I’ve decided to do “A Year in Review” this week, and I’ve broken it into four pieces: Crafting, Food, Photography, and my 101 list. I started this blog in August of 2008, and it took me a bit to get a feel for what I wanted it to be. Now that I’m in a rhythm, [...]

Thanks to Tyler, I’ve finally not only learned to successfully cut my shirts, but they are all cut! Next step will be buying the rest of the fabric (which probably needs to wait for December’s budget). But look! They’re all cut and arranged!
It is so crazy to look at all of these shirts and feel [...]

Positive Thought Diapers

I recently attended my first baby shower of my grown up life for two of our beautiful coworkers. Kate spent time to make these adorable little baskets for each of our two moms-to-be.
The idea was for each of us to use sharpies to write an encouraging note on each of the little newborn-sized diapers. Then, [...]

I bought this amazing wind chime at a little shop in Door County over Labor Day weekend. I know it’s not necessarily a “craft” but it reminds me of how creative people can be. I am completely in love with it!
Journal Project

Though I love keeping journals, I, like most people, am very bad at keeping up with them. I always start out strong and die out by the end of the month. I recently read a great idea, however, from The Happiness Project about keeping a “non-journal.”
The concept is simple. Find a journal with at least [...]

Weekend Wish List: Colored Tape!
If you know me or my crafting tendencies at all, you know I love ribbon. I love wrapping presents with nice, fabric ribbon. I try to keep little spools of variously patterened ribbons on hand, though they run out all too quickly.
But something I’ve been eyeing for a long time that [...]

This weekend I managed to do a few things to prepare my t-shirts for the big quilt.
First, I ironed interfacing onto the back of my 30 ADPi t-shirts to ensure that they won’t stretch over the next several decades. In this picture you can see the interfacing (always cut these sections larger than your actual [...]
