Davies Plantation Quilt Show

So this quilt show I went to last weekend was a lot different then I thought it’d be.  It was really pretty neat.  I don’t really know anything about the history of the Davies Manor, but it’s this really neat old house set off in a wooded area of town.  It’s on a bit of [...]

Busy Bee

It was seeming that just as my to-do list was at it’s longest, my desire to do any of it was at it’s lowest.  A few weeks ago I just didn’t feel like doing anything crafty, or anything productive, for that matter.  But I’m out of my funk, and the last couple of weeks have [...]

Tatting Adventures

About a month ago, I bought this booklet…

The booklet had the needles included, and I bought some really pretty variegated thread.  I think it’s always more fun to learn something when you have pretty supplies.  The plan was to learn how to do it while I was sitting in jury duty.  Anyone who’s been to [...]
