My sewing machine’s on the fritz
I want to smash it to bits
But I know if I do
There’ll be hell to pay too

That’s me right now – far too many projects I am trying to get done before Christmas and some of them are going to have to wait – including the LTTS puppet theatre I had planned for my toddler. Oh well – I will get her something small for under the tree and sew it up after the holidays and she won’t even know ;-). I won’t be able to get away with…[Read more]

I printed it off and am checking off all the patterns I have (and the one I just picked up in the awesome holiday sale!) :-). I did notice that the forest path cape was labeled as the firefly jacket. But this is a great checklist, thanks Kim!

Basements really do cramp your sewing, don’t they? I can’t sew a seam and watch my kids. I can’t sew and chat. I can’t go, “oooh look honey, how good this is turning out.” (Although come to think of it, I get the same response to the empty basement that I do from my husband.– hahahah). Anti social, really. I do sew less in the basement.…[Read more]

Kim has been kind enough to update the checklist for everyone again to include styles through Fall 2014! Thanks Kim.

Thank you so much for all the ideas! I’m going to get an adjustable floor to table lamp this afternoon, all being well, and I’m going to order one of those LED machine strip lamps as well. I didn’t think the light was that bad in the room, but I took a picture today. OK, so it’s an overcast Autumn into Winter kind of a day, but…[Read more]

There once was a quilter named Lizzy
But quilting was making her dizzy
So she looked for a dress
She could sew to impress
But the prints she had all were too busy

Getting back into the sewing groove finally, though it’s hard to force myself down into the basement to do so (no windows there). I just finished up the birthday princess dress marathon. Sadly, I have really grown to despise sewing princess dresses.

I have had a Playtime dress cut out for older DD for ages but it sits, unseen. Got 90 percent…[Read more]

Since we’ve moved, I’m in the basement (windowless, sob) too, Cybele. I find that I sew much less 🙁 Part of it is that I do have a great deal less time to sew than I used to, and part of it is that I hate being in a windowless space. I have grand plans to hang some tapestries on the walls and decorate the exposed beam ceiling with twinkle…[Read more]

While back I got demoted from DR to basement. I started eeking myself back up to DR. Oh I will just be up here for this project. Oh I am starting a new one. Oh I am mid project. LOL

Basement is bad for several reasons: light, temperature, and dirt.

For temp, we have a space heater for my toes.

For light, I have overhead fluro and an…[Read more]

I used to clutch my pearls at the thought of matching but I’ve completely changed my tune, match the hell out of it.

I just recently ordered from Rockywoods and loved them, lucky you!
