2019 April Favorites
My word…April flew by! I can’t believe it’s May already and the end of the school year is just weeks away. Crazy. I’m not sure if I’m ready for summer just yet! Anyway, before we get ahead of ourselves, let me share some of my favorite things from April… Les Misérables on Masterpiece I’m pretty […]
why there is a Christmas wreath on my door in April
I learned last spring that one can get away with having Christmas greenery and lights up on a porch until April in Minnesota. Since there is still snow on the ground, it just works and seems acceptable. (On Instagram, a reader and I dubbed the snow pattern on this door “snowmbre”. Get it? Snow…ombre? Moving […]

designing fabric & papers for spoonflower
A few weeks ago, I shared that my second quilting fabric collection with FreeSpirit Fabrics wasn’t going to be produced. (You can find that post HERE.)

straightening the studio closet doors
