Now this seemed like a really good idea at the time. A home waxing kit. You can save hundreds of dollars over time by doing your own waxing. Got a fuzzy chin? Zip it off in the privacy of your own home. Got a little mustache going on? Take care of it yourself and save […]
My favorite Quilting Rock Star sent me a new project to work on for her. These adorable little rolls are called Honey Buns–1 1/2 inch wide strips of one complete fabric line rolled into these irresistible packages. The fabric is Happy Campers by American Jane (Sandy Klop) for Moda. Sandy's designs are always, and I […]
We girls are on our own. Since my dear husband has found employment in the Big City, he and Ozzie will live away during the week. Sophie and I are fending for ourselves. Our first step was to get some beauty treatments. Sophie went to the doggie beauty salon and I bought a home waxing […]
'O frabjous day! Calloo! Callay!!'He chortled in his joy. Things are pretty happy at my house right now. My husband received a great job offer which he has accepted. Things are looking up indeed. No need for me to work two part time jobs, so I will be drastically cutting back my work hours and […]
Things are going splendidly with my Winter White Schnibbles blocks. I am so happy that I decided to scratch my first poorly executed effort and start anew with fabrics I had on hand. Look at my blocks above! So sweet. I have all my flying geese units completed and have been enjoying myself enormously, trimming […]
I don't know what I am more excited about–this giveaway or the fact that the incomparable Kaari Meng from French General read my blog! Evidently one of my enthusiastic raves about her new fabric design Rouenneries came to her attention, and she emailed me to say that she would like to contribute a couple of […]
On Saturday, I woke, still smarting from my sewing fiasco of the previous day. I lay in bed, fuming at my sloppy work, my lack of planning and my wasteful use of both time and fabric. Then, I remembered something. The lovely Cheryl, my friend from Gran's Quilting Place, had recently sent me some gorgeous […]
Does this ever happen to you? You haven't had time to sew in ages. Finally, a day off presents itself with no other obligations! You can spend the entire day in the sewing room working! You start a new project. From the first moment, everything goes wrong. You measure wrong. Your fabric choices are wrong. […]
I took my trusty Singer Featherweight with me up to Andrea's and managed to get ALL my blocks completed for the Celebrity Stunt Sewing Gig I am involved in currently. What do you know. I did more than just eat all weekend long. Wish I could show you the blocks, but shhh, they are top […]
Oh yes. Ozzie had a fine weekend. We packed his kennel, his dog food and his leash and headed north east to the Sacramento area–a three and a half hour drive from our house—for the weekend. We left behind our cooler weather, Ozzie's sometimes prickly sister Sophie, and hit the road for a little mini- […]
