I’m on Craftsy

I discovered Craftsy this week. It’s glorious. You can find patterns from independent designers like myself for quilting, knitting, jewelry and more. So naturally I created a shop for my patterns. My goal is to create two pattern books, one of triangles using my method of piecing them all from squares and another one of […]

Taking the plunge

Two weeks ago I was laid off. No warning, just called into the boss’ office and told that the social media department I was hired to build just wasn’t large enough to cover my salary and that was that. I probably should be mad. I was only there for seven months, and while at my […]

Angela Sundress

Pretty girls and little dresses

I took June off as a kind of maternity leave from the blog, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been sewing. Angela is on a pretty predictable schedule, which means I’m able to get some sewing in during her naps. That’s when I whipped up this cute little dress for Angela. It’s a little big […]

Triangle Boot Camp
