Also known as #15 on the list. This quilt was made for my most super dearest friend, Anna, to give to her sister for the birth of her daughter, Maci Noel. I used remnants of lots of projects for the blocks on front and some uber cute crab fabric that I picked up at JoAnn’s [...]

Last night Garth took me to see Coraline and I think that I spent the entire time with my mouth open wide in wonder. We saw it at a theater that offered it in 3D and it was delicious! There were Scotty dogs with wings, performing jumping mice, and evil mothers with button eyes. I’ve [...]

It’s pretty good [...]

I can’t stop making pom poms. Back in December I wanted to make some to use as a garland to decorate the bare fireplace in my bare living room in my bare home and I found this tutorial. Since then I find myself with yarn in my hand whenever I’m watching TV or eating breakfast. [...]

i am itching to sew and bake and craft! laura is getting so domestic…

This beauty is finally done. I think that I’ve been working on it (with Garth’s help) for over a month now. In case you haven’t been following, this is the end product of two old filing cabinets, a sander and reciprocating saw, primer, chalkboard paint, casters and nuts and bolts. Oh, and hinges. I entered [...]

This installment of making has been seriously delayed because I was too busy… well, I was too busy making.
