New Year’s Yuck…

So, anyone who has been coming to my blog for a while knows that I have Diverticulum.

I went out with my friends to a masquerade NYE. Lots of fun, until it wasn’t.  Apparently, four drinks plus diverticulum equals…well…to put it nicely…yuck!

Anyone with this affliction out there…just wanted to let you know that alcohol is now poison to your system. Even in cooking it lingers quite strongly.

I don’t make new years resolutions…I just end up not living up to them. I am however, going to try to take better care of myself. Occasionally when I run across a tip, I’ll pass it along.

Take care of yourself in 2012!

2012 WIPocalypse…

Thanks to Patty over at PipStitch I have signed up for this. Maybe I’ll actually get some of my WIP’s done…next year! If you have a lot of WIP’s, you should sign up too!

A Little Bit of Awesomeness…

I found this via Craft Gossip…it’s just too cool not to share! Just click the link and see what I mean!

Planning Ahead…

I have been very uninspired about making Christmas presents. It seems that every other year this happens. One year it will be gangbusters sewing, the next…not so much.

I am however, planning ahead. I have a project I want to work on in January…when I can’t feel guilty for not using my crafting time to make presents.

I have found the cutest little free block of the month here at “With Needle and Thread.” Here are just a couple of images of the blocks:

 

Aren’t these darling? And since I apparently have a purse fetish (you should see how many I’ve made!) this will make the best little wall hanging for my sewing area! I’ll print them out as is (minus the dotted lines) and embroider all the details. I also plan to use only fabrics from my stash…I have way too much fabric!!!

So what do you think? Anybody want to join me?

Bias Tape

So I’ve never been very good at applying bias tape. It seems to be a problem for many of us. I just stumbled across this video from Amy at Angry Chicken…it’s awesome!
