Why oh why have I left things so late? What was I thinking? It is November and my son in law is asking me what holiday items I am going to sell in his shop during November and December. Can I bring a few things in for next weekend? Good question. Oh dear oh dear […]
Here is $900 worth of wool I bought for my new wool working hobby. I'm kidding, it didn't cost quite that much. The colors of these hand dyed wools are so gorgeous it is hard not to pick up the little bundles of strips when you see a nice collection. That Autumn mix collection was […]
I just have to share this fun tutorial with you all. I saw it on Pinterest, believe it or not, and just had to make one. This little project was so fun and fast, you can be sure I will be making lots more of them. Seriously, watch this video, featuring Lori Holt of Bee […]
I've been bit by the Mug Rug Bug. These little drinks coasters make such great gifts, and are so easy to whip up. Yesterday I got up at the crack of dawn and got started on making five sets of four coasters. I worked on them for about six hours and completed 20 patchwork blocks […]
This week is just getting away from me already and it barely started! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. I did! I missed the BOM Rehab Monday post yesterday. So sorry!! Maybe I can get two blocks made this week for next time. My son in law opened up his new wine tasting […]
I've been so crafty this week! These are sixteen mug rugs I made for my son in law's new wine tasting room. Not to be used by the guests, but to be sold in sets of four. I plan to make lots more, and may do some sets of Drunkard's Path. Which would either be […]
I've been making zippy bags galore of late, as you can see from my photo above. I think my favorites are the little eyeglass cases! I have also made cosmetics bags in two sizes, large and small. What great gifts these will make! Wouldn't a set of all three bags make a nice presentation? If […]
In between minding a fussy baby, I have managed to get in some sewing time. Thanks largely to the use of an electronic baby monitor that allows me to sew down in my studio and hear Evangeline if she stirs from her nap. Great invention. How did we ever manage without these devices that are […]
What a lovely day I had yesterday. I hung out in my studio a good part of the day, puttering with this and that. No deadlines, no pressures, just futzing with whatever my heart led me to do. Since I am working on my Fig Tree Dresden Plates, I decided I needed a thread catcher […]
Thanks for all the pep talks yesterday! Determined to shake my fit of blahs, I ventured out to the local yarn shop for a pick-me-up. Of course I saw something fun that I wanted to try! Sometimes retail therapy is just what the doctor ordered. The shop had a new assortment of novelty yarns and […]
