A view from my window

The Lifestyles channel is participating in a channel-wide challenge (boy, try saying that three times fast!) called “A View From My Window”.
I’m not sharing my window (you guys got to see that quite recently anyhow), but I am sharing what’s growing in my window.  I posted these photos last year, when I had three buds […]

De-Stash Your Studio challenge - the final check in

It’s Earth Day my lovely readers, and do you know what that means?  The end of the De-Stash Challenge!
I’ve kept my promise, I haven’t bought any fabric since the challenge began, on March 17th.   Those of you who know me well, know that isn’t the easiest thing for me :-)  I’ve only been seriously tempted […]

tip of the day - sewing with velvet
