Now that my office/craft room is finished and more importantly, now that the playroom is finished so the toys are out of my craft room area – I have space to unpack my stitching and a huge beautiful craft table to quilt on! I wasted no time in picking up some projects and the timing …
It’s been a few years since I’ve made any real time to do much stitching. I’ve quilted on and off over the last few years but I’ve decided to get back into cross stitch as well this year. I’m going to document my crafts here as well as house projects. In January my Aunt gave …
This is a very late post but generally I like to have my sewing projects on here along with house projects. So I’ll do a quick recap. No house work has been going on, Ryan has been working every free second he has including all weekend every weekend 🙁 This means I’m on Alex duty …
Well this weekend was eventful but not quite productive 🙂 Ryan was away with his friends for a long weekend so after getting the house cleaned up and organized, and doing lots of baking I had a little girl party on Saturday (stitch friends).

Well plans don’t always work out and this week no quilting happened Tuesday or Wednesday night due to a continued headache. Yesterday however I had no headache! And after work and a few episodes of Castle while eating dinner, I got to work on the crib quilt again and finished up the top! It’s not …
Last night I got started on the crib quilt for my nephew, it matches his wall hanging and I need to get it finished before making the crib bumpers since the bumpers will be made out of the scraps (haven’t designed them yet). So all the strips are cut and so far I’ve gotten 6 …
I got some sewing done tonight – the valances for my sister’s nursery! I made two of them, they go with the curtains I’m still working on (one window done, one to go on those). Then because I won’t be home tomorrow night to sew, I got some of the animals for the quilt ready …
My Aunt and I have a few quilt kits we bought together over the years and finally we’ve made one of them – it’s Japanese fabrics and I showed the blocks we did a few weeks ago. Wednesday night we finished the blocks and put them all together with sashing. All that’s left is a …
