Yummy Baked Goods

I love a yummy baked good. Gimme chocolate croissants, maple long johns, brownies....okay, just about anything from a bakery.

Imagine my sheer joy when my love of baked goods and quilting miraculously came together with this darling website.


You can "cook" to your hearts content...no calories involved!

"Eye" heart this Blogger

I came across this VERY creative blogger not long ago and I have to say there is so much to heart about her. One of her latest and greatest ideas involves eyelets...I mean, seriously, eyelets?! Check out the entire project here



You are gonna be shocked at what she came up with! Who would have thought....

fashion advice

Whew....it's been a few days since I posted last. We had a whirlwind weekend around here with lots of fun family action, but I am back in the groove and ready to heart some more stuff.

Today while cruisin' the net I came across this little beauty.


Domestic Fashionista has some great ideas and tutorials for fashioning up your home. I got a few new ideas to get my creative juices flowing again and can't wait to hit my craft/sewing room.

As you know, I heart crafting very much, so this new blog will be a great addition to my loooooong list of favs.

craftarafting favs

I thought I'd post some of my favs from my week of craftarafting.








I heart them....or I wouldn't have made them in the first place, right?

fond memories

Today during the aforementioned craftaganza, I was doing some sewing on my grandma's old sewing machine. I remember sitting in the "spinny-aroundy" chair eating the butter and sugar sandwiches (yeah, it's true) she made for me watching her sew on this very machine. Never imagined thirty-ish years later that I'd be creating on it too.



I asked my mom why she wasn't using her sewing machine? "Honestly," she said "this one works better."

They just don't make them like they used to. I heart this machine. It's loud, the needle isn't quite in the center and it has absolutely no fancy stitches. Hopefully it will get passed down to me someday.....cause it'll probably work better than mine.
