Easter! I Miss You Already

Easter! I Miss You Already

Anybody else survive an ultra-packed Easter weekend extravaganza? Whew! What happened to buckling up my white patent leather mary jane’s at 6am, snoozing through the sunrise hymns, staining my nose with lily pollen, and celebrating the resurrection of Christ with a simple, understated plate full of deviled eggs? Ah, but such is the life of […]

Babies Make Every Post Cuter

Don’t they, though? Baby feet, baby cheeks, baby pot belly. Squeeze attack! Can’t. Stop. Squeezing. …And kissing, and snuggling, and cuddling. Today my little Chubbs modeled some darned cute courduroy baby bloomers & a floppy hat I stitched up recently for my friend’s little girl (who’s also, I might add, irresistably squeezable). Aren’t they fun? […]

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, […]

That Kinda Day…The Kind That Rocks.

Glorious, glorious day today! One of those days where I get stuff done, my kids are angels (as angelic as kids can be), and had some precious moments with them that make me feel like I’m not completely screwing things up. First things first: finished another pillow for my sofa- a wonky log cabin in […]

One Project Down…6 Million to Go

All I can say is I’m so relieved to be finished with this quilt so I can get back to life. Ha! Seriously though, I loved making it, but wow, this one threatened to take me to the brink of sanity and back. I feel like it’s been taking over my sewing area for decades. […]

So this Saturday is the big 5 Year Anniversary at the craft shop where I work, and the owners designed some super cute pennant fabric to mark the occasion. We were all given the task of making something from the it to wear in the shop that day…so this is what I came up with…a […]

Back from the Beach…

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 […]

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 […]
