Hi Everyone! This is a super quickie project. One I've had on the brain for a while but just this morning decided to do. Headphone covers! I'm old school. I have tried ear buds and other ear pieces but to my dismay, those usually hurt my ears. Jim has some super monster noise cancelling headphones… Continue reading Headphone Cover Replacement Tutorial! – For old school earphones and people that can’t use ear buds…

Scrappy Saber Sawtooth Quilt Update!
I had no idea this 8 pointed star block was also called the Sawtooth Star. I guess it all depends on what you grow up with or learn as you learn your quilting. Apparently it's fairly popular...so nothing new here. However, just like the Churn Dash block quilt, this block is super easy to make… Continue reading Scrappy Saber Sawtooth Quilt Update!
Epic Fermented Pickle Fail!
This is my second attempt at naturally fermented food. And my second FAIL. My first attempt was sauerkraut gosh, that was 2 and a half years ago and I've not tried it since. But somehow all the Youtube videos make it look so easy and fool-proof. Harrumph I say! So today was completion day for… Continue reading Epic Fermented Pickle Fail!
Stash Challenge Progress
Just to re-cap. Out of the fabrics I've pulled from the stash... I've been making these pieces into these 8 pointed star blocks... The combinations of fabrics are completely wild.

Dwasifar’s Restored 201!
Here are a couple of pictures of one of my readers' restored Singer 201.

Sure, We’ll Take a Half Bushel! – Pickling Till I’m Blue!!!
Hey Everyone! On our way home from Michigan over the weekend we stopped off at a farm looking for cherries. We bought a couple of pounds of tart cherries but what we were so thrilled about were the cucumbers! I know, only us right? Jim loves pickles, especially if they are spicy or hot. I… Continue reading Sure, We’ll Take a Half Bushel! – Pickling Till I’m Blue!!!
Time to Harvest Lavender!
Oh Glorious Lavender! It is time! If you grow Lavender you'll know what I mean when I say "It's Time!" Lavender has a short window of opportunity to get it harvested, usually within a week... The flowers bloom... ...usually it takes a few days before all of them bloom... ...and then they… Continue reading Time to Harvest Lavender!
Stash Patrol – Working Out the Working Stash by Pulling out the Scrap!
I've had this on the 'To Do' list for awhile. I've been wanting to completely remove every little bit of fabric from this stash that is less than a fat quarter and get it cut up into useable pieces. Here's a look at what the stash looks like before I started my organization... It's not… Continue reading Stash Patrol – Working Out the Working Stash by Pulling out the Scrap!

Camping and Quilting – Tackling Two Loves at Once!
Summer happens so quickly around here. For months we deal with cold and snow and then almost like magic the weather turns warm and summer happens! If we don't get out and enjoy it we'll miss it. That is why I LOVE our new camper. This past weekend was an annual trip to Van Buren… Continue reading Camping and Quilting – Tackling Two Loves at Once!
