#OurProject52 – Out of Focus
Do you ever feel out of focus? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately, and I know it’s been seeping into the blog. I can’t remember the last time I had a finished sewing project to share with you. Ok, I can remember when it was, but let’s just say it was a while ago. Instead…
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#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…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Handmade Clothes
I love handmade clothes. I’ve even made a few for myself. But I have one problem with making my own clothes- I can never get the finish the way I want. The outsides always look great, but my inside seams ravel. I think I need a serger, unless you have another, less bulky way to…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Creative
I’ve always liked to think that I am creative, but the more I think about it the less creative I feel. I do a lot of projects that fall within the creative realm, but I more often feel as creative as I’d like to be. That means I don’t feel like I should call myself…

I’m the type of crafter who needs to see what my project will look like before I get started, so I often spend a lot of time in the planning stage mapping out what my projects will look like before I get started. But of course, that can’t always be the case. There are times…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Happy
I used to spend a lot of my time trying to make other people happy. Then I discovered something- you can’t make everyone happy. Especially if you want to be happy too. So now I just do my crafting projects for me. No special orders or requests and if you’re lucky enough to get one,…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Mistakes
If you’re anything like me, then you are always making mistakes in your projects. When I’m quilting, I usually just work with the mistakes, making them part of the quilt, though I will rip out seams when I forget to sew right sides together. I’m surprisingly good at sewing fabric together the wrong way, but…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Why make the bed?
Seriously, why make the bed? You’re just going to get back in it in a few hours. Now, I do occasionally make the bed- but that’s only when I change the sheets. I just don’t see the point otherwise. The mess the sheets are in when I get up in the morning is exactly how…
