In all my life, this year has to be the wackiest weather I can remember. This past weekend we received over 4 inches of rain in about 24 hours with crazy winds. We are lucky that we have NOT lost power nor suffered any property damage but there are many outages in the area. Yesterday...

it’s not easy giving handmade gifts
I have learned a lesson that I honestly should have already known.
As a bag junkie, I am forever on a quest for the perfect bag. What makes a perfect bag? Well first you need to define the usage of the bag. Everyday? Shopping? Knitting? Etc..
So I found that the said bag in my previous post...
Projects
I’m on a roll..we woke to snow and that means there’s no need for me to go anywhere today except sit at my sewing machine! So as I mentioned in my last post, I modified the Multi-Tasker Tote to be shorter by about 1 inch or so, including the straps and I have hit success....
Choosing paint is hard
So house update: I’ve removed wallpaper from the powder room (used to be black floral.) Thought I’d be bold, chose a blue paint. Painted it. Hated it.

The effects of stress

So, I’ve made two pairs of socks for a dear friend in less than one month. I finished a second Clapotis this one as a gift for Mom’s birthday in JULY, and now I’m onto another pair of socks but...
Man I suck.
Okay so you know you don’t blog enough when you have to lookup your WordPress Id and password. Slap me around some when you see me in person next time Nina. (Just not the face… not the face!)
I have been busy… but with mostly nothing to show for it. Ain’t that the way of things?...
and another generation rebels…
After all our searching for Valentine crafts and various homemade options my 6 year old daughter has declared that she only wants store bought valentines for her classmates.. preferably Spongebob with included gummy crabby pattie.
Does she knew she is breaking my heart?
I begged her to do the glowstick wands… then I pulled out all the...
