Here is the aqua, blue and green baby quilt I am working on.

 I used a pattern that Oh Fransson sells at her etsy shop and I guiltily used a lot of the same fabrics that she used in her quilt. Why mess with perfection?!  I fell in love with the lime green and aquas and [...]

My fabric arrived and I have been busy sewing my little fabric birds for my baby mobile!  I will post the finished product once I am done.  I have already been thinking about what I can make to coordinate with the bird mobile and I am considering making a baby quilt.  I have never quilted, [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My husband is always asking for sugar cookies with icing on them. They are his very favorite cookie, but every Christmas goes by and he never gets them. My mom always made tons of different types of delicious cookies when I was growing up, but never iced ones.  The only cookie I [...]

If you are like me, most of your photographs are on your computer and you never actually make prints from them. I try to organize my pictures into albums on my iPhoto, but looking at them on the computer is never quite the same as seeing them artistically laid out in a real album [...]

Bird wall hanging from “Fuzzy Felted Friends” by Saori Yamazaki

I finally had time to play with my needle felting tools and try it out!  I wanted to start small, since I am new at needle felting and this project seemed perfect.  The pieces are small and simple and it [...]

Below are some of my favorite projects [...]

I am so excited! In my endeavor to collect add to my fabric collection I just won these on Ebay for $7.00!  

My winnings are 3″-4.5″ wide vintage fabric scraps that I believe are from the 60’s and earlier.  I love textures and patterns and I am excited to go through them and see if [...]

I saw this easy DIY project by K.B. VanHorn in Craftzine and the results are so adorable that it makes me insane! You can make pins, barrettes, pendants, or whatever your crafty little mind can think up from your old glasses. 

Being a child of the 80’s, I had some uber-trendy, oversized, plastic-rimmed glasses in junior high and [...]

A Gocco is a small, compact printing system.  It looks like a child’s toy, but with a little practice the results can be stunning.  I ventured into the Gocco realm when I was planning my wedding.  I decided to make all 200 invites by hand and saved a pretty penny in the process. [...]

I LOVE throwing parties. Most of the time my parties consist of a case of beer and grilled hamburgers in our backyard. It is a special treat when I get to throw something fancier, like a shower. I get all excited and inspired, because I get to prepare fancy food and be [...]
