Last month I ended up having a huge problem with the yarn I purchased for the lace shawl I was excited to knit. It didn’t come in a ball and when I tried to wind it I ended up creating a ginormous KNOT! It took the better part of three weeks to untangle it, resulting […]

Another Halloween gone! I’m always sad when Halloween is over because I have so much fun making the costumes for the boys, having the house spooky all month, and enjoying fun Halloween events. Then I realize that we have a four day weekend coming up and Thanksgiving break for a week! After a month of […]

This year I did a lot of sewing for the boys’ costumes. And thanks to my procrastination they got to change who they wanted to be at the last minute. 😆 Meet Ash Ketchum: This costume was really fun to put together and I was thankful that Perrin picked somebody who only required a jacket […]

Still working on my quilt! I’ll have more pictures of that to share later. For now, I wanted to share with you this little guy that I created over the weekend: My brother’s birthday was this past Sunday, and instead of making a card to hold his “universal gift card” I decided to make a […]

Last Saturday I started my two day Beginning Quilting class at a local fabric shop. It’s fun! I learned a lot in that first class and I’m really looking forward to the second class this Saturday. So this week I am cutting, subcutting and piecing my stars together. Then we’re going to learn how to […]

You know those patterns I just love? The ones that tell me how to make this: and this: Well, she’s having a fun give-away every day this week on her blog found here: Bit of Whimsy Dolls This could be your chance to win one of her patterns along with other fun prizes each day! […]

You probably know by now that I adore the patterns by Bit Of Whimsy. They are darling and so easy to put together! This one is a bunny that I did a while ago. I love the bright fabric I used and his cute face! That tooth kills me! We’ve begun a major home re-organization […]

There’s a first time for everything, and this was the first time for me making a quilt! Granted, it’s a simple quilt and not very big – but I did it and I loved it! I got the pattern/directions from the current issue of Quilts & More that’s put out by Better Homes & Gardens. […]

Yesterday I was able to spend some time with my Mom and we took a trip down to L.A.’s fabric district. She’s been many times to get the fleece she needs for blankets she makes to sell for fundraisers at work, and I’ve just never been able to tag along. Yesterday was a great opportunity […]

Gettin’ colder around these parts! Which really isn’t cold compared to the rest of the US. LOL!! But we’re going to be having some rain and it looks like we’ll be in the mid 60s to mid 70s for a while. I’m hoping for no more 80s! Seriously, I like the colder weather. Wearing shorts […]
