Flannel Quilt
A while back, I made a flannel quilt top for my husband. I had been promising him a blanket (quilt, crochet or knit) for so long, and this year I finally did it. I used Maywood Studio's Woolies Flannel Neutral 2.5" strips, which I purchased from Missouri Star Quilt Co. The pattern is a simple … Continue reading Flannel Quilt
2017 Book Recap
When 2017 comes to a close, I will have surpassed my Good Reads Challenge of 35 books. I have always been an avid reader, but after a hard 2015 it took quite a while to get my concentration/focus back. This is one of the reasons I love the yearly Good Reads Challenge, I set a … Continue reading 2017 Book Recap
In the Nick of Time
I finished my Christmas Tree Skirt in the nick of time! I found this pattern at Missouri Star Quilt Co. and fell in love with it. I purchased it and the fabric needed a long time ago. I have no idea why I didn't start this well before December, but I waited and then it was … Continue reading In the Nick of Time
Simple Holiday Decor
While I work diligently on my Missouri Star Quilt Christmas Tree Skirt (hopefully finishing in time for Christmas Eve), I made a quick project for Christmas Day. I found some fun Christmas fabric at Joann's and decided to make simple placemats for Christmas Day dinner. I found this simple tutorial on Hello Creative Family. Super … Continue reading Simple Holiday Decor
Daring Hat
A while back, I stumbled across Brome Fields Learn a 100 Knit Stitches in 100 Days. I followed that series and then started looking at the knit patterns available on the site. Now that I am feeling more confident in my knitting (can do more than a garter scarf!), I have been following the Brome … Continue reading Daring Hat
Fur Cowl
Yesterday I took a class at my local sewing studio (The Creative Sewing Studio). I love these one day classes as they fit easily into my schedule. This class was Boutique Quality Cowls. I purchased two "fur" fabrics from Joann's and chose the gray/steel one to make in the class. The biggest lesson about working … Continue reading Fur Cowl
Comfy, Comfy
I made pajama bottoms! Long ago, I purchases Craftsy.com's Learn To Sew Pajama Pants and I finally did the class. I purchased enough fabric to make three pairs (my favorite pajama bottoms are literally falling apart and it is time for new ones). All similar pattern, just different colors (sort of a vintage 40's pattern). … Continue reading Comfy, Comfy
Book Date
It has been a while since I posted my reads. This week I am listening to The Good Girl by Mary Kubica: "I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she works. I don't know the color of her eyes or what they look like when … Continue reading Book Date
Weekly Weigh In
I had to weigh in a day early due to work. This week, I am only down 0.1 lb. Not surprising after my big loss last week. Major pat on the back for only eating ONE cookie after Monday's baking session with Miss ME. This weeks workouts included: 21 DF Lower Fix YouV2 Rock and … Continue reading Weekly Weigh In
