I logged into my awstats and found the best source of blogging inspiration ever, the search terms people used to find my site. The top search terms are what one might expect. But full disclosure is so sweet– so lets take a look at some of the other interesting things people are searching for when [...]

When I walk away from my sewing table, I’m never quite sure what I’m going to find when I come back. Sometimes entire projects go missing. Sometimes there’s a shirt missing a button or two laying on top of my current project. And sometimes there’s a robot armed with my shears. A sewing robot. Genius. [...]

The only thing between me and the path to certain destruction right now are gallon sized ziplock freezer bags. My personal stash of large ziplock bags is running dangerously low. I am terrified. I managed to get through the next two steps of sewing, so my next step is filling the sachets with potpourri and [...]

I’ve spent much of the day sewing, which is especially fun when Josey is doing his schoolwork because I’m more inclined to be interested in what he’s doing as opposed to what I’m doing. I’m making a plethora of little tea bag shaped satchets for a craft fair I’m scheduled to go to. So far [...]

I did, and my darling husband took some spiffy pictures of the goldfish bag. I ended up being too impatient to sort through my craft supplies for beads so dug out the embroidery thread to do the eyes.

Sometimes I think fellow bloggers want to see how badly I want to comment and this is why they continue to use blogspot even after their blog has grown bloated with images and content. With my other blog (pointysticks) faced that problem, it was born on blogger and eventually outgrew it. Last night I ended [...]

I’m not a huge scrapbook person. Collage and altered books: Yes. Book binding: Yes. gluing die-cut cherubs and mounting photos on pre-printed backgrounds: No. Although it’s not something I could see myself doing voluntarily to pass time, it wasn’t as unpleasant as I expected (other than it was in the wee hours of the morning, [...]

Right. Like anyone listens to me. I’m just the one cooking the turkey, what do I know? Good thing that I’m flexible and settle for cooking the turkey early and reheating it before it hits the table. I can’t wait to get back to my computer, my craft supplies and my kitchen. I didn’t manage [...]

My sister came in from Florida last night. Because I’m evil (and I have my childrens with me) I claimed the guest bedroom and both of the beds, Sister sleeps on the couch. Yes, this is probably another sign that I have unresolved issues stemming from sibling rivalry during my early childhood. I bought some [...]
