Yesterday, I posted about some crafty sewing progress in March. Today is a very brief look at some other March happenings. Marchenings, if you will. BLOND! (and it is ok that I wrote “blond” instead of “blonde”, per this.) Most of my teens and 20s I spent with blond hair. And suddenly one night IContinue reading “Marchenings”

March ta-da done
I had a lot of aspiration for March – stuff to get done. LOTS. 12 projects – 3 per week. That may have been a TAD unrealistic. I did make progress on some things… I made the first row of my ombre tessellation quilt. Here is Toby really inspecting my work. His tail is aContinue reading “March ta-da done”
Hustle
I finished this little quilt for my new spacious cubicle. The actual cross stitch took me frickin’ forever. I was afraid to use different colors than what the pattern called for, but I didn’t use the midnight blue aida that the pattern called for. So the finished product is a bit hard to read. IContinue reading “Hustle”
Tuesday Two – Issue 2
This Purl Soho tote pattern. Love, love, love the simplicity and instructions for creating easy to easiest tote. I made the above tote by lining but not boxing. This tutorial for creating a boxed corner in a bag. I HATE the triangle method where you match seams, sew a line and then cut to theContinue reading “Tuesday Two – Issue 2”
the never-again scarf
I cannot visit pursoho.com without falling in love. This is the third scarf I have purchased materials for from purl soho because I want to own it, not because I want to make it. The other two are languishing on knitting needles. Because this scarf was sewn, not knitted, it got finished. I made allContinue reading “the never-again scarf”
Can’t stop starting
February was not the powerhouse of getting things done that I thought it would be. I just seemed to stall out in a lot of areas of my life. But there were some finishes – 2 totes, 2 baby quilts, a pillow, a door hanger, a wall hanging. It isn’t nothing, but I wish itContinue reading “Can’t stop starting”
some finishes related to goats
Hi – I have some fun finishes to share. I have been so busy sewing sewing sewing sewing that I forget to share here. I want this to be a fairly comprehensive journal of my creative goings-on – so will be getting caught up. You might want to turn off e-mail post notifications. 🙂 OneContinue reading “some finishes related to goats”
Charity baby quilt breather
I want to get 24 baby quilts donated to Project Linus this year – to make up for the last couple of years when I didn’t get any made or donated. I have been having a lot of fun. I have finished 2 more in February, bringing my total up to 6 for the year.Continue reading “Charity baby quilt breather”
February Plans
Lots to do in February… Project Linus quilts… I want to make 4 baby quilts in February to keep on pace to be done with all by mid-year. I have 3 quilt tops ready to go – just need basting, quilting, binding. Two of the tops pictured below – both completely pieced from the scrapContinue reading “February Plans”
January 2018 Creative Journal
January was great – for lots of reasons. I have been feeling better than ever. My energy has been night and day from, well, the last three years. I don’t know what the difference is. I can’t stop being excited to work and craft. So weird, but so awesome. In January 2018, I completed 14Continue reading “January 2018 Creative Journal”
