This past week has seen me travelling from one craft fair to another and getting a little “frayed” around the edges! Next year I have already resolved to not do as many shows, but I am definitely sticking with my Vermont Hand Crafter’s Show at the Sheraton Conference Center in South Burlington, VT. It is [...]

Over the week-end I started to put together what I thought was going to be the Vermont Farm baby quilt. But when I finally got to putting the whole thing together up on the design wall, I was not happy with the fabrics! Eeek! Everything worked together pre-assembly, but post-assembly, I did not care for [...]

This week has seen me burning the midnight oil (as well as the 1 and 2 am oil!) in making Halloween costumes for my guys. My oldest wanted to be a penguin and the youngest picked a winged-bat-creature-superhero-type-costume that had to be the most obnoxious pattern ever made. So even though I did not make [...]
