If you look back into September’s posts, you’ll find a fun guest post from my friend Ginger who wrote about celebrating the art of giving hand-sewn gifts.  (She also makes wonderfully hand-sewn party decorations … be sure to ask her about how much she enjoyed, cough, making “real” bunting! Well….to the point of this post [...]

I love decorating for Christmas.  If I could, I’d have a tree in every room, wreaths on each window, real-live garland hanging over every doorpost.  Christmas decorating is fun to me.  I am, however, not usually the mom who decorates for every season.  I have been perfectly content to let Valentines, Easter, Fourth of July [...]

Tonight’s  post will be super fast – just like the project I’m posting about … I was at Barnes & Noble last night (by MYSELF!!!), and I came across this book: Of course, I couldn’t resist a quick browse … the store was closing in about 3 minutes so it was indeed a quick browse!  [...]

I have a small sheet of paper in my handly little note pad where I mapped out all the things I wanted to post for So Celebrate National Sewing Month.  Needless, to say, I have not even come close to completing that list.  Sigh. One of the things on that list, however, is Fabric YoYos! [...]

I have had this project logged in my brain for about 2 months now.  I was “visiting” an Anthropologie store back in July during a huge sale.  Of course, very few things were yet in my price range, but I really enjoyed browsing around.  One of the things I saw on the sale rack was [...]

It’s an ancient tradition/skill/method, for sure.  I think that for a while, bartering was the only technical financial transaction ..am I right?  If you had chickens, [...]

Oh my stinking gosh, I have fallen sew so far behind in my National Sewing Month’s SO Celebrate Sewing…please excuse me!  Apparently, life with a Kindergartener is much more hectic than I anticipated! At last count, I was 6 posts behind.  I think that was 2 days ago.  That puts me at about 8 posts [...]

Oh my goodness … I can’t begin to describe how thrilled and giddy I am about introducing y’all to my friend Tiffany Schwedland.  If you’ve been sewing along with me for any amount of time, you’ve seen her name no less than a million times.  I knew I liked her the instant that I met [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found myself glued to the television and to NPR today.  Much like ten years ago, I can’t seem to hear enough about the details of that day.  It’s funny, isn’t it, how in just a moment or with just a picture we can be transported right back to [...]

Tonight I am officially catching up!  No more lagging behind for me! I thought I’d share that one of my main joys in sewing, maybe what I love best about sewing, is that you can make awesome stuff FAST!  I love knowing that if I’ve got half an hour, I can walk out the door [...]
