Share As I was finishing my March spirit doll, I was telling my husband how freeing I’m finding this process. Most of my work I have created has been large, complicated and a learning experience (art school all the way through my needlework experiences). But this entire “I have to finish something every month” I expected [...] Share I am SO happy! It’s done. It also widened my “skill set” (and doesn’t look like I totally didn’t know what I was doing) – I machine embroidered the blue piece on the back and did binding around it. Nope, I hadn’t done any of that! [...] Share This past week I took day off work and went to the sewing Festival at the Denver Merchandise Mart in Denver. fun! I sat at the Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilt Assn Booth with my friend Dianna and got some cool stuff: There’s a fabulous lace guy there who brings some marvelous things. I was looking [...] Share Well it’s been a couple of crazy days here – but I’ve spent today sitting and stitching with my computer next to me…surfing the blog world. First, check out this event: Really! How can that NOT be a winner? Now I don’t exactly cross stitch, but my friend Dianna does and I bet she’d [...] Share There wasn’t a diagnosis for ADHD when I was a kid, or I’m sure I would have at least been in the running. I’m literally unable to do the same project for any long period of time, so I start new ones (and don’t finish – thus my side bar list of projects). I cleaned [...] Share I was honestly waiting for something to load and ran across this massively tempting online needlework event: http://needleshowretail.com/index.html Far better than me retelling the tale, you can read the backstory to this “show” (which starts tomorrow). I think it sounds VERY tempting! I just dumped a bunch of money (not even going to say how [...] Share So, we had a fabulous weekend! Saturday we had some wonderful friends over for dinner and recieved a fabulous gift (which is over on the mid-century blog if you want to drool and be jealous we have such cool friends). Yesterday I had many issues with transfering a new embroidery design I’m going to be [...] Share Life has been busy and unpredictable here, just like the Colorado weather (weekend before last it was snowing, then last weekend 80 degrees, and today snowing again). But I thought I’d quickly share what we’ve been up to. Rex likes to make candles and this past weekend he got out his candle making stuff: [...] Share So, the big news is Rex has taken up knitting. Missy C and I were playing a “Kids learn to knit” video and he – right then and there – decided he needed to knit. So, he went to Wal-Mart and got some needles. He’s taken to it like a duck to water: We [...] ShareWhat a crazy crazy week! Ever had one of those where the week is gone before you even think it started? Aaack! Anyway, Fun stuff! Missy C and I found this beauty in the back yard amidst our plumbing issues and poor Rex having strep throat! (oh, and the garage door broke – it was [...]  |
