I Will Just Be Blunt!
In case you have been wondering about the inconsistent posting here and over at Kitsch Designs lately, I will just put it out there. This…. ….equals an amazing energy sucking, exhaustion inducing, fall-on-my-face-after-chasing-a-two-year-old excuse to sleep rather than blog. I promise I am doing my best to get back on track folks.

Fun Fabric Friday : Valentine’s Day Love And Hate
I know this is a bit early, but I was searching and found some cool prints to share. These all ended up coming from Spoonflower, my new favorite place to go for cool prints. I really do need to try my hand at making something over there soon. For now, here are some hip Valentine’s … Read more

I recently opened a new store on Etsy called, KD Vintage. This new shop is home to all my vintage treats, leaving room in my original store for handmade items. … Read more
Library Love : Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts
How I never came across this book before is beyond me, but I am so glad to have grabbed it at our last little library adventure. I say “grabbed” because when you are toting an excited 2.5 year old through the library to any section other than the kids area, you have to work fast. On … Read more

Library Love : Wear This, Toss That!

Fun Fabric Friday : Sales, Sales, SALES!
It seems like all the stores are unloading their fabric like crazy right now and I am being lured into some serious overspending. Pull yourself together kid, you CAN just buy what you need…you CAN, you can….maybe you can… ;o) I ran by Joanne’s today to check out their cottons for my PJ project and they did … Read more
Monthly Recap ?
Normally, well for the last few months anyway, there would be a monthly recap post some where in these first two weeks of the year. But, sadly, last month was filled with much more merry making than crafting or sewing. So, rather than a recap I will just let you know that the Project Index … Read more
The List Making Begins
I may or may not have noted here before that I am a list maker. It’s to the point of needing lists to keep up with my lists. And, I often make such a huge and unattainable list of things that I want or need to do, that I end up disappointed in the results…or … Read more
