Amazing invention!

The THIMBLE!I’ve never used one before. Clearly, as they’ve been around for hundreds of tees, I’m late drinking the koolaid, but OMG they’re amazing!!! I have tried them before on my thumb or index finger, but it turns out they go on your middle finger. I was able to FINISH 2.5 sides of my quilt […]

musings…

30-minute pants…

Easter Bunny Peeps Pins!

More Easter prep…

while the Bean took a (short) nap today, we colored eggs… C and D colored easter eggs… (I made C wear an apron, and I only have girly aprons…) this was D’s first time, so mostly we did plain eggs, but he was thrilled by them. look how pretty! (they’re drying on D’s geo-board) there […]

Wet felted Easter eggs…

I was clearly overly ambitious. My plans were to knock out 18 of thesetonight… I did 6. Will start earlier tomorrow night… (based on the tutorial found here)
