2 steps forward and 1 step back.
Greetings! January was a bit of a blur with some big work stuff, so I’m rather pleased to see February come around. I’ve been working hard at work and appliqué, I’m rather pleased to share. One thing that really held me back on my progress with this quilt has been prepping the blocks. It actually…

Don’t fall off.
I don’t want to speak too soon, but my year of WIPs has certainly lit a fire around here. The first ten days have been great! I know from experience that my mojo ebbs and flows throughout the year, so I definitely take advantage of it when it’s running high. I knew out of the…

Happy Year of WIPs!
In typical style, I’ve been brainstorming lately about what my new year should be. My 2021 year of minis got a bit derailed by moving and all and I still have those big projects I wanted to finish. I was chatting with my SILs about it the other day and we went down to take…

Wrapping up, one more time.
Happy New Year’s Eve! I hope you are all ringing in the next trip around the sun in a way that makes you smile. We had a joyous (and intensely packed) trip home to see family and then my brothers and their wives (and our dog nephews) came home with us. I’ve had my siblings…

A stripe a day keeps other projects away.
We’re here again! It’s the holiday season and I’m pleased as punch. This year, once again, I’m diving into advent knitting with gusto. Last year, I knit two pairs of advent socks and started a wrap that didn’t get finished. I finished the wrap back in July, right before we moved, and pulled it out…

Green Gables Quilt
I don’t even want to delay the cascade of pictures of my new finished object. It’s too pretty to wait even a minute! You guys! I did it! I finished my Green Gables Quilt! I finished the last bit of binding last night and just couldn’t wait to get some photos. As always daylight savings…

Socks all the way down.
I’ve been feeling more and more like crafting these days, finishing a quilt and doing some other sewing this week. As I often do, while I wasn’t feeling so makey makey – I knit socks. I finished up these cuties a while ago. The yarn was my sweet mom and Christmas a few years ago.…

Joseph’s Quilt: In memory of a blep.
Way back in the spring, I was playing with some fabric when Joseph came along and claimed it. He was usually super easy going, but refused to move off the fabric I had piled in the floor. I had been playing around with a bundle of random cat themed fabrics and with Joseph’s endorsement, it…

Finding a new spot.
We did it – we moved! We’ve been in the new house for about six weeks. It’s wonderful be here and things are slowly coming along. We are definitely not settled in completely, but we’re to a comfy livable point. My craft room is pretty much done but there’s not been any sewing going on.…

Out of time and floor space.
Well, we are really in the throes of moving now! Pretty much everything is packed or close to packed except for the kitchen and bedrooms. We’re officially two weeks away from moving but we want to finish packing early so we have time to paint and do other fun stuff at the new place. With…
