What I’ve been beading… and a give away!
I am loving beading right now! I found an old book of mine that I remember drooling over as a kid and am using that to learn some new tricks. It’s crazy to me that I can have a book 20 years old and still use it to learn things, I really don’t feel old …
With out a plan.
I just started throwing fabrics on the design wall yesterday, no plan. I started sewing it together. Turns out you need to have two straight edges for fabric to lay flat. Enter seam ripper. I’m not sure what is going to become of this, but so far I’m learning a lot and having tons of …
Second baby bumps deserve some love too
When Carmen and I were pregnant the first time it was all we talked about. Baby this, baby that. I don’t think it’s just because I’m not pregnant that we don’t talk baby all the time. It’s our two little girls that have us chatting most of the time. When I first picked her up …

Last week Kristen posted on her blog a necklace that she loved. She was coming down for a ladies fun crafty day so we decided that would be one of the projects. I have not dug into my bead stash in a long, long while. Part of the problem is that my collection is a …
My mini quilter
While I was going nutso trying to finish my monochromatic quilt Tuesday was definitely interested in what I was doing. I got out the design wall for her and let her mess around with her fabrics. For a while that appeased her, but then she wanted to “ho!” (a.k.a. sew!). As you saw in the …
This Moment
Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice (ok two, I couldn’t decide) of life.
A bit of spring inside
The good thing about having clients to my house is the need to keep it neat and tidy. And it also makes me want to dress it up for the seasons. This is the first thing you see when you walk in our front door. I think this summer I will actually pull this table …
