Hi and welcome.
I'm Jessica, Ret. Army wife to Mike and mom to four great kids aged 6 to 19.
We just relocated for the last time, still getting settled a bit and back into our groove.
Luckily I have "my room" my own space to sew, craft, chit chat on line, watch tv in peace or just hide away if I need to.
I have always loved to sew and craft
and then in adulthood I learned to love cooking (and eating).
Here I keep track of yummy recipes that the husband says "write that one down" normally I'm a toss,chop,sprinkle kind of cook.
I also post about the dresses, dolls, toys, bags that I sew up.
Just this past year or so I have gotten into quilting, I'm self teaching by following blogs and participating in block swaps to tone my skills. So of course quilts pop up here and there too.

I'm excited to be able to show to you the things I
make, through pictures and tutorials.
I try different things out here and there so items I post about will vary throughout the seasons.

I would like the presents for sewing.
Love your Penny Patch. Vintage sheets are so nice for sewing, but I find them prohibitively expensive whenever I find them for sale. I would love to win the sewing package.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower - would love to win the sewing giveaway. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like to quilt too. The sewing giveaway would be the one for me.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are great. I love your vibrant choice of color! I also have 4 children, 10 and under. I look forward to the day when I can actually stay in a separate room for more than 4 minutes without interruptions, but I'm enjoying this time too. My 7 year old son asked if he could make a quilt today. I'd love to participate in your giveaway, the sewing one is for me! I'll be following.
ReplyDeleteI am a happy new follower! Enjoy your new creative 'private' space...may you have many happy creative hours of fun! As a quilter...#1 would be my pick as I never have enough pins....but those colors in #2 are calling my name.

So nice to meet you via the GYB party. Your pictures are great. I love the coasters. Both prizes are great, I'd go for the scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to use up fabric scraps to make a lovely piece of work. Love fabric over paper. THanks for the giveaway chance.
ReplyDeleteOh Paleo cooking! That is right up my alley. I do a blog post called Monday Munchies, maybe we should get together and combine our love of food. I have moved a lot so I understand how ungrounded it feels. Good to hear that you are settling in. Your quilting is lovely. It has been so nice meeting you.

I enjoyed your rainbow quilt. Very pretty. I am looking forward to reading your blog. Both of your prizes are great, I would pick the sewing.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Very nice work. I work with textiles.
ReplyDeleteHi, I've come from the grow your blog party so I'm new to your blog. I'm trying to teach myself to quilt at the moment too. I'm a fabric person rather than paper.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica, nice to 'meet' you! Nice that you've moved for the last time and can settle a bit. I've moved a lot in the past and have loved living in one place now for a while. Love both of your giveaways...so generous! My crafting is all over the place, from fabric to paper, and back to paper again, and maybe even a combo of both together! So, truly, either of your giveaways would be lovely to win!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your blog. I have really enjoyed my visit. Happy hopping!

Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteHow nice to meet you! I haven't had enough time to visit all the blogs during the party, so I just browsed through the names and picked out the ones which sounded most interesting to me. Your blog name intrigued me. Why did you choose that name?
Anyway, thanks for the chance to win one of the goodies. I am a scrapbooking girl -- the supplies are lovely. :)
Lots of greetings from Germany,
Birgit
Enjoyed visiting your blog and am now following you on Bloglovin! I'd love to win the fabric!!
