So here's a story. I've been a bit under the weather and have been for awhile. I'm having a few issues with my blood levels that is making it hard for my body to regulate things like my body temperature and energy levels. I'm not complaining. In fact, I am full of hope. As you read this I'm probably in the hospital getting some IV treatments that I've been waiting for for what seems like an eternity and I am hopeful that they will help. Now, I'm not tell telling you this so that you ... View the Post
Easy Flower Comb DIY
It was Spring Break last week and since we were sticking close to home I prepared a few crafts that we could do in the mornings. I even had some "boy-crafts" ready but the boys weren't interested (some day they will be ;) so I will share those as we get to them.

Isn't that kind of a long time to create a fabric line? And the answer to that is yes, yes it is. But even though Elizabeth and I are so alike in many aspects we are ... View the Post
How to Make A Bonus Quilt
A long time ago when I first started quilting I remember hearing some ladies talking about "bonus quilts" and how many they had made.

And while this sounded like a good idea, at the time I thought to myself I will never have enough scraps to make one of those. My how times change.... ... View the Post
Works in Progress
Do you ever have those months where you feel like you are spinning your wheels? And you have nothing to show for it? Well, that's me this month. I have so many works in progress that it's not funny. And I feel like if I write them down I will get better about getting them accomplished. Most of these things are already cut out, I just need to sit down and actually sew them ;) So, here's my sewing list for Spring (to sew before school gets out): ... View the Post
