#NaBloPoMo – Let’s DIY unless you want to DIFM
I love to DIY (do it yourself). I often take a look a quilts on display in magazines and think “I can make that.”Then I sit down with a pencil and some graph paper to figure it out, or come up with my own variation on the design. You may have seen this before on…
Read More#NaBloPoMo Make It
I’m happy to say that I am participating in my first #NaBloPoMo – that stands for “National Blog Posting Month.” The idea is that each day for the entire month of Feburary, I will be writing one post that is generally about this month’s topic: Make. The idea of writing up a post every single…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Layer it on Thick
It doesn’t matter what season it is, I love to layer my clothes. But with the ridiculously cold weather we’ve been having here lately, being able to have on multiple layers of clothes has been the only thing to keep me from freezing to death. I’ve even been double layering coats! And since I never…
Read More#OurProject52 – Blue
This week’s #OurProject52 is all about blue. It’s probably really weird of me, but the very first thing I think of when I hear the word blue is the song “Shpadoinkle Day” from Cannibal: the Musical. The sky is blue and all the leaves are green. The sun’s as warm as a baked potato. I…
Read MoreBooking It- A Year of Reading
One of the things I am wanting to accomplish this year is to do a little more reading. It’s something I have always loved – even further back than my “Book It” days. I miss Book It. They need a Book It program for adults, where if you read a certain amount, you get something…

Read More#OurProject52 – Guilty Pleasure
I thought long and hard about this week’s topic for #OurProject52. A guilty pleasure is something that you enjoy, but also feel guilty about. For a lot of people this is something like eating junk food, but I decided a long time ago that I wouldn’t feel guilty about eating what I enjoy. For me,…
Read MoreWorks in Progress
This week I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of sewing done, at least as compared to last week. I completed another round of project quilting- a post about my completed project will be up on Friday. And I did some testing with my new flower stitch foot. Apparently I’m not smart enough to use…
Read MoreMy Bookshelves Tell a Story
The Decorista recently wrote a post about decorating your shelves. It had lots of great tips, but the style just didn’t work for me. Maybe my shelves just need to be as cluttered as my mind, but I like to have actual books to read on my book shelves along with my knickknacks. Books I…
