Well, this weekend I started something. And it's been awhile since that has happened. Honestly, I just have not been excited about any new projects lately. None of the latest collections, or patterns or color schemes have appealed to me much. I don't recall ever being in such a creative slump. All the designs by […]
Time for a few more Things I Am Loving Lately. This little makeup case would be great for travel, but also good for storing your makeup items that are in regular rotation. In the picture they have it crammed pretty full, but there are nice deep divided compartments that separate your powders and eyeshadows and […]
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was lovely. It was also Sara's birthday, so we had a double celebration. She and Eva came over for brunch and we sat outside and opened presents and had mimosas and a nice breakfast. I managed to catch the miserable cold my husband had while we […]
Ah. I am home from my trips, my laundry is done, the Easter decor has been put away, and my husband has gone back to work. That man has been sick for ten days with a horrible cough, fever and an ear ache. He lost his hearing in the affected ear and every time I […]
I finally got myself set up and ready to sew here at our vacation condo. I had a bit of a set back because I forgot to bring my power cord. How dumb, right? I remembered the foot pedal, but how I left behind the cord is a mystery. A local shop had a cord […]
I've decided to call this little quilt May Flowers. My quilter took a photo of the quilting she had just finished on it, and I could not be more pleased. One thing she does with my mini quilts is that she reduces the scale of the quilting design to fit the smaller size of the […]
My husband and I are off on another getaway, this time to beautiful Lake Tahoe. The weather is nice, but the majority of folks do not yet have their boats out. I think Memorial Day is the magic date that everyone is waiting for. We have a gorgeous time share where we stay a couple […]
I finally got myself in gear and sent these two little table toppers out for quilting. I shouldn't procrastinate-the sooner they are quilted, the sooner I can use them in my spring/summer decorating. I love the soft muted colors of the runner at the top of the picture. It is a Fig Tree pattern called […]
My latest distraction from reorganizing my sewing room is this little mini quilt in the Corn and Beans block. I got my little pieces all cut out and sorted with my Alphabitties. If you don't have Alphabitties, you might want to consider adding some to your collection of sewing notions. They are double sided plastic […]
I did make it up to the sewing room yesterday, with the idea that my re-organization would commence. I started with the dresser and this adorable little kit was in the first drawer I opened. How cute is that little Corn and Beans kit? It measures 17" square when finished and would make the summeriest […]
