Friday Favorites – Industrial Chic
My friend Natasha of The Houseful of Nicholes just bought a house, so my social media feeds have been full of updates on her progress of designing and decorating her home. That got me thinking – my husband and I don’t own our own house yet, but wouldn’t it be great to know what style…
Read MoreProject 52 – Not a Morning Person
This week’s Project 52 theme is morning. And let me tell you how much I hate mornings- especially weekday mornings. Mornings are the time of day that you have to get out of a nice warm bed and get ready to go to work. My biggest problem with the morning is probably that it doesn’t…

I have to admit to being a complete slacker and getting almost no sewing accomplished since my last WiP post. I did finish up my mini quilt for the 1st Project Quilting challenge of the season. You can vote for your favorites until 8:00pm CST on Friday, January 16th, 2015. The only other thing that…
Read MoreSteakhouse Mushrooms for Two
One of my husband’s favorite things to have for dinner is a good steak. Unfortunately, I’m not as big of a meat eater as he is. But that’s ok. I’ve found a great solution to make those meals more my style. I add lots of yummy sides. Most recently, I tried out a recipe for…

The new year has started off pretty well for me, at least as far as my quilting goes. I finished Rayden’s baby quilt. I’m almost done with the 1st Project Quilting Challenge. I just need to add my binding to it. And with the help of my MIL, I finally got the impromptu quilt basted.…
Read MoreWhy I Love Marsala
Each year Pantone comes out with the Pantone Color of the Year, and each year we hear all about why people love or hate that color. This year I’ve seen a surprising number of people in the blog-osphere who down right hate Marsala. I have to say that I just don’t get it. Marsala isn’t…
Read More2015 Word of the Year
As the new year starts I’ve been seeing lots of posts again about people’s “Word of the Year.” I’ve always thought that was a great idea and this year I wanted to give it a try. Surprisingly, it’s a lot harder than you would think to come up with a word to help define how…
