So, I finally turned all those little English paper pieced bits into something useful- a gaggle of linen clutch purses of course! No, seriously though, it is a gaggle. :) A pretty little gaggle. The clutch purse pattern is by my sweet friend Diane, and it’s available for purchase here. It’s SUCH a fabulous and […]
Rainbow Hexis & Other Lovelies
I’ve got some fun paper piecing going on this week! I almost can’t bring myself to applique them…they’re just so stinkin cute. I want to scatter them around my house, like little happy flowers. I know, I know, I’m missing purple. Maybe I’ll get to it. Feels kinda incomplete, however these will each be used […]
Hexi Heaven
Busy hands this week! We’re all giddy about hexagons over here. Cutting, basting, stitching…plump hexis are littering the house. I started this project in a rush actually, seconds before we walked out the door for a 48 road trip across the country to visit family for Christmas. I’d spent days, even weeks, planning…oh yes, road tripping with […]
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 […]
Comfortable Days
It’s been a rainy, drizzly few days here in Colorado, but we’re making the best of it with some comfort food, classic movies, and relaxed sewing (yes, I said relaxed…as in casual WIPs, no deadlines, just cause sewing’s fun!). I think it’s been years since I’ve whipped up a big bowl of my mother-in-law’s legendary […]
We Have Some Hexi Winners!
Whew! I’m no software engineer but DANG…proud of myself right now. In my attempts to bring back my numbered comments, so I could find out which of you lovelies won the hexi giveaway, I actually spotted some html code that didn’t look right (???)…so I deleted it (heck, why not? It’s not like my whole […]

If At First You Don’t Succeed, Failure May Be Your Thing
Good morning sleepyhead! How about a fresh baked raspberry scone & some coffee? Just kidding, you probably don’t want one of these. Seeing as I apparently over-mixed the heck outta them and ended up with lovely-looking but horribly dry, dense scones, that have been sitting on my cake stand, uneaten, for several days now. Thankfully […]
