There's no more hiding! Although I'll still be "hiding" in my sewing room for a few more weeks. Let me explain! Project Run and Play somehow figured that I might be a good choice for a contestant on this upcoming Season 14!! Now, I'm not sure if they just ran out of people available or… Continue reading Here We Go!!

A Baby and A Dolly
This week Simple Life Pattern Company expands their baby collection with a small version of the Helena Top/Dress. The first Helena I made was last spring. I made the top in a chiffon to go with the beautiful Mattie suspender skirt. I fell in love with the pattern and really wanted to try it again.… Continue reading A Baby and A Dolly
All About Art Gallery Fabrics
The link-up has 8 hours left on it and here I am working on pictures that I took this afternoon of the dress that I made last night/this morning. (I didn't really sleep last night.) And my internet is being ridiculous and won't upload my pics. AH! I'll work it out yet. I haven't been… Continue reading All About Art Gallery Fabrics
It’s the Piper by Sew Sweet Patterns
Today I'm sharing my first pattern test for Sew Sweet Patterns and I'm telling you, it feels so good to be blogging about sewing after long weeks away from home! I've been nonexistent on this blog and busy over at Twinnebago Travels where I'll be a few more times yet. But for now it's time… Continue reading It’s the Piper by Sew Sweet Patterns
Fair Warning! I’m Going Camping!
Why fair warning? Because things are going to change a bit around here for the rest of the summer. I'm taking a little break from sewing because I've decided I don't have room for my machine in the camper. And this post is going to have a lot of pictures! There's your warning. That's not… Continue reading Fair Warning! I’m Going Camping!

Laela Jeyne Summer Collection Blog Tour
In our house we barely understand the word "blog" never mind "blog tour". So when I was asked by Cassie from Pearberry Lane if I would like to take part in a blog tour I knew I wanted to, but was instantly unsure about what I was doing. And I could tell my husband knew he… Continue reading Laela Jeyne Summer Collection Blog Tour
Adventure in the Bush
I can't believe I actually got this done!! Talk about waiting till the very last moment! Well, almost. It's my take on the theme "Adventure" for June's Project Run and Play sew along. Somehow I have ended up with a whole lot of things due to be completed right around the same time. This particular… Continue reading Adventure in the Bush
Baby Jaimesyn Beauty
When the tester call for this little dress from Simple Life Pattern Company came out I immediately put it out of my mind since my girls are clearly too old for this size range. And then a day before the fit pictures were due I ran across the post on FB once again and remembered that I had a… Continue reading Baby Jaimesyn Beauty
Colour Run 2017 with a Tutorial and a Giveaway!
Here I am, pretty excited about the idea of doing both my first tutorial and my first giveaway. However, as I've been preparing this I'm realizing that there's really no way to do this short and sweet. Tutorials take up some time and space, eh? So, if you need to run and do some laundry… Continue reading Colour Run 2017 with a Tutorial and a Giveaway!
