A Bit of Unselfish Sewing
The February Stash Busting Theme has to do with love. One of the options is to make something for someone you love. I finally got around to making a couple of things for my mother-in-law, Lucia. I’ve wanted to do this for her for a really long time. I don’t have pictures of her modeling,…

Miss Bossy Patterns Wants to Know
Next month the theme over at The Monthly Stitch is sewing up stashed patterns. They decided that was too easy a theme, so they added a twist. I need to take a poll to decide which pattern from my stash I should sew up in March. I went through my stash, looking for a candidate…

I’ve managed to avoid doing a 2013 wrap-up. While I enjoyed reading everyone else’s top 5 lists, a la Gillian, I haven’t wanted to be that introspective. I can’t entirely avoid the introspection right now though, since I’m setting a new project goal for 2014. Why corresponding to the new year when I don’t do…
