Hooray! I finished and I had plenty of time to post it on the blog post to win a prize. I may not win, but hope springs eternal. I like this pouch. It’s interesting, yet normal, so surprising. It packs a punch and isn’t difficult to sew. There are some tricky bits, but it would … Continue reading “Finished: Enigma Bag”
Like many other Californians, we have been experiencing a lot of rain. We have, fortunately, had no leaks or flooding or any other problems. We have been stuck inside, which is great for sewing, but not so great for exercise. I hope this is the worst thing I have to deal with. Projects, Classes, Patterns … Continue reading “Various & Sundry 2023 #4”
I talked a little yesterday about the quilt shops I visited while in Portland. There were other random things we did, which were fun or amusing. A friend told me about a cake that she baked, Beatty’s Chocolate Cake. She baked it because it had the reputation of being so delicious. I wanted to try … Continue reading “Travel to Portland”
As briefly mentioned when I posted about the Minikins Season Three patterns from Sew Sweetness, I made a Hackney pouch as gift for the YM’s girlfriend/partner. She works as part of a forensics team and loves skeletons. This Timeless Treasures fabric is perfect for gifts for her and I still have quite a bit. I … Continue reading “Gift Post #6: Skeleton Hackney”

After I posted the last 26 Projects post, Sue S commented that I had accomplished a lot. It made me wonder if I should just post the new stuff and not make it an accumulation? That might make it easier to see what I have accomplished in one month. I tried it, but the result … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #10”
Projects, Classes, Patterns & Tutorials My friend Mary C really likes the projects provided by Jo Westfoot, the Crafty Nomad. Mary C has sewed along with several projects including Glitter Ball. I confused her work with that of GnomeAngel. Still, it is fun to explore new sites, especially when they keep their blogs up to … Continue reading “Various & Sundry 2022 #10”

I am sad to say that Natalie is ending the Happy Box subscription due to supply chain issues. I am sad even though I don’t really need most of the things that come in the box. It was really fun to receive the boxes and see what was included. I really liked the make-up/skincare products … Continue reading “Last Happy Box”
