I have something to show you today. Check out those skirts, people! Flouncy! Now, I practically OD’d on chintz in the 80′s. I had Laura Ashley coming out of my ears along with Waverly’s polished cottons and Rachel Ashwell’s shabby chic. I didn’t do the whole house in it, but it lived in several of [...]

It’s been ages since I’ve posted so I figured I should prepare something before WordPress took away my privileges. Honestly, I don’t know how bloggers with kids at home or a job outside the home (or BOTH) find time to blog. Seriously, this stuff takes TIME! I really appreciate those that work to send daily [...]

Ever spend time flipping through eBay and run across something that jogs your memory? Something that takes you back to a simpler time. Back to when you spent hours on end TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE 12′ LONG WORM you created with your very first piece [...]

Posted in Sewing, Tutorials, Zipped Pocket Tutorial on December 7, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Don’t you just love it when you happen upon a pattern for something practical? And even better, something that would make a terrific practical gift! I am so over clutter and useless gifts and excess, but show me something I can put together quickly, with what I already have on-hand and I’m sold. May I [...]
Sad Patterns: A Study in Simplicity (and Butterick, et. al.)
Posted in Patterns, Sewing on November 21, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I had a fantastic post all written up and ready to go yesterday. It’s taken me a good twelve hours to almost get over the fact that the post was eaten alive by either WordPress or Cybergoblins or both. It was all about a fun new site I happened upon that I thought you might [...]
Anthro Inspiro
Posted in Hand Embroidery, Sewing on November 14, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Lately I’ve been a bit preoccupied with my current obsession…Spoonflower. I’ve created dozens of new fabric patterns and every time I get back a batch of samples I see ways to improve, recolor or redesign my work. Not being an artist per se, I feel as though I have a long way to go to [...]
Hurry up and think of a blog post title before this thing shuts down again!

Since Saturday my computer has been on the fritz. Today I finally fired up the back-up so I don’t feel as out of touch, except I did remember quite quickly why this computer was relegated to back-up status. It randomly shuts itself off. Generally right in the middle of something. Like writing a blog post. [...]
Super easy Company C pillow hack!

Don’t you just love this pillow? They’re bright and colorful mums that remind you summer’s just a few weeks from ending and soon the dark and cloudy days of autumn will be upon you, then behind that, cursed winter and you’ll be wishing you had bought that place in the South of France (as if) [...]
Embroidery Hoopla
Posted in Hand Embroidery on August 7, 2011 | 8 Comments »
Okay, so my sudden new interest in embroidery has me viewing everything I see from the perspective of an embroideress. I saw a simple flower in the garden this morning and thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to embroider a zinnia?” Now if I just had a zinnia pattern……tapping fingers on table…….hmmmm. Google Images to the [...]
