Christmas Cheer to Last the Year

Can it be true?  Has my holiday marathon of cooking, cleaning, decorating, sewing, crafting, shopping, wrapping, shipping, and hosting finally come to an end?  Exhausting?  Perhaps.  Busy?  Overwhelming?  You know, I can honestly say that this season felt more “full” than it did anything else…full of smiles and hugs, full of delicious food & drink, […]

Finally got my package in the mail to my partner for Sukie’s Twitter Secret Santa Swap yesterday (the deadline of course…that’s how I usually roll). Can I admit to you that I had sweaty palms and my heart was racing as I handed the box to the Postman? My partner is ridiculously talented and, honestly, […]

What a good decision that […]

Fussy Wha?

Fussy Wha?

Several of you Feeling Fussy swappers have emailed me with more questions about what exactly fussy cutting is, so I thought I’d expand a bit so we’re all comfy with the concept.

Sometimes The Smallest Projects Mean The Most

Small, yes, as in quick and little, but so essential. Today we made a doll quilt to go with our new vintage doll crib (I, I mean she had to have it). She’s so proud of the quilt, and can’t stop tucking her dollies in with it…and untucking them, putting diapers on them, feeding them, […]
