Organizing the underwear drawer so I can sew

I let my sewing room become a disaster zone again. That in turn lead to the sewing supplies taking over the dining room table because I couldn’t actually quilt in the sewing room. And that lead to the living room going to hell because why keep it clean when it looks like a quilt store […]

Mermaid Doll-Making Kit – Crafting Win or Hot Mess – Crafting with Kids

Sewing, a family affair

Last month my family went on our annual vacation. It’s one week in Wisconsin with eight adults, three children 2 and under, three dogs in two cabins on a lake. It is always a lot of fun, and a good break from the day-to-day. But this year, I was still working … kinda. I helped […]

It’s a Christmas miracle

It’s Christmas Eve and I don’t have any last minute sewing to do … It’s a Christmas miracle. Normally about this time I’m freaking out about how exactly I’m going to finish everything and get it wrapped in time. Honestly, it doesn’t really even feel like Christmas if I’m not still up at 5 a.m. […]
