Flannel

Wow, it's been a while since I have blogged.  It feels good to be logged back in.  :)

I am excited to share some of my recent projects, with my most recent one being flannel pillow shams to liven up my cozy new white flannel bedding.  I took a paper-piecing class with focus on hexagons recently, so I took the extra liberty of embellishing the pillowcases with some hexes too!  I am now debating about adding some to the bottom of the comforter cover.  They are so quick and easy!

The flannel is from Anna Maria Horner's latest collection. They as luxurious as they look.

Productivity

These pictures remind me of what it means to live "the good life".

I am one who loves to stay busy.  I LOVE to create, to SEW, to DREAM, but the days we spent at the lake reminded me what it truly meant to love LIFE!

Idle

Here is my sewing basket... sitting idle while we were on the most marvelous family vacation ever!

Invaders

I guess that I should be delighted that my sewing room is such a cool place to hang out :)

An Original

My dream has always been to design my own patterns.  Well I have a long ways to go, but I had fun making this skirt for Izza Grace out of some scraps.  I hope to make another before she starts school in September.

Jackie O's

I have re-stocked my inventory at "Jackie O's Coffeehouse" in Galesville, WI.  Here's what's new!

Creativity

Eli has taken great interest in developing his creative side! As a mother, it has been a great delight to watch him develop a joy and love of being crafty while demonstrating intense patience.  Who wouldn't melt if their son asked, "Mommy, will you crochet with me?"
