Current Projects
Remember the “use what you have” theme we started this year? We have an abundance of yarn we’ve been trying to use for various projects. The first was a scarf for me. I’ve needed one for years but just never wanted to spend the money to buy one so I got to work and ended up with this: I’m so…
Baby Gifts
We finished a couple of baby gifts last week. Baby blankets and burpies are our “go to” gifts for new moms.

Only SEVEN days until my birthday!!! *smile* I’m not sure why that is so exciting. We really don’t have anything big planned, but, it’s my birthday, and birthdays are just fun. : ) Well, we’ve been sewing! I’m so glad….for some reason, pulling out the sewing machine and playing with fabric just makes this new house feel even more like…
