Howdy, hey, howdy ho…I’m still here. Life is so full!! I’m striving to fight the good fight although I must say I’ve felt weary and tired but my husband and I are trying our best to keep things in line. Some days we are more successful than others. 🙂 Let’s see, lately I’ve changed my […]
I’ve been garment sewing this year and I have quite a few things to show you. I will start with this simple pair of preppy shorts which I made for Mancub. I’m planning a photo session very soon but my little model man is in bed because he needs his beauty rest to look good […]
If you’re into sewing then I have a perfect quick project for you. It’s a pillow. It seems like the web is buzzing with pillows this spring. This one I made last year but I never shared it with you…so, perfect timing. I love making them because they are easy and an almost instant gratification. […]
Lately I’ve been on an apron binge. I’ve been making them for sweet little girls, especially for birthday party presents. I know I’m competing with Cinderella castles and other fascinating characters but hey, that’s life. My hope however is that these girlies get to make a mess in the kitchen preparing cakes and cupcakes, pancakes […]
Lots of flowers in my camera… …these I bought at the store and they brightened my home …these I got as I recovered from surgery and they brightened my heart …these I got at the craft store (kinda) and I can’t stop making them …any flowery goodness surrounding you?
Another quick project while I’m trying to get things ready as I find myself during the home stretch. I made this nursing cover a little while ago and the hub hub brought it for me to pack. I feel lost this time as far as packing goes. You’re not dealing with a first time mother, […]
Hmm, coming up with directions when you have a finished project in mind isn’t the easiest thing…I have a new appreciation for pattern making. So here is what I’d like to have made for my Cottage Quilting Bee. Imagine a block made out of 2 big triangles (sewn together on a diagonal) which in turn […]
This is a block I’ve been working on for my Cottage Bee. The assignment was to make a square that would represent our idea of patchwork. This was a monster block (just my style) measuring 15.5 inches. Things were chugging along-I even planned it all out, sketched and calculated measurements and I was so proud of […]
Because I couldn’t help myself and I do really, really need a new sewing machine. So I ordered some Flight of Fancy and even though some items were on back order, I’m jumping in… The colors are so vibrant and I think they look just great! So I made sure my cutting supplies weren’ t […]
Have you seen this? Why hasn’t anyone told me about it? It’s Moda’s Arcadia Sanae. Hello, fall quilt! I know, I know, we’re barely into spring but I just love this palette. I can even see it incorporated into a spring quilt. I’ ve got to get me some of this fabric before it’s totally […]
