All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost: The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost; From the ashes, a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadow shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again […]
Our girl was doing a research project on elephant conservation, so I decided she needed an elephant shirt to wear during her presentation. It was a good little presentation, and she learned the awful things that happen to the poor elephants. She’s an animal lover for sure. Right now she is thinking of becoming a […]
Well, I think I am finally caught up at work, so now to try to stay on track and not lose focus. I know eventually I’m going to have a lot of down time before my job officially ends, so I need to make sure I focus on productive tasks instead of being on Facebook […]
My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – April blizzard…16+ inches of snow in our town. Give or take an inch. Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was something woven, and I got a pretty fun skirt done. It is part of a strike off outfit due at the end of the […]

Well, it happened…I missed a week. Work has been kicking my arse lately, and I really didn’t sew much in the last few weeks. It was my first full week working from home, too, and I do quite like it. I did end up still working late pretty much everyday, but being able to shut […]
Well, she’s all ready for the next shark week! The girl loves sharks, and also did a project for one of her classes on ocean pollution. It was an eye-opening experience for her on what us humans do to our ecology. She is very interested in animals, and plans to become a veterinarian. We’ll see […]
You were chosen to test a pattern, sewed up a muslin/final product, gave comments and now it is time for final photos. Or maybe you sew up strike-offs, samples, for fabric promotion.
