It seemed like a silly thing to do, make another blanket/duvet/quilt item in the middle of Summer, but this is the Summer to do it! This thing has seen plenty of use already. I had 2 half yards of cute new Emily Isabella for Birch Organic fabric that had just arrived in the mail and I thought if only I could make something fast and not even put this in my stash. I cut it into 9″x9″ squares and cut … More

Margaret Bloom’s second book, Making Peg Dolls & More
It’s no secret that I’ve become a smitten kitten with Margaret Bloom‘s book on creating peg doll people.

The toys are adorable, … More

So much so that I was compelled to make a stuffed toy version … More

easy v. difficult
Some projects are difficult. Project Life is really hard for me. The one bazillion decisions involved… picking photos, placement, embellishment, journaling, etc. I can’t tackle it if anyone else is in the house, if I have any errands or interruptions, nothing. I need big empty chunks of time because it’s so challenging for me.
Painting peg people on the other hand, way too easy. Especially since I still haven’t cleaned them up from Christmas. They’re right here on the dining … More
