Today begins a new year of reporting on our Stashbusting efforts. On this post, report your fabric in and out for January. Every month we’ll check in on the first Friday of the month. The goal is to have more out than in at the end of the year. For new readers this is easy …
It is February Already!
I have a couple of days to sew this week, and I am looking forward to Virtual Retreat on Friday as a sew day too! I have started a secret project, and all I can show you for now is this. It is going to be so fun! More details later when I can reveal …
Safelight Project, the final delivery
About 2 weeks ago, I received a box in the mail sent by Carole L. that contained some case sets for our Safelight Project along with a nice donation. I knew I had a bunch more case sets in the storage room, along with cards and tote bags. I emailed a thank you, saying Safelight …
Sewing Pajamas
I had one day to sew this past week that was a nice quiet day. No phone calls with fires to put out for a change. Such a delight to just loose myself in a project. But what to sew? I needed something I could complete in a day or less as I have nothing …

Hen Party
This week, I planned to have a couple of friends over for a day of sewing and chatting, and maybe just a touch of stitch-and-bitch. My Sweet Babboo always calls this a Hen Party, so I got out my chicken table topper for a nice tablescape for lunch. I put my gold chargers at the …
Quick Tray Project
It seems like lately all my time is taken up with things that do not involve a needle and thread. Of course, it is my own fault. I still say yes to too much, and even come up with projects on my own that turn out to be bigger than I thought they'd be. I'll …
Sunday Chat
This week seemed super busy with various things and a big chunk of a day wasted with a stressful situation that ruined my creative mood. All was solved by the end of the day, but it was just maddening. When these things happen, I just have to slow down, and take a breath with a …
Stuffed Peppers for Two and More
When it is cold outside, I get a craving for a comfort food dish like this one. Since there are only two of us in the household, I need recipes that serve just us, with not much in the way of leftovers. When I hit upon this idea, it seemed perfect. The stuffed peppers are …
