*********Note: As of March 6, 2009– the swap is closed!*********
It’s that time again! Spring is approaching and what better way is there to rejuvenate your scrap bin than to participate in another super-fun Patchwork Swap? Here’s how it works:
What: A swap! Mail a package of  30-40 fabric scraps that are at least 3×5″ large (you’re welcome to send larger [...]

I have lots of little things I’d like to update, but right now I’m feeling overwhlemed with life. I’m glad you’re still reading, though- and wanted to share this project I made in January.
At the moment, I’m still down in TX taking care of my darling nephew. Seriously, he is so cute that I don’t [...]

So remember how you all asked for a tutorial on those fabric bowls? And I kicked and screamed and said “No, I’m busy?”  Well, I finally made one and posted it up at Craftstylish. Enjoy!

I actually wish I had some more clothesline to make more right now. Um, not that my pile of them is [...]

It has been a rough time for me and my family lately. If the blog is quiet, which I expect it to be, please continue to check back as I’m sure I’ll get into the swing of things again.  I’ve been back from TX for five days now and seem to be spinning my wheels- I have lots [...]

I’m not going to lie, things have been quite stressful around these parts. But at least there is this little guy to keep us all smiling:

He’s wearing the Fleece Baby Wrap from Stitch Magazine (I sized up the 9 months to a 12 months size, but the 9 months probably would have fit better. Oh [...]

It’s about time for another procrastinatory (to me)  blatant self promotional post. I’ve got a few projects out in  books and magazines available now, and I wanted share. First off are some lovely holiday items in the latest issue of Sew Simple, which is on newsstands now. I really had fun making these adorable house ornaments, [...]

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who purchased something from the Hope For Jasenn Shop. I am well on my way to my fundraising goal and everyone has been so lovely! Thanks also to those of you who have contacted me about donating things for the shop-I think I’ve responded to all of [...]

Hello again. It feels like it’s been a while since I posted because I was in a foggy congested state last week, but I’m still here. You might have noticed (if you click over to my actual blog, since you won’t see it in the reader) that I’ve added a wee Donate button to my [...]

Now that the Tegue has received his secret Auntie presents I can safely post them here. I’m pretty sure that at 9 months old he doesn’t read this blog, but why take the chance?

I brought him baby blocks and a crocheted giraffe! I actually made some blocks for an upcoming article using a different technique, [...]
