I caught about 20 minutes of sewing time today. I’m still working on the new pattern using Nicey Jane fabric that I posted on earlier. Here are a few pinwheels in progress. I did catch a little extra time in the kitchen today as well–the result=homemade...

Elias has been keeping me a bit busier this past week, so I haven’t had much time being creative. I caught a few moments to tidy things up in the studio today. Here’s some new fabric that needs a fun pattern. I was really drawn to the fresh color combos...

Little Elias and I did some binding in the afternoon sunlight. He is great at holding my thread! Here’s a future re-make project that I am really excited about. This piece was left in our house when we bought it and I have held on to it because I think it has...

I got my hands on some of Heather Bailey’s new fabric–“Nicey Jane.” Love it! After a few days of pondering and dreaming, I came up with a pattern I think fits well with the fabric. Between Tony and a very sensitive baby monitor I was able to...

Here’s my little buddy hanging out with me in the kitchen. Maybe he will be a foodie someday… Tony has been craving popovers for the last few days, so tonight I gave it a whirl. Wow! Maybe it is beginners luck, but they turned out fabulous! Here’s...

My mom came to stay with us all last week and it was wonderful! Having an extra person to soothe a fussing baby in the middle of the night made a huge difference. Also enjoyed having a hot drink served to me in the morning and a few shopping trips. Moms are so good...

We finally made it home from the hospital after a little fight with jaundice. Elias is doing well now but he had to spend some quality time under lights at the hospital as well as at home. We survived the first night…although it was a bit rough. Upon arriving...

Arriving at the hospital on Wednesday night at 8:00pm. We were so excited…and a bit nervous! Proud papa right after delivery. I was very happy to have Tony there to take care of him while I did some immediate recovery. A bit of hard work later and the little...

Tony was gone for most of last week on a little fishing adventure, so you’d think that I would have lots of posts on creative happenings, but alas…I was content to eat Chinese take-out and watch movies. I did get the top done to the quilt I am working on. ...

I was inspired by the Pleasant Home blog to use up some of the fabric that I have in my stash. She says she is not going to buy any more new fabric until all of her projects are caught up…I’m not going that far, but it does feel good to get a 3-year shelf...
