Memory Keeping

What’s in a name?

What’s in a name?

The Lucy Bird…Bet your wondering where that name came from. It’s a weird one, but it’s the one that kept coming back to me after “Stephanie Designs” had about zero ring to it.

Oh! Hello There!

Oh! Hello There!

Hello! Let me introduce myself! I’m Steph!

UPDATE: The crime scene is taped off and the crimi UPDATE: The crime scene is taped off and the criminals have been booked.
.
At approximately 9:45 am the call came in 🚨. 
.
Two criminals remained at large after looting The Lucy Bird headquarters (aka basement).
.
Inside job. 
.
Authorities have no reason to believe it could happen to you!
.
After questioning, it turns out the loveys that the gnomes are holding were mistaken for “squeaker toys”. 
.
In what has been recorded as the “squeaker toy heist of 2021” multiple gnomes were damaged and carelessly strewn about. 
.
The carnage was real.
.
Some may never use their legs or feet again 😔.
.
The perps? 
.
They were proud and “showboated” the their loot around the house, tossing it into the air with reckless abandon.
.
It was this evidence that led authorities to the scene.
.
They will be thrown the book. 
.
For further updates please check back. This is an ongoing investigation and details will be made public when available.

Have you ever wondered what I keep in these lockers and how I sort and store my quilting and crafting supplies?
.
Any interest in a blog post on it?
Once the temperatures hit “melting” I was so r Once the temperatures hit “melting” I was so ready for spring!
.
This first batch would be perfect for Easter or could just be “neutral” for spring!
.
I’ve been getting some requests for gnomes that could be used year round (ie not so seasonal looking) and these guys are it!
.
Ps: the lovey I put on them is just attached with a pin, so could be easily swapped out and your gnome could hold something new.
.
These be hitting the shop soon!

A few years ago my husband and I were in Ireland 🇮🇪 cruising the countryside.
.
We took a carriage ride through the Gap of Dunloe and our driver kept calling me “Hey Lady”.
.
“Hey Lady! You want a picture?”
.
“Hey Lady! You look scared” (fact: horses scare the 💩 out of me because they are large, fast and unpredictable)
.
“Hey lady! Are you Irish!?”
.
I told him I was not and then he said something like, “I knew that!” And he proceeded to puff out his cheeks like a chipmunk and he said, “your cheeks are too big to be Irish”
☘️ 
.
I don’t know what that clown totally meant by that, but I will say his gratuity suffered.
.
These tall gangly Irish gnomes are in my #etsyshop and I swear they will NOT give you grief about the size of your cheeks!”
.
They have manners!

I spent the weekend double checking the measuremen I spent the weekend double checking the measurements and she is ready!
.
Full blog post and video on how to make a perfect pinwheel will drop on Tuesday. 
.
There will also be a pattern on how to make a wall hanging that is cute, fun and can be pieced together in less than a weekend.
.
Make sure you check back for ALL the details!

Today my husband and I celebrated double-digit tem Today my husband and I celebrated double-digit temperatures ☀️ by getting out. of. the. house!
.
We ate cheeseburgers and drank beer. 
.
We scoured 2 antique shops and emerged with an arm load of goodies.
.
We hit up a quilt shop and while he was encouraging as he followed me around, it quickly became annoying to have a husband trailing me.
.
So I bought 5 fat quarters and made a mental note to return without him under foot! 
.
He’s a good sport though! This vintage lunch box was one of my finds! 
.
Hope you have double digits ☀️ wherever you are at!!
