Happy Valentine’s Day!
Here's my sweet girl, making a heart with her hands and wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day. We spent the day together yesterday, as her school is the only district in America which still has Lincoln AND Washington's birthdays off. We had fun, going to Target, Ulta and Red Robin for lunch. Who knows, maybe…

Zippy Bags Done
I finished all my Zippy Bags yesterday. I think I must have made 12 or 13. They go fast if you get into assembly line production mode. Half the fun of these little bags is embellishing them with fun buttons. I picked a bunch up at Joann's awhile back when they were on sale, so…

Cozy Christmas
I bought an Advent calendar! Last year during the holiday season, I discovered a YouTube channel by Elle Florence, a delightful beauty guru from Vancouver, Canada. She had purchased the David's Tea Advent Calendar, and I was so desirous of having one as well. I was too late last year, as they sold out, but…

Killer Shoes
With this wedding coming up on Saturday, I have brought out the Killer Shoes. The ones I haven't worn since we moved out here to the country over five years ago. Believe it or not, they are soft as butter and quite comfortable for high heels. Those are my fancy earrings and cocktail ring next…

Chit Chat
Hi there. I just had to get another post in this week, even if it isn't sewing related. I hope you all are having a splendid week. Mine is flying by, but I am enjoying my fall decorations and the rather dramatic change in the weather we have had. I thought I would just take…

Slight Detour
My daughter Sara has been strongly urging me to make her a fall table topper. She is using my old round kitchen table in her home and a square table topper is just the thing to put in the middle of it, along with a seasonal candle or floral arrangement. You may remember last fall…

Tumbling Leaves, a Few Changes
This is what is on my small design wall at the moment. Two adorable small quilts that need quilting. Lately I am so in the mood to make smaller, in season projects that I can get done in a day or so and get into my decor. The one on the upper left is Tidbit,…

New Year’s Resolutions?
New Year's Resolutions? Nah. I don't think so. Not this year. Oh, maybe I do have one. I will make an effort not to use so many exclamation points when I write. However, the New Year does make me start thinking of all the quilt projects I would like to tackle. My head is full…

What Was I Thinking?
I found myself in JoAnn's Fabrics yesterday. My mission was to pick up some zippers to make a Sew Together Bag. Then, I started thinking. Hmmm, the family Halloween party is this Saturday, and I am planning to take Eva with me. This is a child who has six princess costumes, and it seemed…
