A matter of the utmost importance
Busy busy busy day today, but I think I can spare just a moment to discuss something that I know is on everyone’s mind today: Scarves. Don’t try to deny it. You’ve been preoccupied for the last...

As I type, the mercury is creeping up past 62 degrees. I’m wearing shoes without socks, a lightweight shirt, and fun daisy earrings. Several of the windows in the house are open in an effort to...
View ArticleDelusions of Springtime (and a winner!)
I should have known this would happen. It’s practically a given. If I’m going to spend a week being under the weather and stuck in the house, then as soon as I feel well, I am going to take myself...
View ArticleWeekend Sewing
I think the book is aptly-named. It’s the weekend, and I have been sewing. I had Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross on my wish list, and I really was going to avoid buying it and just wait for my...
