I’m back from vacation! It was wonderful even though it was a bit soggy all week. Visited a few quilt shops, did a little business, bought a bit of fabric! You can’t make new patterns without new fabric right?! I’ll show you some pics of the new...

I wanted to do a quilt pattern that included touches of some of the things I love. I knew Tony would not be a fan of all the extra elements, but I decided to ignore the man’s opinions this go around and just stick with my whimsies. Here are some pictures of...

Today I had some fun working on a nursery project. It has been a project that has come together one little piece at a time. First I picked up the 3 wooden hoops with a general idea in mind. Second I bought the fabric with no real idea how I was going to use it....

This little piggy goes to market…or should I say BIG piggy! 274 lbs! Tony and I picked up our pig tonight from a local farmer here in South Dakota at the Jesse James gas station. (Trust me when I say very small town!) The whole process was very exciting and...

Today we had a birthday celebration at little 2 year old Bella’s house. A perfect excuse to have some fun with my sewing machine and yummy fabric. First up was a birthday crown! Shouldn’t all little girls have a pretty crown with pom-poms on their...

I’m so sorry! Unfortunately some of you found out yesterday that my site was hacked into. We have fixed the issue and have put in place extra securities so it doesn’t happen again. A sad reminder to make sure your passwords are extra tricky.

More kitchen time! Bad for my waist, good for Tony, plus Elias loves to hang with me in the kitchen. So many good things to choose from–bread, banana cream pie, sweet rice, brownies, carmel corn… oh boy! I pulled out Grandma Max’s old recipe...
