Getting Started with the Farmer’s Wife
Sara and I made mini design boards for our Farmer's Wife blocks yesterday. We found a tutorial on Lori Holt's blog Bee In My Bonnet. Lori explains how to do it way better than I can, so do check out her Mini Design Board tutorial. I love her philosophy, "If you are going to make…

Did You Hear the One About the Farmer’s Wife?
A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer, who had never been on an airplane, was fascinated by a stunt plane and asked the pilot how much a ride would cost. "$20 for 3 minutes." the pilot replied. "That's too much." said the farmer. The pilot thought for a second and then…

Light Breeze and Limestone
I found the perfect paint color for the studio! Limestone for the walls and Light Breeze for the ceiling. You can hardly tell the difference between the two colors, but Sea Breeze is lighter. I would describe them as a pale sage. Very pale. I love the scent of fresh paint! I just can't wait…

Dog Days
Can you tell it's hot here? Ozzie and I are both feeling the heat. The house stays nice and cool, but neither one of us seem to have much energy after the move. Both of us have been requiring an afternoon nap lately. When I am not unpacking a box or napping, I am drawn…

What’s Not Happening
I am having the hardest time being patient. I have such vivid images of what I want my sewing studio to be like, and so far all I have are my dreams! There, in the cool empty space, sit my cutting table and sewing table. I visit them a couple of times each day, and…
