Christmas Crazy Patch

By Andrea | January 6, 2014 |

Yes, it IS January, and yes, I AM writing a post about my Christmas Crazy Quilt project.  Not surprisingly, I got busy and didn’t get the quilt finished before Christmas.  So I took a short break to work on another project (it’s a gift, so you have to wait to see it).  But then I…

By Andrea | December 26, 2013 |

I found a great wreath idea on the Midwest Living site last year. It’s a spring wreath using an umbrella, but it gave me the idea to make a wreath from a stocking. My wreath is currently hanging out  on my fake ficus tree at work, but I’ll take it home when the office closes…
