I was afraid when I wrote the post that no one would even read it as I’d been away… Read More I Made A Thing! And Some Moving News
Warning, this post has almost nothing to do with sewing. Granted, there’s a little sewing, but mostly it’s about my first impressions of Kilgore, Tx. There is a teeny amount of sewing related stuff, though. I gave my niece a little dolly I’d made (rather badly, if you want the truth), but I’m pretty sure… Read More Alive In Kilgore
…but I swear I totally deserve it. Well, maybe not totally, but I kind of deserved it. I’m nearly finished with my secret project for Sewing World Magazine (sneak peek soon!), and yesterday I took a ‘day off’ to go meet up with Fiona of The Sewing Directory. Poor Fiona didn’t really know what she… Read More So I Went A Tiny Bit Mad Yesterday…

Last night was a whopper. Miss Geek split the top of her thumb open on a knife and it seemed like forever till it stopped bleeding. I was starting to get a little frightened, but then it seemed to calm down enough for us to put a plaster (band-aid) on it. Problem: We have one… Read More Feature Friday + Would You Like a Sexy Glove?

There’s still time for Manic Monday Linky Party! Plus, you can still get in on Mug Rug Swap v.2! I usually do a tutorial every Tuesday, but it’s going to be a late this week. I need to get Mr. Geek to scan the template in, and the tutorial isn’t actually all the way finished… Read More Blogger’s Quilt Festival
Wednesday again? Already? It feels like this past week has flown by! If you still haven’t left a link on the Manic Monday Linky Party, you can do so now! I keep seeing Mother’s Day stuff all over the blogosphere, which always makes me feel guilty. I live in the UK, and Mothering Sunday is… Read More Mother’s Day Quilt and a Bit of Randomness
