Bribes Never Tasted So Good

Bribes Never Tasted So Good

Basic parenting tip: the more exciting the treat is, the more bribe-worth it is. I think cake pops are the perfect candidate. My kids adore them, and there’s no way I’m paying $2 for a bite of cake from the Starbucks drive through, just because you kept your underwear dry. They’re pretty easy, and I […]

Therapy Comes In Many Forms

We all cope in different ways. Some drink booze or play fantasy sports….I make high fat, high sugar, desserts and hoard them all for myself in the back of the fridge. Hey, if I have to pad up to the kitchen two or three times a night to warm up bottles and wash out pumping […]

We just got a foot of snow here in Denver and things couldn’t be more magical! Of course I’m finishing gifts as the last minute, as usual. Still quilting this […]

Hi, My Name is Amy…and I’m A Fabraholic

Not sure if it’s a Godsend or a disaster, but I must say I’m going joy crazy working at the bombest mod fabric shop in Denver. I find myself freaking out a little when lugging up stacks and stacks of fresh bolts to the sales floor…fabric that takes my breath away the moment we slice […]

Gifts from The Guild Gods

I visited the Columbine Quilt Guild potluck & stash sale this week, thanks to a sweet invite from a friend. Wowzers! It was old school sewing circle to the max. Dozens of adorable ladies, most at least twice my age, with so much knowledge (and stash!) to share. When I first walked in, bearing gifts […]
