My new Jess Hutch bear. I made this one for myself. I love him.
What else is going on? I’ve just been trying to keep up, to catch up! My bloglines is running out of control. So many great ideas have been sparked and now I’m just scrambling for time to try them all out. Right now I’m trying to learn how to draw with a Wacom tablet in Illustrator. Not an easy task.

My craftroom overhaul was successfully completed earlier this week and I’m in seventh heaven. It’s so easy now to see all my fabric at once. And all this empty space to lay things out.

Peekaboo — Tim named her and I think his Olympic fever is showing — came together very easily but her … More
I’ve been holding out on you. I’ve been waiting for just the right amount of sun (sunny but not too sunny) to take this picture. And well, that day isn’t coming so it’s just going to have to be today. I wanted to share one of the most wonderful presents I’ve ever received, a small quilt from Angry Amy Chicken. I love it so much I can’t even say. It warms my cockles. It’s so good I want to … More
