Yippee!

Look at this…

It’s a whole roll of quilt batting. A whole roll!! A sweet lady that works with my hubby actually had this just laying around in her basement. Can you believe it? Not giving it a second thought? And guess what else?? She’s not even a quilter. What? Quilt batting in the home of [...]

Thinking It Through

My Craft Hope quilt is finally finished. I hope to get her in the mail tomorrow. A lot of thought when into this quilt. I knew I was on a time line so I wanted it to be as easy as possible but it didn’t seem as though that was what was going to happen.  [...]

A Slight Detour

If you haven’t stopped by to see what Craft Hope has going on you need to. This time they’re collecting quilts for the homeless. Jade said she was hoping for 200+ volunteers.. when I stopped in she had 199.. I saw it as a sign from above and immediately signed up. It makes me happy [...]

Cool Fabric Site, Spending $$, & Other Happenings

The days are kinda slow around here but I’ve been thinking a lot about this totally cool fabric site. On occasion I’ll click on it just to mesmerized by the pretty colors. I could do some major credit card damage. MAJOR!
I’ve also been thinking about how cool it would be to take this trip. I [...]

Filling the Hole

Do the things you make reflect your style? Do you set them out and display them proudly in your home? Typically, I don’t. Sad, I know.
If I had to name my home decorating style I suppose I’d call it traditional-eclectic..mostly it’s just ME though..but the majority of things I make are either country or cutsie. [...]

Oh, Happy Day!

I’m so happy! Look at this lovely fabric. It’s gorgeous! Yeah! It’s Laura Gunn’s debut fabric line, Lantern Bloom, and I’m in love!! I forced Aaron to look at it, talked it over with my mom, showed pictures of it to one of my girlfriends, and made two co-workers go online to see it. Of [...]

New Skirt

I found my scissors…they were exactly where they were suppose to be, turned on their side instead of laying flat.. Poor little Goose got the blame for their disappearance..gulp..sorry Goosie. But once they were discovered, I got going on my new skirt.

I made it with help from “Sew What-Skirts”, love that book, so easy to [...]

Easter Dress

Fabric: MidWest Modern by Amy Butler
Pattern: Butterick See & Sew B4957
My plan originally was to make a skirt but then I remembered I had the pattern..bought it last fall on clearance. So, as it all worked out…This dress was born.

Last year I had plans for an Easter dress but the weather was so miserable that [...]

Strange Things with Fabric

What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever done with fabric?
Me? Well, it goes a little something like this…
Several week’s ago I paid waaay too much money for this fabric… a lambs skin faux.

A few week’s after that my DH and I (mostly him) finished a balance beam that Santa delivered two years ago.

Now, that’s not everyday. [...]

Can’t Find A Thing

I can’t find anything because I never put it back where it belongs. So frustrating! I’ve been playing around a lot with my crochet hooks and I’ve misplaced just about everyone of them. Solution.. A hook holder.

I pulled out some old scraps and threw it together. I even stitched in a gauge. 3 inches.
Now, I [...]
