BurdaStyle Top Picks are garments that I particularly like and would love to wear myself. I usually just “favorite” them on BurdaStyle, but now I make it a regular thing to feature them on my blog so...
This short film may very well make its due rounds through the blogosphere. It’s beautiful and inspiring! See the process of linen from seed to product. Makes me love it even more! (video is...
Yes, the month’s links… In my tag surfing I came across this great quilting option, concentric circles. I considerd using it for Quilt #5, but I wasn’t sure I had enough time and I...
This is winging its way to me as I type. I am very excited. I got a $15 B&N gift card for Christmas and have been hanging on to it all month trying to decide the best way to spend it. While pe...
Did you even know I was working on another quilt? I’m sneaky sneaky :) My husband’s cousin (my cousin-in-law?) got married this past weekend and in keeping with tradition, I made them a ...
There’s a lot this week! Sometimes I have none and sometimes I hit the jackpot… Collette Patterns came out with a men’s shirt pattern and are offering this free pdf download of poc...
A lot of my fabric stash is composed of remnants and they rarely get used, so I found a creative way to make something stylish and keep all that fabric from going to waste! I came up with an elastic...

Another top?? Good grief, I’m on a roll! This one I’m feeling just ok about. Not thrilled, but good enough. I’ve made this pattern before with my Flouncy Dot Top, but I used the ...
I’m at the start of a 5 day weekend but it’s a little too treacherous for my car to go out on the roads today, so I’m stuck inside to live it up with the kitties. I took advantage o...
The remnants I bought this past weekend. The large piece on the left with the abstract print is a double knit and is actually what inspired me to make my striped top. I really wanted to make someth...
This striped, double-knit fabric has been in my stash for about 6 months. I found it at Value Village for a few dollars and I think there’s about 4 or 5 yards of it. I love it! Saturday was t...
It’s snowing in Seattle and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! I feel like I woke up in a strange, parallel universe where winter exists in Seattle. This weekend was the Quilt, Craft, Sew F...
I could post pictures of all of Denyse Schmidts quilts here because I love them so much, but I think that might be overdoing it. So just go to Denyse Schmidts Quilts and see them all for yourself....
Remember the bags of patterns a generous lady at the thrift store gave me? I’m keeping some of them, but I’ve decided I might want to sell the rest. I’ve already taken pictures of ...

Haven’t had much content lately, I know. Been keeping quiet in our new apartment (!) and picked up a little knitting project. It’s this basketweave pattern I found on The Purl Bee. I...

So annoyed. Filed under: Kitties
Last summer, my MIL gave me a box of some of her clothes from when she was young and one of the pieces was a pair of blue and white striped shorts overalls. Not something I’d be into wearing, ...
I might be on a roll – I just made another dress! Except that instead of an entire month, this one only took me 7 hours! The is the first time I’ve ever worked with knit and I was surpri...
A whole month since my last post!? Well, lucky for all of us that I have something worthwhile to show for my absence! I kind of took an extended blog break and decided to focus on making one piece o...

Now this is the sort of job I would love to have. I’ve never attempted to re-upholster something myself (mainly because I don’t have the time or the tools), but I dream about it! ItR...
Design*Sponge featured a fabulous Before & After this week: a Brooklyn limestone that owner Stefanie and her husband renovated themselves. It’s amazing how being on a budget can look so hi...
One of my favorite parts about the vacation in Port Townsend was being outside. The air was so fresh and crisp! The weather was perfect. It was sunshine for most of the days (although I just notic...
One thing about staying by the ocean is you’re never at a loss for food! J. kept saying that if we were ever stranded on an island we would not go hungry. We dug for clams along the shore d...
