Are you wondering what to give along with your Microwave Bowl Cozies? You know, to round out the gift? Well, you could give a bowl. Seriously, why not? I got these nice heavy white ones at Crate and Barrel. They are on clearance right now for $2.97! You can find comparable bowls at lots of […]
Have you been caught up in the Bullet Journal craze? In a nutshell, bullet journalling is all about tracking your habits, making lists, planning for the future, and writing down anything that is important to you. It is a combination of keeping a journal or diary, plus a calendar of your activities. It combines creativity, […]
Yesterday was a great mail day. I had ordered several items and wouldn't you know, they all showed up on the same day. I am excited to share with you my new notebook (above), which I ordered from Erin Condren. This company is best known for their great planners/calendars, which I have enjoyed the […]
You cannot have too many fall themed table toppers in my opinion. So I started another one. This is Rhubarb Crisp, a design by Jo Morton. Over the weekend, before my mechanical problems occurred, I got a grand start on the project. I got my ten sawtooth stars made, and got a good amount of […]

Several people emailed me to ask if I could persuade Barbara to share a picture and she kindly agreed. Thanks Barbara! People will […]
I have two quilts I would like to share with you today. A lovely lady named Patt, who reads this blog, emailed me to say she thought I would enjoy seeing them. And I think you will too! Are you as blown away as I am? Isn't this exquisite? She has used the French General collection […]
I am off to sew with some of my quilting friends in San Jose today, and expect to be wowed by the projects they are working on. I love seeing the work of others, as it often provides me with challenging ideas and introduces me to methods I could incorporate into my own quilts. The […]
