Every Friday night our family tries to do "movie night." Although it is getting harder the older everyone gets, we still try to make it a tradition to have pizza, treats and a favorite family movie....and sometimes a huge sleepover in the basement. I love that it's a good way to unwind from the week and when everything is dark and still I love to peek around and find everyone cuddled in a homemade quilt, snuggled warm and cozy. I finished this quilt a while ago to add to our "family movie night" ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: It isn’t always about YOU (or me)
Awhile back I was grocery shopping when I saw a woman who lives nearby. Our paths had crossed several times but we didn't really know each other however I decided to go over and say hello.

I had gone out of my way to talk with her and she totally snubbed me! And from that day on I put her on the ick ... View the Post
Quilt Block Tea Towel Tutorial
One of my absolute favorite things to give is a homemade loaf of bread and a little handmade love with a loaf of bread. It is a simple one that I know I have on hand, but still is a wonderful one to receive. And if you have a couple of leftover quilt blocks it makes it fast and easy to whip up a handmade tea towel in no time at all! It would be absolutely perfect for a teacher's gift! ... View the Post
Phorus PS5 Giveaway!!!
At our house we listen to a lot of music. A lot of music...everything from Neil Diamond to Meghan Trainor...and Nirvana to Patsy Cline...and everything in between. I listen to music when I am alone or with the kids. In the house, in the car, or in the yard. I always have the music on. It can cheer me up, calm me down, or even motivate me. I love my music. So I am loving my newest acquisition: My Phorus PS5 Speaker! It is pretty freaking awesome. ... View the Post
Learn to Quilt! An online course…
In March liZ and I went on a little adventure to film some beginning courses for Craft University. If you know us by now there is always a story to go with our travels----and this one was all about a snowstorm, not even having coats or appropriate shoes for snow, running off the road into a snowbank, getting pulled out by a man whose mother is a quilter, a closed airport, cancelled flights and a long trip back to Utah... ...
