I’ve been busy working on a number of projects in the last couple days. My husband’s head is spinning because every time I sit down I’ve got something different in my hands. Here’s a quick project that I finished tonight. It is a Christmas...

So as I’m winding down for the week, and looking forward to my Sunday, I found a fabulous new website that I like. It is actually a shop called Purlsoho, in New York City, that specializes in knitting and quilting. The main website is www.purlsoho.com but...

So, not sure what took me so long, but I figured out a great meal combo for roasts. Tony and I use venison roasts but that is because we are too cheap to buy beef. Really, it is a lot cheaper for us because Tony “harvests” a deer once a year and he...

I can’t believe tomorrow is the start of another week?! Don’t the weekends just fly? I did some major sewing today. My sister-in-law, Esther, asked me to do a baby quilt up for her first nephew. She picked the fabric out and sent it to me–it was...

It is starting to feel like fall around here and I just love it! I get excited for the smell of smoky bonfires, crunching leaves under your feet, and time to sit wrapped up in a quilt with a cup of something hot to drink. This wool penny rug got me in the mood of...

Zeppelin Threads out of KY is doing a trunk show with my patterns this month. Heather, the owner, sent me pictures of how she set it up. I love getting pictures of what people are doing–very thoughtful of her. A trunk show, for those of you who do not know,...

Yesterday I filled another large order from a shop in Madison WI–Stitcher’s Crossing. They made samples of Boxed Blessings and have gone through hundreds of patterns! A huge thank you to them for putting together their own samples! This is such an...

What a fabulous weekend! Tony and I headed to Hudson, WI (our hometown) to go to a high school friend’s wedding. It was so much fun to see everyone! I am so blessed to have one crazy dancer of a hubby! We have so much fun together on the dance floor–we...

After church on Sunday morning, Tony and I came home and did a little kitchen time together. It was rather fun both working on our own little bits of goodness. Tony made hot pepper sauce since we have a bumper crop this year. We use around a tablespoon in a lot of...

I’m back to life! Vacation was fabulous–a true vacation! Here’s the lake through the eyes of a spider. Some of my favorite moments were in the morning as fog and dew rose up through the trees and across the water. Spending time with my family was...

Tony and I are leaving to go visit my parents tomorrow morning at 5 am. I am so excited! My parents live on a beautiful lake in MN and Dakota, my yellow lab, is going to have a blast! Not to mention she has my parents yellow lab to romp around with as well. I plan...

I was paint crazy today! When I have a project that I am excited about, I am known to all out focus on it…perhaps obsess over it. And of course this is not true with all projects–the thrill must be there for me. This afternoon I painted our bedroom wall...

So I did it. I picked out the paint for our house. I could have spent months flip flopping, but I told myself that I just needed to pick them and get it over with. So here’s what I came up with. We are doing most of the house in a very light neutral tan, but...

I love Sundays!!! They are my day of rest and rejuvenation! I allow myself to do whatever I would like, since many times it is my only day of the week off. This frustrates my poor husband terribly, since there is usually much housework to be done, but a girl has to...

So sorry I have not posted in almost a week!!! I have been teaching “wacky crafts” at my church’s vacation bible school all week. Kindergarten through 5th grade have been keeping me entertained each evening. Wowza, parents have a big job! Go, go,...
