Hi everyone! Today we are going to talk about sewing straight lines. I know some of you are thinking---is she crazy to do a whole day's post all about sewing straight lines? And yes, yes, I am. Sorry. But it really is a problem that I had when I first started sewing. And maybe some of you do too...... So, I give you now a 5 minute video of me talking about straight lines (ahhhh....I really didn't think I was talking for 5 minutes). And please don't judge my voice. Ack.....don't you ...

What I Wish I’d Known When I Started Sewing: Get To Know Your Machine!!!
The first thing you need to do when you start sewing is get to know your machine. Really get to know your machine...and I'm not talking speed dating here...I'm thinking more like a few late nights, some lazy morning conversations, and of course some lunchtime business meetings. Seriously! Get to know that thing----it's quirks, it's capabilities, and it's features. That may sound like a lot of work (and it is) but it's worth it...just like any other long-term committed relationship is ... View the Post

My goal this year was to fill it with family, friends and faith....and except for a few bumps in the road {like the sickies} I think it was overall a wonderful success. We hope yours was too.And although we are taking the next couple of days off to be filled with things like hot cocoa, sledding and game-playing....we do have some thrilling and exciting things planned for 2014.We are going to start it off with a bang and host a "What I wish I knew ...

DIY Gold Frames (that kids of all ages like to make)
Today we are sharing a project that I've been making with kids of all ages for years. It began as an art project for my students but have found that it is just as fun to make and give as gifts...especially to grandparents! It all started when I was teaching art history and I wanted a project that was fun and different to go along with our study of the Baroque period. I'll spare you the art lesson but suffice it to say that during that time period in art everything was ornamented and ... View the Post
