As you may know, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in so much stuff this week, but I needed some moments of brainless activity to help keep me sane. Sewing a series of straight lines is brainless enough for me, so I worked on my non-seasonal everyday napkins. I did a few every day […]

Cramped quarters
The Flylady zone this week is the dining room – the place where I keep many of my crafty things. So I spent my 15 minutes in there today going through my fabric and putting all of the nice stuff in a single bin. I decided then and there that I would not exceed the […]

It’s show-and-tell time! First the birds: I had these UFOs (UnFinished Objects, for those not in the know . And now the beads: Remember waaaaaay back in June when I took the Building Better Beads class with Dan Cormier and Tracy Holmes? I came home from that with a handful of big beads that needed […]

57 degrees. That’s what the little weather icon in my system tray says right now. That’s what it said most of yesterday, too, for that matter. I’m not sure about the previous day, but it was not warm then, either. Is this really August? I’m this close to baking up some pumpkin bread and putting […]
