..I’m back!
My needed absence makes me wonder if all bloggers/crafters take a hiatus every so often. I think its difficult to constantly be on the spot to make and report on fabulous creations without sometimes taking a couple months to hide in bed and tend to all those personal things that build up. Like doing [...]
I just wanted to give some wardrobe refashion *snaps* to Sherrie from Domestic Days for this awesome shoe makeover! I love pleating, and this was totally brilliant (and cheap! made with ribbon and 10 dollar strappy shoes).
This just took my breath away.
Thanks to Moonstitches for her amazing pictures of the Tokyo Great Quilt Show 2009

A little off topic, but important nonetheless, I am proud to announce that the backyard project, which began in May of 2009, has finally been completed! Oh, BBQs and Bonfires, I await thee with glee.

I know its a little late, but I just wanted to share with you the bag that I made an almost-sister this Christmas. Made with upholstery fabric and lined with satin, along with matching change purse. I think that I may have to churn out some more of these this summer – I had a [...]
Okay, first and foremost: Dogs are not people. They don’t sleep in beds, they don’t eat chicken salad sandwiches, and, for all that is holy, they don’t wear clothes to look pretty. Now that that’s clear, let me tell you that Doctor, the dog, has a naked underbelly! Yes, naked! No fur! He gets so [...]
