Very HAPPY to say that I finished the fourth block of the “Happy Little Things” quilt along. How happy is this? I say very happy! And all four happy little blocks! I took a big step out of my comfort zone with these colors. I tend to overthink EVERYTHING and when I started out with this quilt I had a … ….oh there’s more
Okay. I’m going to say right up front. I have stuff going on. Good stuff. But busy stuff. So this post might be a bit short and my photos are perhaps not the best. Terry (that’s my husband) ran the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival. Of course, being the first lady, I was there the entire time. Before and … ….oh there’s more
2019 is the year that I planned on updating my family room. This is where we spend about 75% of our time when we are home relaxing. The rest of the time we are outside in our screened room. I don’t know if I will get it finished by the end of the year but I have made some headway. … ….oh there’s more
Done. Done. Done. I think the above snap is humorous but it does tell a story which good photos should do. The funny part is that I usually focus right in on my projects when I take a picture. But the sewing coach for our Sew Cool! Workshop took this snap and got most of the room. I could have … ….oh there’s more
We are just 4 days away from our annual Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival. I write about this every year. Well, at least since 2015 when we started volunteering for the event. Over 10,000 people visit our little community over this weekend. Terry is the chairperson. I do a whole lot of behind the scenes stuff like the web … ….oh there’s more
I finished our costumes and went to the “Witches and Warlocks” party. And we didn’t win the costume contest. Have to say there were a lot of really great witches! I should take pictures at these events but it was really dark and the few I did take were pretty bad. I made Terry’s warlock outfit and thought we’d have … ….oh there’s more
I’ve spent my sewing hours pulling together costumes for Terry and I for the “Witches and Warlock” party on Saturday so I did not get much done on the Christmas Mystery Quilt. The backing fabric and batting did arrive and I have both cut and hope to get them glue basted today and start the quilting tomorrow. Yay! A little … ….oh there’s more
This is it! Costume done! Just to refresh your memory, I’ve been making a witch costume for a fabulous “Witch and Warlock” themed Halloween party. I got most of the hat finished last week. This week I finished the entire outfit! I am basing the costume on tutorials and patterns from Sew4Home.com. They have amazing ideas and they are free! … ….oh there’s more
It took over a week to get the batting for the Christmas Mystery Quilt. And because I saw that it would take so long, I just went ahead and ordered fabric for the backing. Therefore. No progress to report! It’s still hanging there on my wall like this: But it certainly brightens up my sewing cave! Today, I’m giving you … ….oh there’s more
Soooooo..last Tuesday I posted about my 2019 Halloween costume. I’m going as a witch. And, of course, I’m making my costume! I’m using some projects from Sew4Home.com And I’m dragging you along. The first thing I decided to do was order new fabric! And you know that took a week to come in! Sooooo….I had to start with a project … ….oh there’s more
