bookplate

I like how you roll Nunzio. Loving this bookplate from a thrifted Amelia Bedelia book we found on vacation. I have LOTS of new old books to share. It was book sale month for us and we picked up so many amazing finds. I’ll try to take pics today. Also I realized I’ve sewn 3 or 4 things that I haven’t blogged. Probably bc I can’t figure out how to do so without taking photos of myself. Maybe I’ll work … More

4 cans of zinsser and 1 can of cottonball white

We have a new bright and happy family room at the Lang household. It’s all of our favorite things together, Ikea showroom meets garage sale treasures.

scenes from the craft room

We’re gripped in end of school frenzy over here, as I imagine most everyone is. I’ve popped in to say that I sent an email out to the mailing list but it did not send. Another computer dilemma needing to be fixed. Love those. Anyhoo, the news of the day… there is another batch of Super X-Stitchettes in the shop.
