Seam allowance that is. When I calculate quilt stuff or any kind of sewing thing it seems the math and I never really get along. A few weekends ago Sciarrino came over so we could have one of our good old craft days (yeah!) and I worked on a project you might remember me blogging …

Okay NOW you can call me a super crafty genius
All the time I am doing dead easy craft projects and I get the, "oh I could never do that." And, "you're so crafty." True I like doing crafty things, but I'd like to point out that I usually stay on the easy side of the street. In my knitting, for example, I've never even …

Future projects
Oh my little bird, she is so cute! I keep saying that but she keeps getting cuter every day so what am I supposed to say? 30 minutes after I posted the last entry she went to sleep. Imagine my shock when Bj woke me up at 7 to say he thought she needed to …
Bits of this and that
I figured I'd better blog since people seem to think I've gone and had my baby already. I'll start to worry if it hasn't come by the end of January 🙂 We had a super low key Christmas. Like our other friends due the same day, our minds are thinking ahead and Christmas sort of …
I don’t know about you, but crafting always makes me feel better.
So ya, that totally sucked. I'm still not over it (the tree cutting thing). Today I peaked out my bathroom window to see what my neighbor was doing and he was sitting in his driveway on a lawn chair facing our house. Creepy. Ugh. I talked to the neighbors on the corner about the flood …

And the winner is – 343
Did you think I’d totally forgotten about the jars? No, no, there were 337. That is everything that was in the garage, which included a couple of boxes from another sale, and a few broken, but still what a haul! Now I just have to finish organizing them and get them full of ribbon and …
No Shoes… I mean it!
Today I had a very productive day… of the not so fun kind. Last week I had tried to scrub my floors but for some reason I just could not be at all comfortable bending over, kneeling and doing it then. I believe I called Bj at work and sobbed that I was a useless …
Thanks Brent!
Yesterday morning my brother called to tell me they had just been to an estate sale I should check out, full of sewing and crafty goodness. So Bj and I decided to take our walk early and go to it. Boy am I glad he called us, the house was a weird sort of time …
Spun and Done
I finished this yummy yummy yarn, it took a while to dry as it is a bit damp around here (thank goodness, hot gets old to me). There is so much yarn here! I did about 718 yards, 2 ply, fingering weight? It’s 17 wpi, which means when you wrap it around a pencil for …
