Got up early this morning to attack a pile of swap blocks that’s been sitting on my sewing table for weeks now, begging to be trimmed, pressed, and photographed- some will go into quilts of mine, and others need to hop into a bubble mailer and go to swap partners. First up- a spiderweb block […]
Oh Wheeeere Is My Mojo?
Ahhh, hello world! I’m back! Sounds like you all had a lovely intro to my squeeze last week. Mmm, yes. Ain’t he a catch? I’m a lucky girl. Should I invite Russ back for a guest post next month? I’m all in favor of the “Living with a Quilter Blogger Survival Support Group”…as long as […]
When the Cat’s Away…
Hello? Um..Hi. I’m Russell. I live here. With Amy. You know, when she leaves Blogger signed in I always tell her I’m going to write a post about how awesome it is to have me around. She just laughs and kicks me out of the chair. But here it is again, username and password rendered, […]
A Little Old Fashioned Christmas Magic
Hard to believe Christmas is actually over….so much shopping, wrapping, sewing, swapping, baking, hosting…and now the house is littered with Polly Pocket accessories and half eaten cookies. I’m in a bit of a daze, processing it all, and trying to build up the energy to get my house into normal working order again…not quite there […]
One Last Christmas Post, Then Get The Heck Off The Computer!
Ah! It’s Christmas Eve already! Not time for blogging…time for wrapping, baking, snuggling, sipping cocoa, and feverishing vaccuming my house to prepare for dinner guests. 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 […]
P is for Pressure
It’s that time of year again. The prrrressssure is building. And I have no one to blame but myself. Here’s my mile-long holiday to-do list that seems to be growing by the day: Finish huge 2012 block of the month project, meet with partners to finalize Dec 19 (it’s exciting! I’ll keep you posted!) Quilt […]
Some Quilts Just Can’t Catch A Break
Poor little guy. This quilt has been through such sad existance, I PRAY that he gets sold at the Holiday Handmade Market next month, and given to some adorable happy baby so that his little soul can be restored. He was born on a freezing, snowy night last winter, as the fire crackled and I […]
Snow Day
Woke up to a magical snowy wonderland this morning, and I couldn’t be happier about it! Everything about this day is turning out to be downright cozy. Like the hubby off work, kids home from school, and a scrumptious Swedish pancake breakfast together. This is a legendary family recipe- my absolute favorite. You could cut […]
So Little To Do And So Much Time
Wait…Strike that. Reverse it.This is one of those weeks when things are really happening…and when I say happening, I mean HAPPENING. Creative juices are flooding my head, and my sewing machine needle’s about to melt off (or is that my finger being attacked by an angry steaming iron?)…I’ve hardly had the time to snap cute […]
I Cleaned, I Sewed, I Conquered
One thing you must know about me is that I love lists. I adore them actually. Shopping lists, packing lists, to-do lists, to-say lists, to-make lists, lists of ideas, top 5 all time favorite lists… My husband jokes that I make lists of lists, which would be funny except for it’s actually true. Today felt […]
