And it’s only spring. The temps are rising into the 90’s here (and I should probably be counting my blessings, knowing how the local weather goes). I am enjoying spending more time outside in the garden– since I work from home most days, it’s a way that I can break up the day. My usual [...]

Lately I’ve been “in between” crochet projects- nothing huge (that I can show you) to work on, and so I keep alternating between big things (like the Ripple Blanket) and small, instant gratification things. And so I turned to my stash of Lion Cotton, from which I’ve been knitting washcloths, and thought I’d make some [...]

In case you missed “Crafty By Nature”  this month on Craft Stylish, I wanted to do a little round up of  my projects. Most of mine were focused on the “reduce” part of the equation, the idea being that you can make items to use and reuse in an effort to green your house a [...]

It’s time to share a few recent projects again, and I’ll be covering everything from scraps to….politics. I don’t want to start any arguments and I’m not telling you how to vote (although I do think it’s important that you vote), but I did want to plug the People in the Middle for Obama Project, [...]

This is officially my 100th post. Woo-hoo! I figured I should do something to celebrate with y’all. I really appreciate all of your comments. Although I don’t respond to each one, I do read them and they really make my day– I hope you know that.
As a present to you, dear readers, I’m giving away one [...]

Today I decided to get down to business. I cleaned. I finished my quilt top. I put the laundry away. I saw my bag of “off to goodwill” clothes and rummaged through it. I have 4 or 5 tops– the same exact top, but different colors and stripes– that are just too short from all [...]

 
Little by little I’m making all of the things that’ll make this apartment feel like home to me. Saturday night (yes, I am a dork), I made six cloth napkins to complement our placemats. They are the simplest sewing project ever. I just cut them to size (about 15″ by 18″) then pressed each edge [...]

Still settling in here…my craft room is coming together, although it needs a lot of organizing. I finally have all of my craft books on one shelf, which is nice! I’m really enjoying Bozeman, although I must confess I haven’t been outside very much (barring my 2 mile walk to the grocery store today. It [...]

Just a quick note to let you know about a great new eco-blog run by two friends of mine: Tiny Choices. Kari has always been my inspiration for doing little things that can help the environment (she composts with worms– in her apartment!), and the blog is about those things. Maybe we can’t do [...]
