Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I need today to go smoothly, please. After another horrific food-stealing incident on Monday morning (chocolate chips and raw-bacon) and both the TV and the A/C breaking yesterday, I'd like a drama-free day today. At least my Halloween decor is all done! Here's a peek at my living room... Ta da! I am loving the bold graphic design.

I might have revitalized it if I'd paid someone to come clean it professionally, but I was really tired of the red. It is … [Read more...]
So things have been progressing. Remember my original Living Room Plans? I've been working on that Zig Zag Quilt. I refuse to call it a Chevron quilt. Chevron is a gas station.
