I absolutely feel in love with this Coiled Rag Bowl last summer. I made this bowl to hold all the other rainbow gifts I made for Pixie’s birthday. I’ve meant to return to this project and make other containers using this technique, but alas, I have yet to. Hmmm… The roping can be coiled around something as …

After due consideration, I decided to make a bunny doorstop for several reasons; it got the most votes, it is seasonal, it is both a barnyard and woodland creature, and finally, and probably most importantly, Pixie wanted a bunny 🙂 Due to widespread family illness, I actually had a Sunday with nothing planned.

There have been many interesting ideas of how to use the design in the Little Birdies Eye Case for other projects. But then I thought, I might be thinking too small! It occurred to me that these little guys could, and should, be included in our Applique Blocks. So, I enlarged one little birdie 250%, …
The Three Birdies Glass Case has always been one of my favorite designs. Truth be told, I have about 20 pairs (no exaggeration) of reading glasses spewed throughout the house. I ALWAYS have a pair on top of my head… sometimes I forget and throw a second pair up there which gets me strange looks if …
When I hear “retro”, I think 1968. I was in 8th grade, and just becoming aware of things beyond my ken. A war was raging, the youth were protesting, girls were wearing mini skirts, boys were letting their hair grow long, and phrases like “Make Love Not War” and “Flower Power” were heard everywhere. Instead of …
Back when Michelle was in high school, her and a group of her friends decided to have a "formal" girls night out. Most of the girls had boyfriends, but they decided it would be fun to get all dressed up, go to a lovely restaurant, and party WITHOUT boys. And, just ’cause, they decided to …
We all have a collection of "basic" things. The "basic" black dress, the "basic" muffin recipe, and the "basic" sock pattern. These "basics" have proven to be dependable, familiar, and most importantly, adaptable. "Basics" can be altered slightly, tweaked and accessorized to create a different look or taste. "Basics" are the "tried and trues" that we …

Here are the Pup Birthday Bandannas promised earlier in the week. BUT these aren’t just for pups. A bandanna is a bandanna whether wrapped around your doggie’s neck or for keeping the hair out your eyes! Truly, the hardest part of making this bandanna is deciding on the size. Here is the standard sizes when purchasing …
NOTE: Although the number 5 is depicted in the applique, numbers 0 – 9 are included on the pattern. So… when could you possibly need numbers in the shape of bones?
