It's been a long time since I posted goals for sewing and crafting. To be honest, it's been a long time since I felt like doing either of these in an organized way. Slowly, slowly my fatigue is lifting, and I'm gaining an interest in life beyond making sure we all eat three meals a …
Just before the new year I heard about a new kind of blanket - new to me, but apparently it's been around for a while. A temperature blanket. Some people knit it and some people crochet. I've never knit a blanket before. Lots of mittens, socks, sweaters, etc. but never a blanket. I was intrigued. …
This has been a busy winter break but a good one. I wrote out a list of things to do, and I think I accomplished about 80% of it so I'm happy. It's been nice to stay up late and sleep in. To not have the pressure of school every day. I'm not sure if …

This week I want to celebrate scrapbooking. I'm going to do a series of posts related to scrapbooking. We're even going to have a small giveaway. If you had told me ten years ago that I would be totally in love with scrapbooking I would have laughed in your face. Scrapbooking scared me. I can …
Last week I gave an update on what I had completed from my Fall/Winter sewing goals. So since I got that cleared out of my brain, I've been thinking a lot about what my goals would be for this summer. Of course, I always have projects in my head. This is just a more formal …
