hanger_1 How to Make Hanger Tags to Organize Your Closet
(Wednesday, March 14th, 2012)
It’s nearly spring, but the air is already warming up. Winter dreariness is disappearing, and that makes me want to organize my closets. I dream of closets that look like these ones, but unfortunately, my closets look nothing like that. My biggest problem is budget (there’s no way that I can afford an organization system [...]

Diamond and Yoda snuggle Twenty-Eleven
(Sunday, February 19th, 2012)
The year 2011 flew by quickly without many blog posts, and for that, I apologize. I’ve let this blog move to the back burner, and because of that, my connect to my online friends has faltered. Sorry guys. I notice that many of your blogs have also disappeared too, either being deleted, abandoned, or relocated. [...]

yudu-2 Yudu Personal Screen Printer First Impressions
(Friday, April 15th, 2011)
I’ve always wanted to try screen printing, but my major problem was space. I really don’t have a place to store and dry screens the traditional way. I fell in love with Yudu, hearing about it on various craft forums. The major draw for me was the drying rack inside the machine. I purchased the [...]

kittyblend New Bedding and Old Projects
(Saturday, February 12th, 2011)
I’ve never really had a matching bed set before, but I fell in love with this set from Walmart of all places. I like the modern print and the little birdy pillow is a cute touch. I have a bedframe from IKEA which is supposed to be used with just a mattress rather than a [...]

Portfolio Online
(Sunday, January 23rd, 2011)
March 2010 was a long, long time ago! Apologies! It’s been a while since I last blogged. It’s been so long that I’m not sure exactly where to start! My two part-time jobs finally become one full-time job. Since I started, I’ve received two raises and, finally, benefits. Yay, discount glasses and drugs! I’m pretty [...]

Super-Sweet Weekend
(Monday, March 8th, 2010)
I had an amazing weekend! Friday: Received my promise ring. <3 Happiness! I got the call while I was at work so Justin and I went to the jewelry store to pick it up when I was done. It’s so beautiful! It’s a white gold band, simple and pretty. It was surprisingly difficult to find [...]

WeCanDoItPoster The Growing Fabric Stash
(Monday, February 22nd, 2010)
I couldn’t resist: I ordered some more fabrics online. I couldn’t help myself! A few weeks ago I bought three quarters of a meter of Rosie the Quilter fabric from a $3.99/m sale. Don’t know who I’m talking about? It’s the quilting adaptation of the American cultural icon Rosie the Riveter. You know, this lovely [...]

Quilt-2 Sickness and Brown&Green Quilt Progress
(Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010)
I love my new job at the daycare, but I’ve been so sick for the past week since I’ve started.  My nose is constantly running, I have a barking cough, and an on-again-off-again headache.  I enjoy the days when I work solely at the daycare, but the 9am to 9pm two-jobs-in-one-day days are exhausting.  I [...]

New Fabrics from Fat Quarter Shop New Fabric Brings Happiness
(Thursday, January 21st, 2010)
I’m assuming that all you sewers out there know the lovely feeling of getting new fabrics! I ordered a few half-yard fabrics from Fat Quarter Shop to use on a green and brown quilt that I’m working on. A few weeks ago, I finished the centre of this quilt, making a large log cabin style [...]

Burgundy and Brown Quilt New Year, New Design
(Sunday, January 17th, 2010)
While I liked the look of my previous blog layout, the colours were a bit dark and bogging me down. I’ve created a new layout for this blog in bright greens and whites to freshen things up a bit! I’ve been in a quilting mood lately. I’ve been sewing like a madwoman on a new [...]
