Willow – The First Sweater of 2019
And the first finished sweater of 2019 is in the books. Done, worn, loved. But, it was a close call, finishing this one, and until I wore it to work, I wasn’t quite sure it was going to all come out right in the end. I loved Willow when I first saw her – I’ve […]

Chic Sparrow Over Foxy Fix for the Win – the Rest of the 2019 Line Up
Not too big a stack right? Very focused! On top is my everyday carry. It’s not even a journal really, it’s a date book, I guess a planner. I shouldn’t treat planner like a dirty word, but I’ve been down that road of decorating rather than planning, and I’ve really decided that decorating is for […]

Journal No. 2 for 2019, My Not A Bullet Journal Journal
Back in 2016 through 2017, I kept a bullet journal. A real bullet journal. Bullet journaling is a an analogue planning system created by Ryder Carrol. I haven’t been to his blog lately, or read his new book, but back when he started this analogue system of not quite list making/not quite traditional planning, there […]

New Year, New Journals
A new year, a new journal, are you with me? Or, how about a new year, THREE new journals? Now you’re with me! Every year I pick a word. Every year I forget my word. Frankly, I think I would forget my word because I chose words that said, my word is soooo intellectual, and […]

A Weekender for Every Day of the Week
I’ll admit it – I’m a bandwagon girl. Or, more accurately, if there’s a sweater parade going by, I’m definitely in the crowd watching, and, it doesn’t take much for me to hop on the float, and cast on the sweater du jour. When everyone started knitting this sweater, the Weekender by Andrea Mowry, I […]

A Star is Born – Again
I saw a Star is Born on Sunday but I waited a few days to write about it. If I had written the review right after the movie, it would have been ungenerous and unkind. In the theater where I saw the movie, there were people sobbing in their seats, audibly, and I was struck […]

When You Know Nothing, How to Build a Website
One of the reasons the blog got a makeover truly was the yadda yadda of yesterday – writing, word recovery, all that cerebral stuff. But, there’s another reason. I’m a nerd, I like techy things, and I actually like fiddling around with web design. So, when my brother posted on Facebook that he was looking […]

Rebranding
Whenever I’m in a real craft rut, I clean my craft room. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to get the creative mojo going – a nice, neat tidy space. Other times, a clean workplace is just an empty space, and I sit and twiddle my thumbs, waiting for inspiration to fill that space. So, I’ve […]

More Vintage Photo Fabric Creations
After posting about my last failed attempt at altering a fabric vintage photo, of course, I stewed about how to fix it, how to start again, what to do differently – that’s what I do sometimes when I’m staring at my computer at work. Some people day dream about exotic vacations, or what they’re reading, […]

A Summer of Unity Stamp Co. Stamps
As promised, and in a timely fashion I might add!, here’s a rundown of Unity Stamp’s Summer Kits of the Month. First up, June – ah, so long ago it seems. Love June’s kit.. If I had any quibble, the only thing it would be is that I don’t feel like that particular bird is […]
