I too painted our house a lovely shade of grey, Benjamin Moore "Old Prairie" which surprized and delighted me; surprized as I usually gravitate towards a colour and I was delighted with the result! A great backdrop for all of our furniture - old and new. Plus black & white photography looks fantastic!
Have a great rest of the summer!
New-ish house
Okay, well it isn't actually new, but it sure feels new! Last month we got new doors. Our house came with flat personality-less builder's grade everything doors and we've wanted to replace them for 3 years now. Finally (thanks Dave!) we have new doors! Since they needed to be painted, ...

I love your site; it is my homepage when I open my web browser and it is a good choice. I will have to take a closer look at Joel Dewberry fabric designs! Thank you for showing them to us.
I must say that I understand the 'healing powers' of sewing, housework or to use a fancy term 'craft' in our day to day lives especially when coping with other stresses. I know it works for me and afterwards, I can look at the 'quilt' or 'skirt' or 'apron' or 'new curtains', and think to myself..."ah yes, that was when I was really upset about....." It really does help me get 'through' things, and it is a positive stress relief!

Monday and Tuesday were not good days for me....
Monday and Tuesday were not good days for me. Yesterday was slightly better. The sun is shining. I'm considering it a sign that all will be right today, too. I have a lot racing through my mind. We are getting ready for a construction project and it's commandeering most of my thoughts. T...
I saw this tutorial and I just had to make one!! What a cute way to use up scrap material. The only alteration that I made was to add a flap that covered my zipper: I folded a 4" wide scrap that is the length of the coin purse; pressed wrong sides together lengthwise and lined it up against the raw edge in STEP ONE - then I sewed the zipperd per your instructions. When it comes time to sew the side seams, I was sure that the FLAP was folded over the exposed zipper teeth. It looks kind of cool, and then of course I wasn't able to add the ribbon because the flap was in the way, so instead I added a zipper pull made of yarn.
Love your site/blog - it is just great. Wished I lived closer and I would love to participate in the classed listed!!
Your Canadian fan, Darlene
