It’s been quiet around here. This wee family snuck off and had a vacation in northern MN. It was wonderful. Grandpa and Grandma hosted and gave us an extra hand in watching a very active 8 month old. Tony and I also got away one evening to celebrate our 7th...

We took a little trip to a local orchard–one of my favorite fall traditions! We picked up 3 different varieties of apples, some cider, and a big ol’ pumpkin. In the second half of the video I show you how I put together one of the best pies...

I showed you Elias’ new winter hat yesterday before I completely finished it. It’s totally done now and I can’t believe the difference a finishing edge, ties, and some blocking makes! Wow! I love this little hat and of course the little boy that...

Remember when I made that Pixie hat for Elias before he was born? Well, it is a wee bit too big still. I’m thinking next fall. 🙂 With that hat out of commission and it getting chilly around here, I thought I better knit up a new one. Knitting on the to-do...

Welcome to Movie Monday! I can’t believe I finally finished this movie! Getting it done all between sandpaper, wet paint, dogs, babies crying, diapers…that’s success in the life of a homemaker! Today I show you how I updated some old camp stools....

Here is the full shot of Anything Goes. It is the throw size, 66″x72″, which makes it hard to fit into a smaller picture. I think I like the close up shots better, so you can see all the little holly leaves and polka dots but all well. Did I say it is a...

Here’s a quick project that I pieced in one night, and quilted/binded the next. It is called City Windows Table Runner and is available for FREE at Moda Bake Shop. And the back. One of my favorite bloggers and quilters designed it, Kristina Wilberg (and Mary)...

Happy Movie Monday to you all! I am short and sweet this week, showing you a quilt I just pulled out of the dryer today! (I wash my fabric for the first time after I quilt it so I get a lot of crinkly goodness. Pulling it out of the dryer is the best!) I hope I...

Elias loves to move and that makes life a little more interesting around here. Mom tries to do a little of this… Elias is doing a little of this…yarn, batting, fabric, patterns, oh my! Mom tries to get a bit of food on the table… Elias discovers...

I made a custom quilt for someone earlier this year, and I wanted to make a matching sham with some of the scraps but hadn’t gotten around to it. You know how that goes. Well, I saw some pictures of Heather Mulder Peterson’s new book Shams With Style and...

This last week I was able to skip off to The Creative Connection Event in the cities for a few hours. I was only able to get there for the keynote speakers and dinner Thursday night, but it was oh so worth it!! It was incredible to meet so many of the talented...

Today I made a few wool projects in honor of the cooler temps. These projects are from the very talented and creative Betz White. I love that she is all about recycling old sweaters and wool items. I have her book Warm Fuzzies: 30 Sweet Felted Projects, but have...
