’t hand…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Just a touch of love.
I’m a big fan of surrounding myself with things that make me happy. At the office my walls are covered with art prints and reproduction comic book covers. The bright colors are a necessary break from staring at code all day. While at home, I surround myself with things I find a bit more calming.…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Never make that again.
Today’s prompt for #NaBloPoMo was to talk about a dish I’ve attempted to make that ended in disaster. As soon as I saw this, I knew it needed to be about the time I attempted a seafood casserole. It was the 1st year my husband and I were married, and I was attempting a new…
Read MoreProject Quilting – Orphan Blocks
Today was supposed to be another #NaBloPoMo post, but I figured that talking about a finished quilt is a perfectly good reason to postpone it until tomorrow. Instead, I wanted to share with you my finished project for this week’s Project Quilting Challenge. So without further ado, I present to you “Annie.” This week’s theme…
Read More#OurProject52 – Motion
Motion is something that I’ve always had difficulty capturing, so I was glad to see it as the theme for this week’s #OurProject52 photo prompt. This week was also a very convenient week for the motion theme, as I was at the Indiana Farm Bureau Young Farmers conference and there is a pedal pull for…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Cheesy Chicken Croissant Pockets
One of my least favorite things to do is to make dinner. It’s not that I don’t enjoy cooking. It’s that my husband can’t ever give me a straight answer about what he wants for dinner. I get a lot of “I don’t know.” and “I’m not hungry yet.” It’s hard to make dinner when…
Read More#NoBloPoMo – WIP Wednesday
We interrupt your regularly scheduled #NoBloPoMo for a WIP Wednesday update. With the issues I’ve been having with my machine tension lately, I’ve not gotten much sewing done in the last couple weeks, but this is a Project Quilting week, so I needed to get some sewing time in. This week’s theme was UFOs and…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Where did my crafty go?
Over the last couple years I have found myself working on more fabric based projects, things like quilts and clothes. There certainly isn’t anything wrong with that, but I sometimes wonder where the rest of my crafty went. The last non-fabric craft project I made was my Raku Monk Wreath. I love how it came…
