Penguin Threads Deluxe Classics…. Swoon

My friend who’s in the know (she works at Houghton Mifflin) just posted a link to the most amazing book covers I’ve ever seen in MY LIFE. EMBROIDERED! Love, love, love. And there’s more! You’ll have to check out Jilion Tamaki Sketchblog to see the other amazing covers. I’m in love with this for so [...]

A Couple More Lists

If you haven’t been following you can catch up with my old lists here, here, here, here, and here. It’s no longer really “A List Every Day for 30 Days” but “30 Days Worth of Lists”. I could make life easy on myself just write everything out in a list… that is in fact the [...]

Work In Progress: Double Wedding Ring Quilt

I mentioned before that I had a quilt that I haven’t worked on in YEARS. My best friend got engaged August of 2006. The next day I start sketching out plans for a double wedding ring quilt (a bit of an ambitious undertaking). January 0f 2007 I began cutting the pieces, thinking to myself “You’re [...]

A Bit More of My Quilting History…

Last year I posted about the first quilt I ever made when I was 13. It was created for the littlest of my brothers out of old shirts and jeans collected from the “big kids” (there are 5 of us all together with the ages: 27, 25, 23, 14 and 11… so we are divided [...]

Friday Fabric Lust

Don’t worry, Friday Fabric Lust won’t become a “thing”, but I was so excited I had to share. I pulled into my driveway a few minutes ago to find a package in my mailbox. I hadn’t expected the fabric I ordered to get her so quick so I’m kind of like a kid on Christmas [...]

Lists, Lists and More Lists! (Take 2)

It’s been a couple of days since I’ve shared some lists with you all. Truth be told, I’m a little bit behind in making them, but I have a couple queued up to share! Day 5: Weekend Goals. I made this one up last weekend while I was waiting for my cousins to arrive. The [...]

Playing with Fabric

As you probably have guessed, I’m loving this 30 Days of Lists project. One of the main reasons I left my corporate event planning job was to have more time to be creative and to create for a living. I love printing and sewing my shop items, but sometimes I need a creative outlet outside [...]

Lists, Lists, and More Lists… and Why am I awake?

We’ll start with the latter… I love sleep (almost as much as I love lists)… right now it’s 8:43am, but really it feels like 7:43am (dang clock change). My amazing cousins are visiting and we were up chatting to 2am. Which means I got less than 6 hours of sleep. I do not function with [...]

List 2: Things I’m Good At

Today I’m posting the 2nd list of the 30 Days of Lists that I posted about yesterday. The prompt for the second day was “Thing’s I’m Good At”. Here’s what I came up with: In case you can’t read it the text is: Taking Hot Showers (I’m amazing at this, probably too good), Getting Excited, [...]

Have you heard of “30 Days of Lists”?

I stumbled across this project today and fell in online-project-blog love immediately. The concept: every day for the month of March the lovely bloggers over at 30 Days of Lists give out 1 prompt for you to make a list. How you make the list is up to you: scratch it on a piece of [...]
