Sew Together Bag #2 Done
My second Sew Together Bag is finished, just in time. In a few days, my sewing room is going to turn into a guest room, so my sewing had better be out of the way until after Christmas. This second bag turned out pretty well. I used a thicker fusible batting in it, and it…

Busy Elf
SInce my Christmas gifts to others do not appear to be willing to make themselves, I got to work on Friday and Saturday. I purchased this fabric at a wonderful shop called "Charming Lily" up in the Spokane area this summer, with some sort of half cocked idea to make a quilt with it. …

Still Laughing?
Are you all still laughing at me? Ha ha. What a dummy I am. "Anyone know the block pictured here?" "It sure looks like the one on your blog header Nicole…" Honestly. Sometimes when I put these posts together it's late and I am definitely done with my day. I swear chardonnay had absolutely nothing…

Why Oh Why
Why oh why have I left things so late? What was I thinking? It is November and my son in law is asking me what holiday items I am going to sell in his shop during November and December. Can I bring a few things in for next weekend? Good question. Oh dear oh dear…

Wool, My New Love
Here is $900 worth of wool I bought for my new wool working hobby. I'm kidding, it didn't cost quite that much. The colors of these hand dyed wools are so gorgeous it is hard not to pick up the little bundles of strips when you see a nice collection. That Autumn mix collection was…

My Little Travel Bag
I just have to share this fun tutorial with you all. I saw it on Pinterest, believe it or not, and just had to make one. This little project was so fun and fast, you can be sure I will be making lots more of them. Seriously, watch this video, featuring Lori Holt of Bee…
