After I shared how I folded "larger cuts" of fabric (one yard to six yard cuts) on carboards, many of you have inquired how I store the smaller cuts of fabric I own. Well, those fat quarters and smaller cuts (half yard and less) are stored in color coded plastic tubs out in my garage. […]
I 'd like to share some more with you about my recent organizing activities in my sewing room. I am always interested to hear about how fellow sewers set up their space, so hopefully my posts on the subject will be informative for some of you as well. I have had this dresser in my […]
Here is my newly reorganized stash cupboard! I have been folding fabric on 7 x 10 1/2 inch comic book boards for days. I bought three packs of 100 cardboards for $33 on amazon.com, and went through 200 plus a few. I have plenty left for more fabric, but seeing what I have on hand, […]
Just a quick note to say my computer is in the repair shop and I am forced to rely on the kindness of others for computer time this past week. I hope to get my laptop back today, with any luck and be back to sharing what I've been up to tomorrow. I've been folding […]
I promise this is the last post on fall decorating. I just can't seem to resist the cute little mini pumpkins when I go to the grocery store. I mean really? How cute are these little guys? There are several decorating blogs I enjoy visiting, and the trend this fall seems to be decorating in […]

I am so excited about a new project I am beginning, perfect for late summer/early fall. I can't tell you all about it just yet, as I hope to be sewing along with a couple of friends, and haven't conferred with them as to when we are going to officially start sharing the details. This […]
The creepy crows are making another appearance on the living room mantel. I just love those guys, a Pottery Barn find of a few years back. I may love them, but the rest of the family, not so much. I think they add just the right autumnal touch to my seasonal decorating scheme. I came […]
As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I had some big changes occur over the late spring and summer, one the biggest of which was that I moved. On the whole, that was an excellent change, as I never really loved the house I was living in. It was too small and rather ordinary, […]
Well, hey there. Welcome back to my blog! Due to a lot of big changes going on around here this summer, I have had to take a fairly long break from both sewing and blogging. Most of the changes have been good ones, and the rest we will all adapt to in time. The most […]
