I’m Still Here! I Promise!

Just a bit behind in the blogging world. To be honest, I’m a bit behind in the real world too. I came down with Parker’s flu over the weekend and have been playing catch-up ever since then. Trust me, you don’t want me to be blogging about the details of what’s going on around here! [...]

A Purse and Procrastination

I like to think I’m an organized and some-what disciplined person. But the reality is, I often procrastinate. Not on things that I have to do. For some reason I have no problem getting stuff done when there is no choice. I mean, in college, I finished papers up weeks ahead of schedule and never [...]

Quilting Progress

Remember my Block-a-Palooza blocks? Those poor lovely squares have been waiting for me to get moving on the next phase of the Block-a-Palooza project. You see, the next step for this quilt is a large block made completely of appliqué. I adore quilting, but I’m still new to the world of applique and it’s not my [...]

Corners of my Home

Some weeks I think, “where did my week go? did I get anything done at all?” On those weeks, it’s helpful to look around the corners of my home to find evidence of what I’ve been up to. Below is what this week is shaping up to be.

PJs and Elastic

Is there anything cuter than a toddler in pajamas?

I mean, seriously, look at those cute chunky legs covered in firetrucks. They are the best.

As you can see, I got around to putting the elastic in these pantalones for my dude and they came [...]

Block-a-Palooza: Block #16 and a Hat

Block #16 – Pinwheel Parade

Woohoo! This is the last block for the block-a-palooza! I really like the way it turned out. As you know, I like me some pinwheels. Very, very much! They posted the finished quilt on the flickr pool and I’m excited/nervous about it. They have all 16 [...]

Block-a-palooza #15 and Julia Child

Woohoo! I completed block  #15 for the Block-a-palooza. Just one more to go. I really like the pattern on this block. I think an entire quilt made out of this block would be amazing. But maybe that’s just me and my love for pinwheels talking!

On an entirely different note, I’ve been reading My [...]

Block-a-Palooza Blocks 12-14

I’m on a roll! After a whole weekend of sewing you’d think I’d be sick of it . . . but I’m actually the opposite! I think I had been in a sewing rut for a little while where projects just didn’t seem that exciting to me. But after seeing my impressive pile [...]

Block-a-palooza Blocks

So, I got a little behind on the block-a-palooza blocks. I’ve been cutting out the blocks at the right pace, I just hadn’t gotten around to sewing them up! Thankfully, my little sewing weekend in Austin caught me up to speed. Here are blocks #3-11.

Block #3 – Shoofly Geese

Clothing Time

Wow. Clearly I grew up in the 90′s. Titling this blog made me laugh really hard. It made me start singing “Closing Time” with a lisp. Try it. It’s fun. Or maybe that’s just me.

Where was I? Oh yes, clothes. I made lots of clothes at our weekend sewing extravaganza. I had [...]
