Sewing for the Placemat Challenge, Prizes and More
This week I got busy making my Cornoacation Placemat for the challenge. This post will have the parameters, deadlines, and prizes you can win. The placemat doesn't have to be fancy, something simple will be just fine. Mine is just strips of fabrics, quilted and bound on my domestic machine. Simple and easy! I began …

I have been feeling a lot of what I can only call the doldrums or weariness lately from the constant barrage of nothing but virus news on the newscasts, and a lack of focus when I am in my sewing and crafting space. This past weekend, I abandoned my basement for some outdoor activity, and …
March in the Garden
Anybody have cabin fever, yet? One way to fight that feeling is to get outside, especially with spring making our temperatures warmer. Digging in the dirt is a cure for the inside blues, isn't it?

Safelight Project Update
It has been a busy time for the Safelight Project. Lots of packages have come into the post office, and another delivery was made. I hope I get the names and the pictures right, so much has come in I might be a bit off, but know that I really do appreciate and am very …
