SIMPLY STATED : NEVER DULL
I have to admit a dirty little secret. It’s bad. You might want to cover the ears of younger children. Okay, and the ears of a few elderly folks. I’m quite ashamed to admit this to all of you… but here goes – I can’t stop plying. I used to be crazy for batts. I […]
Read More Step away from the plying head.You Northerners are welcome to your mild summers, this Southerner will take her snow day. I hate to start a blog post off with a rant, but I have to put it on the record – I am SICK and TIRED of people (some locals, some not) poking fun at those of us who use […]
Read More I’ll take my snow dayIt’s as if the end of the world is going to happen at 2:46PM tomorrow. Yes, at 2:46PM in Northwest Arkansas we might get some ice or snow and guys, let me tell you, it’s the end of the world. I think the local population, in general, is just freaked out after last year’s doomsday. […]
Read More We’re gettin’ all doomsday up in here.I’m betting money that many of you didn’t think I’d get this far. You thought I’d go, buy some batting, and realize it’s FAR too much work to try and lay out the backing, spread out the batting, re-smooth the backing from under the batting, straighten the batting back out, go fix that corner on […]
Read More Stop staring at my quilt sandwich!Today was a day of finishing projects that have been sitting around for well over a year or starting new ones so they don’t sit around for a year waiting to be touched. While going through more corners, drawers and boxes, I happened upon a stack of t-shirts. At first I gazed upon them in […]
Read More I do follow throughI’m feeling like Idyll Hands, my first love, needs a fresh new face. I’ve had the jewelry shop open on Etsy since September of 2007 and while changes have happened (branding, photography skills, style), it has not undergone a major change… ever. I’ve decided to shut the shop town temporarily, while I put some thought […]
Read More Everything is on sale!I may have seemed a bit snobbish in my last post so let me be the first to apologize. I in no way was trying to belittle those of you out there with kids at home, or elderly parents you’re taking care of at home, etc. I was speaking to those who stand in awe […]
Read More More on the topic of purgingIf you consider the fact that I have a 40-50 hour a week “career” job, run an Etsy street team, keep up with 2 blogs, spin yarn, dye and card fibers and make jewelry for 2 Etsy shops then you’d be pretty darned impressed at how I manage to find time to do other things. […]
Read More Me TimeI’ve gone mad… mad for fabric. I’m not sure what I’ll do about it and I really don’t think I have time for such nonsense. The last thing I need is another crafty hobby… right? Someone please stage an intervention. A couple of years ago at a fiber festival, I was introduced to Rabbits Lair. […]
Read More I Fell Down the Rabbit HoleThe recent kidnapping by “whatever comes after life on earth” of my mom has left me realizing that humans leave this earth very light compared to how they lived on this earth. We have too much stuff. We have shelves upon shelves of books, stacks and stacks of boxes full of papers, bins full of […]
