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, […]
Swappin
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, […]
beebolt Fabric Giveaway!
You won’t even believe what happened to me this week! Was killing some time on Facebook and noticed a little “Green Giveaway” contest over on beebolt’s page…thought, eh, what’s another 30 seconds to comment that I compost & grow my own organic veggies, for a chance to win some fabric? What a good decision that […]

I love the definition that Wiktionary offered: fussy cut (quilting) To cut pieces of fabric so that a particular part of the printed […]
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, […]
Feeling Fussy Modern Fabric Swap
Some super fun swaps going on out there (Ellison Lane & From The Blue Chair, I’m talkin bout you!), but I keep missing the boat (grrr) so I decided to start a new one! I’ve really gotten addicted to using awesome fussy cut printsin my quilt blocks recently, and thought, how fun would it be […]
