I spent entirely too much time on Pinterest. I’ll just put that information out there. It’s probably not news to most people. Anyhoo. Lately I’ve been looking at Christmas crafts and posting them to my Christmas ideas section in the “diy craft make” board. These recycled jewelry trees caught my eye. Between projects last week, […]

Sometimes when my depression is bothersome, I retreat into my phone. Not a good idea if I open a game, which is why to do that I have to download one. Pinning is not quite the same as playing a game: in the end, there’s a board of ideas. So I’ve added ideas to a

I realize that the Dream Big panels have lost some of their popularity, but I still think they are wonderful. I love the possiblilities that they present. And especially love to look at them for quilting ideas. That’s what I’m thinking of tonight as I get ready to (finally!) quilt my Sugaridoo quilt. More on

Some followers have been hanging out with me for, well, let’s just say a long time. I always appreciate followers, so I want to go back down the list (how far back is a mystery) and say thanks with a shoutout to them. Pam Jones has a board titled “Coastal Living” that I think you’ll
