  • Today it’s About Journals and Journaling

    Do you like to write in a journal?  Is your journal a pretty one, with pinks, bits of ribbon, lots of mixed media?  Or is your journal one that’s in an old notebook with lined pages, lots of drawings, etc.? I have lots of journals.  Or should I say, about four.  Most of them are […]

  • It’s a Wonderful Day in the Etsy Neighborhood

    October is my birthday month and I’m celebrating! After an up-and-down season, and meeting a lot of sweet people at craft fairs, I’m in a thankful mood. I mean, after all, moods are good, aren’t they? So for the month of October, starting October 1 and running through October 31, I’m offering free First Class […]

  • Mother’s Day 2017

    We mothers can be a funny sort.  We have children, or adopt them, raise them into adults, and hope and pray that they are fed, happy and sheltered.  We don’t ask for much, just for those Basic 3 as I call them, and go on about our business, in our own worlds, knowing all is […]

  • Anyone Ever See Dotted Swiss?

    Anyone Ever See Dotted Swiss?

    So many years ago, when I was starting out in my sewing lessons in middle school, there was a fellow classmate whom I admired from a distance.  You know how young girls could be–seeing someone and wish we could be like them.  Maybe have their hair, their clothes, their eyes, or something that we just […]

  • Spring is Here; Time for Planting and Renewal

    Spring is Here; Time for Planting and Renewal

    After driving down South for the better part of the day yesterday, I’ve come to the conclusion that Spring has finally arrived. All the daffodils were a riot of color. The redbud trees were beginning to bloom, along with the crab apple and plum. And the forsythia! Oh the forsythia! And while I’ve been awakening […]

  • The Groundhog Lied

    The Groundhog Lied

    I live in a part of the country where February 2 is almost a national holiday.  The tradition of Punxsutawney Phil, a ground hog (better known as a woodchuck) is used as an indicator for the following season:  6 weeks more of winter or 6 weeks of an early spring.  Either way, this furry hibernating […]

  • The Year is Drawing to a Close

    Yes, folks, we’re at this stage again.  That time of year when we all look back and reflect on what has been happening.  And while I won’t “get political” here, I’d like to take a moment to say “Thank You” to all of you who supported me this past year. I have had over 600 […]

  • What I Really Love About My “Job”

    What I Really Love About My “Job”

    Every now and then I get a little discouraged with my shop.  I think I’m not successful enough, don’t have enough sales, need to produce more to keep up, and all those chastisements that one goes through.  I struggle to find some kind of balance, and strive harder, only to see that I need to […]

  • Heeeere We Go!

    Heeeere We Go!

    In light of the massive rough and tumble world of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, etc., I decided this year I’d get smart.  Knowing Black Friday is supposed to be the busiest day of the holiday season, next to the day after Christmas, I found I didn’t want to follow along with everyone and participate.  […]

  • It’s One Week After that Nasty Awful Day

    It’s one week after the Presidential election and for this past week, I’ve been on sensory overload.  Whether it be the people I speak with, the fears I’m faced with, or the sensitivity I’ve been feeling from being around others, it seems that this past week, I’ve been in a cloud.  Whether it be a […]

  • I Can’t, Just Can’t….

    I Can’t, Just Can’t….

    A few weeks ago a dear friend called and asked if I would be interested in some vintage linens.  She was at a yard sale and a friend of hers was getting rid of her things. My friend, through her phone call, described what her friend was selling.  A pink cotton tablecloth set, containing gold […]

  • The Journey of a Hippie Chic Laptop Tote

    The Journey of a Hippie Chic Laptop Tote

    There was a movie (and two books) a while ago called The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.  A delightful tale of four women and a pair of jeans. Each woman had a story to tell about her adventures with the jeans, and each came away with a greater experience.  Well, so it was with my […]

  • Life Comes Back in Memories

    Life Comes Back in Memories

    Working with vintage textiles is such an adventure for me.  Many times I come across a piece of vintage embroidery and I remember the year which it was created because it was similar to a piece I stitched way back when.  It brings back for me the time spent calming down from a very stressful […]
