Hello I’m Steph!
I ❤️ to tell stories, sew, scrapbook, paint, woodwork, DIY, and collect junk...
Let’s craft a connection and be friends 👯‍♂️

IT IS FRIDAY!!!! What do you all have planned for

IT IS FRIDAY!!!!

What do you all have planned for the weekend? I’m hoping to continue some much-needed deep cleaning in our house and continue on with some much-deserved crafting and sewing time.
.
I always want to do one of those random get-to-know you posts that I haven’t done in ages, so let’s get started with some quirky things you never thought you needed to know but that I shared anyway!! 🎉
.
1. I’m Steph (you probably knew that) but what you did not know is that my Christmas tree is STILL UP 😑. This is weird for me. I thought about taking it down, but the thought of losing the twinkle made me sad, so I stopped. It’s time though. It is time.
.
2. I keep exactly 769,309 projects going at once. I finish approx 769,299 a year. It’s a solid rate for me that I am happy with. Keeping a list helps.
.
3. I do a lot of things in bursts and flurries, so this year I am hopping on the “power word” or “#onelittleword “ wagon and thusly have chosen “consistent”. I think it will help me plod along.
.
4. I have a milestone birthday this year. I won’t tell you which one except to say every single goal of mine includes “40” in it...like “do 40 acts of kindness a month”....”lose 40 pounds” or “make a list of ways to save $40 a week”. I don’t think I’ve given away my age here.
.
5. I never get political on here but I’m going to go ahead and say it: the Bernie + Golden Girls meme is life. I can’t stop giggling.
.
.
Drop me a note below to say Hi and introduce yourself! You don’t need to tell me your age, but you should tell me your power word for the year! Or any other ideas your have for me that are based on the number 40! I’ll take them under consideration!

I’m working with some brighter and non tradition

I’m working with some brighter and non traditional colors for my block of the month hosted by the @thepin.cushion . So far I am LOVING how it’s looking!
.
I think I want pink to be one of the dominant colors that I pull out throughout.
.
These blocks are from Lori Holt’s book 📚 called #quiltyfun. The fabrics I am using are mostly leftovers from my Farm Girl Vintage 2 quilt, but I also threw in some bright pink and orange.
.
I have 2 more sets I need to get photos of to show you!

Anyone else pack up their @rileyblakedesigns quilt

Anyone else pack up their @rileyblakedesigns quilt fabric into a vintage suitcase to take to your sister’s house for a sew along with mom and sis?
.
No?
.
So then it’s just me then. Digging through my suitcase of fun fabric gives me more happiness than a dog getting a belly rub.
.
Drop a comment below? What’s making you happy on a cold winter weekend?

SHOP! IS!! OPEN!!!!!

These Valentine’s gnomes are (in my humble opinion) THE CUTEST ONES YET!! Each of these sweet gnomes are ready for a new home, and because VDay is all about love and friendship, they each ship out with their favorite lovey ❤️ 💜

The number one comment I get about these is “I can’t believe how tall they are!” You can see in my shop that I use a wine bottle 🍷 for comparison purposes.
.
Hop on over and check them out! I am smitten, and I think you will be too!!

Valentines gnomes will be listed for sale soon!

Valentines gnomes will be listed for sale soon!

I’m in love with these guys so much that it will be sad to see them go! The shoes are the cutest I’ve EVER found AND the 🍒 on top is that these guys asked to travel with their lovies.

Yes, every gnome will ship with their best stuffed animal on their arm and in their heart!

I started last year with a list of 10 projects that I had previously started but were sitting unfinished.
.
This Camper Collage mini quilt by @fiberworksquiltshoplauraheine was one of them.
.
I am SO SO happy I got this one done and tackling a new collage quilt in 2021 is on my list of quilting resolutions.

Do you set goals for your quilting? I do!

I’ve found that writing things down and hanging the list up kept me focused on what I had versus just buying up more.
.
I’ll for sure be doing this again in 2021.
.
Drop a comment below! What is one project you hope to tackle in 2021?

The new year always brings out the industriousness

The new year always brings out the industriousness in me.
.
Roughly translated: I try to get organized only to find I make a bigger mess.
.
I did buy some new organizing containers....so there’s that. AND I sorted through a tub or fabric and I folded it!
.
Yay for me!
.
You guys, I have so many fun things I am going to share with you this year!
.
I’m glad you’re here and I hope you stick around (unless you’re a creeper or a bot...).
.
PS: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And the winner winner chicken dinner of the best of the best quilt blocks is.....the simple tried and true log cabin!
.
Turns out when log cabins are itty bitty they are the ultimate of cuteness! Almost as cute as a puppy, but not quite. Ya hear me?

I shan’t leave you hanging! I KNOW you want to know what came in at #2!
.
Wait no more! It’s this cute one! And it’s one of my favorites too!
