Thanks for stopping by!

This site is dedicated to DIY–sewing, quilting, photography, gardening, and any other creative endeavor I take on. Some of the projects I write about are original and include tutorials.  Others are my interpretation of something from Pinterest, other blogs, magazine articles, and occasionally from a boring old pattern.

This isn’t my only blog, I’ve been writing about our life on my other website, Just a Slice of Life in Perfect for several years. I now use it to post photos from the area.

I started sewing when I was in Junior High School.  I’m tall and that’s about the time when I got fed up with being forced to wear “flood” pants.  So I made all of my clothes and then went on to making my daughter’s outfits when she was born many many years later.  That lasted until she was about five.  She was quite the fashionista at that early age and one day refused to wear anything I made.  She even took all those adorable high-waisted dresses to the neighbor girl.

I mostly make “things” now.  Mainly quilts, totes, softies, and pillows…things. There might be an occasional garment that shows up on my sewing machine. I try to sew everyday.  Even if it’s only for an hour.  Usually early in the morning.  I use a Baby Lock Unity and a Brother PQ1500SL sewing machine along with a Baby Lock Celebration Serger.

Hope you’ll join me!
