I have almost all my squares ready to go for the Kaleidoscopic Kites quilt, but I’m still missing a dark purple fabric. One is currently on the way so my fingers are crossed that it will work out! I started scouting my next project and decided on Random Reflections. I first saw that pattern on [...]

No more sewing while watching tv and talking to Mike. It doesn’t work.   I finished up a set of blocks tonight and was planning on going to bed after pressing the seams. Ha. That didn’t happen. I went to do the first block and realized I sewed them together backwards. Nice. I figured maybe [...]

I was itching to sew yesterday and grabbed the Riley Blake Song Bird Stacker I just ordered from Fat Quarter Shop. I’m an impatient girl and after searching the internet for a charm pack pattern I liked (that didn’t involve multiple packs or anything else) I decided to just start sewing instead.

I’ve been scouring the internet for patterns, fabric, blogs, stores, and whatever else I can find for quilting. I’ve saved so many bookmarks I’m not sure what to do with them now, other than try to organize them! I made my first quilting purchase on Monday – four sets of charm packs from Fat Quarter [...]

My mom is a quilter. Her basement which used to function as a family room, game room, and dining room is now almost completely devoted to her quilts. The dining room table has two sewing machines on it, the ping pong table has her cutting boards, and tubs of fabric and sewing accessories line the [...]

The frames for my big block o’ pics are here!

They are perfect… except for the brown cardboard-ish backing. I put one together and hung it on the wall. From the side, you can definitely see brown and white. If the picture isn’t perfectly aligned (which it never will be!) you can also see a little bit of brown around the edges.

I originally pinned the Crescent Pepperoni Roll-Ups recipe for Mike. He’s super picky about food and pizza is one of the few things he’ll eat! (To be clear, I’m talking about a guy who is almost 40, not a 5 year old) He’s stuck at work tonight,  but I didn’t want to wait anymore to make these!!

I’ve been obsessed with wall art that has 9×9 blocks of stuff. I don’t know why. It’s starting to be a problem. Since we have some serious wall space that desperately needs visual stimulation, I finally started to get some things organized.

I just pulled some serious deliciousness out of my oven.

I made baked oatmeal from Inspired Taste. Although it’s bubbling and mega hot right now, I still snuck a taste… so good!!

I’ve had blogs before. Lots of blogs. I normally end up getting so hung up on the design aspect of the blog I spend hours upon hours tweaking a multitude of themes until it all falls apart and I loathe looking at it.

I’m telling you… it’s gonna be different this time.
