I must be the world’s worst blogger! I imagine I’ve lost any of the readers I had at one point…at least the ones I’m not related to. Anyway, I’ve got a couple things to share. First, I finally finished stitching up my little Spike-the-cat needlebook that I started on craft night last month.
I think […]
Thought I would pop in for a quick update of the week’s events - it has been nonstop! Our little craft group from work got together Thursday evening - along with my blog friend, Anne. This time, my mom hosted at her house and we had a delicious meal followed by hours of playing with […]
Finished piecing the top of my 4th of July tablerunner, just a little late. I keep procrastinating on quilting it until I get my new machine! Yes, my new sewing machine…my mom bought herself a new Bernina Aurora 440QE at the AQS quilt show in Knoxville last week, so she’s passing hers (a Bernina Virtuosa 155) […]
Last night I did the unthinkable…I finished 2 small projects. I picked out a couple tutorials from the list I posted yesterday and whipped them up; one little padded pouch for my phone, and one little lined drawstring bag for my camera.
The drawstring bag went together super easily; the only part that was the slightest […]
I am leaving for a 10-day vacation in Colorado on Thursday - SO excited! I’ll be flying out with my parents, and then Nathan is going to join us next Tuesday. The initial reason for the trip is so that Nathan can meet my Grandma and her husband Frank (I absolutely consider him Grandpa, even […]
So I finally finished my mini checkerboard quilt I was making for our bedroom, but when I went to take some pictures of it to share on here today, I realized that I haven’t posted about our new bed! We bought a new (to us) king size bed off of Craigslist for $100 (4 years […]
I just finished and hung a fresh linen towel on the oven! I’m proud of how it turned out - a little embroidery, a little fabric print, and I have a new pre-spring towel to look at every day. It matches our kitchen perfectly.
It was really a super simple project. The linen towel is a […]
For Valentine’s Day this year, I decided to surprise Nathan by making over “his” bathroom — the half bath in our master — while he was out of town Saturday night. It is a tiny little room, with just a sink and commode. Before I took it over, there was literally nothing special going on in there. […]
Alright, confession - I didn’t make ornaments on Day 4.
BUT - I did have an ornament-making party on Day 5, at which I made 7 ornaments in one sitting! So I think I more than made up for it. I had some work friends and my mom over to listen to Christmas music, eat yummy […]
Here is last night’s project, day 3 of my 5-day personal ornament challenge - I made another vintage-inspired paper ornament. This one is just an accordion paper rosette (striped red paper) with silver tinsel-style trim glued around the edges and a store bought glittery “M” chipboard letter glued on top. I love it - I […]
