Garden Party

Garden Party

Well, the girls’ birthday BBQ garden party was a success…uh, yeah, over a week ago and I’ve been so busy accomplishing nothing a ton, that I’m just getting around to posting pics. Between the stack of partially addressed thank you notes, 2 day old laundry mildewing in the washer, and overflowing grocery sacks of garbage […]

Treasures From The Past

Treasures From The Past

I left for Florida with carry-ons, car seats, and a knot in my stomach…returned last week with fond memories, old and new, and a huge, soft leather suitcase filled with my grandmother’s vintage craft notions. Needles & threads, scissors & hooks, seemingly every measuring tool and crafting aid possibly available to your average 1950s June […]

Back from the Beach…

Well, I finally found the perfect strawberry fabric for the little tribute sundresses I made for my grandmother’s memorial service this past week. I know she would have absolutely loved them- so simple and fresh. What a blessing it was to have spent a week with family, making new memories and reminiscing about our dear […]

I Was Lost, But Now I’m Found

“Less is more,” or so they say. Surely this is true of lawn decor, cosmetics, and tequila, but scissors? Yes, I have seen the light. Throughout my 15+ years of quilting and sewing, and I’ve snipped, sheered, and clipped my way through countless pairs of Fiskars, Dritz, Singer, Gingher, and Clover. Honestly, whatever fit my […]

Strawberries for Helen

Strawberries for Helen

I made a promise this week that has been tugging at my heart for days. I was on the phone with my lovely, sweet-as-sugar grandmother, Helen, who had suddenly gone downhill fast after a recent surgery, and was just about to be moved from the hospital to a hospice. It was one of the most […]

Sometimes You Need A Little Space

Sometimes You Need A Little Space

We live in a cozy 1930s cottage-style home that is truly a perfect fit for our little family. Everything has a place, including my sewing room, which for the past year, has been sweetly tucked away in a small back spare room of the finished basement, off of our bedroom. Sure, it suffered from a […]
