Let’s try this again!
Yep. I sure haven’t done too good over the last two years when it comes to blogging. Lots of changes and a fair amount of upheaval are my excuses. That is no longer the case, however. I have pretty much settled into my new house and am back to my regular routine, and it’s time […]

A blessed time
Do you feel 2016 has been a tremendously chaotic and painful year for our world? It seems to me this last year has been charged with more hate, turmoil and sadness than in previous years.

More house pics
Believe it or not, three months after having moved into my new house we are still finishing things. Hopefully that will all end by tomorrow, and I will finally be able to move on to other things. Like sewing, and all things Christmas!

It’s about time!
Oh, yes… it’s been a long, long hiatus to be sure. Nearly a year now without blogging. The reason being: I’ve been building a house.

Time with Lulu
One of the most important things that have happened to me this year has been the time given to me to enjoy with my sweet granddaughter, Alexia.
A Victorian Advent Calendar
I’m a big Jacquie Lawson fan, and love using her greeting cards for all kinds of occasions all year long. My absolute favorite, however, has to be her Advent Calendars. Haven’t missed one yet!

Some of my favorites this year

Just a little bit of handwork
I haven’t really done much sewing in the last few months. Besides following along the construction of the house, I have been spending a lot of time working ahead on projects for next year. (I hope you will enjoy what is coming!)

Way too long… but I’ve been building!

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I love to dye my own fabrics, am a fanatic of free-motion quilting, and dabble with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
