When I saw this Feathers pattern by The Pattern Basket, I knew I had to make it. Eva loves birds and these scrappy little cutie pies will be adorable on a quilt in her bedroom. This is not going to be a weekend project, I can tell you that right up front. I think each […]
I don't have a lot to show for my time this week. Lots of reading and fooling around on the internet, but not a heck of a lot of sewing. The blocks above are Block 33 and 34 of the 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along. I particularly like the block on the right, with its […]
I can't tell you what my inspiration was for these little fabric boxes, but I got a notion that I wanted to make some storage boxes out of fabric, and started playing around on Pinterest. Hours later, I had a list of tutorials and was totally jazzed to get started making something. The first one […]
Here's my sweet girl, making a heart with her hands and wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day. We spent the day together yesterday, as her school is the only district in America which still has Lincoln AND Washington's birthdays off. We had fun, going to Target, Ulta and Red Robin for lunch. Who knows, maybe […]
I finished all my Zippy Bags yesterday. I think I must have made 12 or 13. They go fast if you get into assembly line production mode. Half the fun of these little bags is embellishing them with fun buttons. I picked a bunch up at Joann's awhile back when they were on sale, so […]
I bought an Advent calendar! Last year during the holiday season, I discovered a YouTube channel by Elle Florence, a delightful beauty guru from Vancouver, Canada. She had purchased the David's Tea Advent Calendar, and I was so desirous of having one as well. I was too late last year, as they sold out, but […]
With this wedding coming up on Saturday, I have brought out the Killer Shoes. The ones I haven't worn since we moved out here to the country over five years ago. Believe it or not, they are soft as butter and quite comfortable for high heels. Those are my fancy earrings and cocktail ring next […]
Hi there. I just had to get another post in this week, even if it isn't sewing related. I hope you all are having a splendid week. Mine is flying by, but I am enjoying my fall decorations and the rather dramatic change in the weather we have had. I thought I would just take […]
Have you all heard of Erin Condren planners? If you like to keep organized, and prefer the low tech method of writing things down on a daily/weekly diary, you may enjoy this brand. I was a long time Filofax lover, and when I heard about Erin Condren planners I was all over it. They are […]
My daughter Sara has been strongly urging me to make her a fall table topper. She is using my old round kitchen table in her home and a square table topper is just the thing to put in the middle of it, along with a seasonal candle or floral arrangement. You may remember last fall […]
