Penny’s Birthday!

Penny turns 1 today!   Penny wants a tiara, some Babymouse books and to give Tucker away. I told her she can have a tiara and all the books she wants…but Tucker stays. So glad we made the 6 hour drive to bring her home!

Fairy Light Hijink.

I love good tote bags. I bet I own 15. Really. It’s bad. Perhaps I need a 12 step program? Penny too. She especially loves the LL Bean totes I have. The minute one of the bags is empty – or slight empty – she hops in. LL Bean should just stop manufacturing & marketing pet beds. What discriminating cats [...]

Holiday Gifts…

I was a very busy worker bee the last few months. I made about 75% of my holiday gifts this year. They were surprisingly well-received! I’m no fabulous craftster, but I’m getting better. Over the next week or so I’ll post them here now that they aren’t a secret. A few months ago I bought a [...]

Kittens With Mittens…

This weekend I dragged the hat, scarf & mitten supply out of storage. I woke this morning to find hats, scarves and mittens strewn all over the house – some were even hidden behind the couch. I picked them up and refilled the box that lives on the radiator (keeps them toasty warm!). I may need to set [...]

For The Love Of Plaid.

Thank you so much for all the good thoughts, suggestions and shared stories on the quilt post. Much appreciated. I have two weeks off at the end of the December and will tackle it then. I’m hoping to also scan some of the prints so that I can make a few accessories and fill in [...]

Imma Bad Blogger.

Between tons of travel, work overload, trying to catch up on life, etc., I’m sort of blog-deficient at the moment. All the projects I’m working on are holiday gifts so I can’t show them. Sorry. I’m a bad blogger. But look, I have kitties and fabric!

Carry On & Ipod Contest Winner!

But first, Happy Halloween! Hope everyone has a great time. Please don’t *egg* my house. I arrived home from Minneapolis quite late on Thursday evening so Friday was a bit of a fog for me. The good news is that I will not have to step foot on another plane for several weeks! Yay! While I [...]

A. C. Moore Noise

On Sunday I went to an A.C. Moore craft store. Had never been in one before. I picked up some fun paper, glitter glue, pack of mini jingle bells and some shaped wood cuts. Around 2AM this morning I deeply regretted this purchase. Why? Well, at 2AM a young lad named Tucker found the container of mini  [...]

Cough. Right On Schedule!

Now that I’m over my jet lag, a good head cold has settled in. Right on schedule. Grr. Oh well, this too shall pass. I had quite a bit of fun at the Salvation Army on Saturday morning. Vintage apron,  6 packages of (3 pkgs. are hand painted!) old ornaments, needlepoint kitty picture that looks Tucker-ish [...]

Thrifty Birthday Fun!

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. It means a lot to me! This afternoon the Fiance drove me around to run errands before I take off on my big trip (tomorrow!) with Laura. In between the I-Must-Buy-A-Travel-Alarm-Clock-Or-I-Will-Simply-Perish type stops, I also ran into a Salvation Army store. Hello! It’s me. What did you [...]

BFF

They are so different. He a total clown. She a complete lovebug. They share lots of secrets. They love each other. Tucker started to make hurly noises while leaning over my Mac the other day. Yikes! I tossed him to the floor where he continued to make great big manly hacking noises. Penny ran to him and started licking the top of [...]

Shhh. Sleeping.

There was so much activity this morning! Two estates sales. Salvation Army. Banking. Post Office. Vet Appointment. Home Depot. Cleaning. Then I made a curtain for the bathroom from the fabric I bought in Paris last Spring. I can’t remember if I’ve ever shown this fabric to you. I bought about 25 yards at one of the [...]

Nothing? Nothing.

I went to 2 estate sales this morning and came up empty. The first estate sale was a super annoyance. Took me almost an hour to get there (mind you, only 10 miles away) because my GPS was freaking out. When I finally arrived they only had a few pieces of furniture. No kitchen stuff, [...]

Granny Chic Apple

All the design blogs keep harping on about the Granny Chic trend. I looked around my place the other day and burst out laughing. I think I’ve been Granny Chic since the day I was born. I’ve never felt comfortable stuck in one style – mid century, hollywood regency, modern, English, Victorian, Contemporary, etc. Granny [...]

Halloween…

Halloween is just around the corner. It’s their first Halloween so the kitties are super crazy excited. Tucker asked for a shopping cart to carry his candy (big-big-big expectations). Penny and Tucker have tried on numerous costumes but like any other kids, they change their mind on a daily basis. It started with Penny wanting to [...]
