Le Challenge


A new challenge each month to interpret any crafty way you want. Check it out! Lucy @ Charm about You, is a true talented artist and a whole lot of fun and her friend Nat I am sure is too! The first challenge will begin Friday, March 15, 2013, and your creation is due the following month on the 15th. I am going to try it out and see!



Amanda @ The Cozy Pumpkin came up with the "Year of the Stash" button to remind impulse fabric buyers to think before you buy. You know what? I think it helps! So click the button and check it out! It is so nice to know I am not alone!

George, (2), chihuahua smooth, Brandy aka Puppy, (15) pug/beagle mix, awaiting their boy to come home from school. Notice that old crochet blanket? I crocheted that on the plane on my way to California to wait for David's birth, 7 1/2 years ago. It has been loved to death but held up well. I just found a pink/yellow mix to make one for little Zoey.

Found these at Walmart for around $4.00 a skein! They make great soft blankets for the lil ones.

the covert robin button



Stalking my partner on her blog/flickr/Pinterest for ideas on what to make for her special gift! If you have any ideas please let me know what you think! I am open to suggestions, $20 - $30 handmade gift!

I started David's Lorax quilt. I showed him last night what I was planing to do and he asked me "Can't I just have them and hang them on the wall"? So when I am done with all the blocks, they may end up mini quilts all over his walls. I wonder where he got that idea from? I am off to enter giveaways have a great day! Create and be unique, Lisa

    Lisa -- I know that this means that you are not my covert Robin -- because if you were you'd have ideas coming out your ears (darn). I am working on my covert robin as well and have decided to make a crochet item -- because it appears that this is something that she has been wanting to learn and I am also making a small quilted item -- probably a mug rug or small wall hanging with her favorite quote on it. Hope this helps and good luck -- can't wait to see what you come up with.

    Hi! Was looking at your "George" Chihuahua and he looks just like our "Tasha" that we think is part Corgi, but maybe not. I thought Chihuahuas were small & skinny and nervous? There are probably different types of them.

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
