I’ve spent the better part of a year ogling purses on Etsy. I’ve hemmed, I’ve hawed, I’ve come close to plunking down my cash and waiting for my dream bag to arrive. But I’ve held back. Partly because I didn’t even know I had a dream bag until recently, partly because I’ve always been a […]

At least, this is how it looks on me (minus the grainy film that comes from taking pictures in less than optimal natural lighting)! My sunburn is peeling, I’ve got a few more gray hairs and a couple of laugh lines, but none of that bothers me. I admit it. I am a total birthday […]

Really, is there any other kind? Not for me. I squeeze my crafting time in wherever it will fit, usually in the hour before or after supper, or like tonight, while I was cooking. I don’t recommend that, actually. I ended up attaching a sleeve to my new shirt inside-out. Oops. Speaking of my new […]
Read More: Speedy CraftingI’m so happy we did this sheet swap. Besides the obvious benefit of having a nice stack of vintage textiles that I didn’t have to scour the thrift shops to find, there’s the enjoyment of seeing what other people are doing with my sheet. First, there was me, and my Fast & Cheap Skirt Tutorial: […]

I’m back. Miss me? We surprised the boys with a trip to Ocean City, NJ this weekend. We had been there at the end of March last year, and although it was really cold and our hotel was kind of run-down and a bit of a walk to the boardwalk and the downtown area, we […]

On a whim, I laid out my Simplicity 3835 pattern pieces on one of the swap sheets. To my delight, all of the parts fit! Allow me to present my new shirt, made from the very soft, perfectly drapey, sheet piece that was sent in by Liz. This material is perfect for a shirt. In […]

I completely forgot about this – I have been tagged several times in the last few months. Most recently it was the lovely & talented Cat, but I’ve also been singled out by Connie, Iris, Jeanne, Holly, and Lunes, all of whom are no less lovely nor talented than Cat 😉 Hard to believe a […]

Idyllic calm. That’s what was on my mind on Sunday evening, as I thought ahead to the rest of this week. For the first time all year, I had no big event looming that required me to drop everything and scramble to get ready for it I had a pretty clean house I was nicely […]
Read More: Idyllic calmI think we all knew it wouldn’t be long before I cut into another swapped sheet, am I right? That’s ok. My predictability is part of my charm. At least, that’s what I tell myself. This “pink & orange daisies on green” sheet caught my eye right away when it arrived. I love it! It […]

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I would show you how I made my Mother’s Day Skirt last year. This is potentially a no-sew project – that’s how I did it, since I didn’t have a sewing machine a year ago, nor would I have known what to do with it if I had! […]
