Napkin Land

Now that all the gifts have been given, let me you about some of the things I made!  This gift was for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.  It’s a set of 12 napkins in shades of gray & yellow.  I couldn’t for the life of me remember the colors in their kitchen, and I’m pretty sure […]

The completed quilt series

I took my time, and over the course of several days, finished up the now infamous yellow quilt, and with that completed the whole series.  Four oversized lap quilts with matching pillows in Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow – one set for each of us.

Perpetual weekend

I still haven’t shaken that weekendy feeling I posted about yesterday.  Frankly, I don’t have a problem with that, but some of the side-effects are a bit problematic.  For instance, on a weekend, I have a tendency to let my email pile up, I don’t generally process orders, and I certainly don’t ship anything.  You […]

Psst! Wanna buy a purse?

With a title like that, I feel as if I should be in a dark alley and wearing a trench coat 😀 I finished another handbag today, and I am planning on listing it in my Etsy shop, but I wanted to give first crack at it to some of you who have mentioned to […]
