Filed Under: inspiration, sewing

Most of the time I love to sew in silence. To listen to the hum of my machine as I press the foot pedal below. I love to see the needle bob up and down, to watch it play with the fabric. It’s like it’s own game of jump rope; the thread as the rope… [Read More]

It’s an uber chilly morning here — currently -5* outside {thumbs down}. Bauer and I are staying cozy warm inside, though! I’m about to make some hot chocolate and get to work finishing up a final batch of nine Gussy Christmas stockings and tote bags/laptop bags. We need groceries, but since over 2′ of snow… [Read More]
