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 […]
I have been a pretty loyal Rowenta customer for years. I go through irons really fast, due to keeping them on for hours at a time, and steaming the dickens out of things. A good iron lasts me a year, maybe two, and then I need to replace it. My last Rowenta, gosh, I bet […]
Gorgeous weather here, and I am trying to surround myself with as many pretty blossoms as I can. I ran out to the garden center (part of my local Ace Hardware store) when they opened at 7:00 AM today, and picked up a trunk full of blossoms. These are only petunias, as we don't get […]
Just a quick note to say all is well, I've just been busy. I was away this weekend visiting family, having a lovely time. Hope to get back in the sewing room today and work on my Blogger Girls BOM blocks for this month! My neighbor's lilac bush has just started to bloom, and is […]
Ok. So I haven't done a post on grooming since, I guess, my home waxing debacle. We are not going to talk about that little incident. But I had something so astonishing happen in regard to my self tanning product, that I just have to share. Maybe over share. St. Tropez is a very high […]
So happy with my elegant Easter tablescape! I finished Joy Luck (pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company), made from the beautiful Little Black Dress fabric collection by Basic Grey for Moda. I quilted it with the wiggle stitch on my Bernina, and am pleased as can be with the results. I had […]
New Year's resolution posts can be boring as sin, so I hope I won't be guilty of that! It is hard to let the new year just come and go without some reflection however, and here is what I have been thinking about. Remember how last year at New Year's so many people were picking […]
Doesn't it seem as though December just flies by? So many things to do, and the days are over before they begin. I have made some time to decorate, but not on the scale to which I normally aspire. That darn baby is just into everything, and all my decorating seems to be about four […]
