Moving the Sewing Room

Making a transition to the cellar has proven to provide more working, functional space. It amazes me how one adapts to their environment, regardless of where they live. I am not typically a person who likes to rearrange furniture frequently, as it is tiring, more so as I get older. Yet, as our youngest daughter […]

It has been awhile since I have shared on my blog while wanting to get back to sharing projects that I work on. After making the difficult decision to shut my business down due to personal reasons, I was able to focus on my family as well as myself, while taking this necessary break. I was […]

Dyeing for Change

  We can so easily toss an item, due to a stain, a rip, or any imperfection that could be fixed. Sometimes we find a second hand article of clothing or home decor that just needs a little TLC, or when we bring it home, we discover that that it needs more than a simple […]

Leftover Fabric Makes for a Great Tote

Published by on August 29, 2014 | Leave a response

My previous post A Cushion for Fishing provided me with a great piece of leftover fabric, along with a few smaller pieces as well. I toyed with the idea of making another cushion, but decided that I really did not want to invest in another piece of foam, creating something that probably would not get used […]

Published by on July 24, 2013 | Leave a response
