Necessary Repairs
When you have a favorite pair of jeans that fit just right you don't want to just toss them due to a little hole or two. I would rather repair them... So I salvaged a old pair of my husband's jeans for patches. You can see how wearing them with this tear wouldn't be decent for very long... S...
that is it exactly! It takes so much time to find another pair that fits! I would prefer to stay home (especially now that it is so cold outside!) and sit under a warm blanket and do a few stitches here and there.

Hi Susan! Thank you so much! It isnt slippery. We have an old fashioned linoleum floor with fine groves in it so the mat stays put on it. Our bathroom floor is the original from when our home was built. It is so old that it will soon be back in style I am sure! It works very well and since I am a stay at home mom we dont have a fortune sitting around to remodel...

My first born is now 10 years old! Today was his birthday. My husband is just getting ready for a long soak in the tub now after all the festivities. When he steps out of the tub this the new bath mat where his squeaky clean toes will end up on. I used Amy Butler pre-cut charms, sewing t...

I Love Where I Live
I mentioned some time ago that we moved last spring. We used to live in a neighbourhood that was nestled next to the Coquitlam River. We had our little river bank spot that we would visit each season and the woods that we would take walks in. Realizing how much we love nature, we move...
Hi karin!
Great to hear from you! Thanks for your nice words! No, we dont have wooden floors in our bathroom. I tried to photograph it in the bathroom but the light there is terrible and the colors on the pictures then turned out all wrong. So I photogrpahed it in the livingroom instead next to the window.

Hi Heidi!
Hey, that was nice to hear that you got inspired by this humble project! I never use any iron-on stuff behind my appliqués. I find the iron on things a bit tedious, just another extra step. I simply pin it where I want it and stitch. It seems to work well enough.

Lady Luck and salvaging embroidery
Embarassed to say that I once again won a blog give away... I guess I should head to Los Vegas or buy lottery tickets, becuase lady luck is really on my side! The pretty polka dotted wrapping and gorgeous ribbons really made this special! Thank you so much Karin! I hope to make something fro...

Tuesday Through My Window
Tuesday Through the Windows is officially over at Swedish House but how could I not share this. The colors in my garden are so intense I can almost taste them. Though there is a bite in the air I still feel the warmth of the sun on my face. These are the views from my kitchen window. To...
Oh, Thank you Amanda! I am blushing, because we dont have a TV and I am hopelessly clueless as to what program you are writing about? Is it a crafty program? hugs from Emily xo

Red and White Delight
My son made this masterpiece! He loves crysatals. These are made by mixing lots of epsom salts with water on the stove until it dissolves, then insert a pipe cleaner or two in the shape you desire. Let it sit overnight. If all goes well you get some awesome sparkly and glittery crystals. ...
I am working on my 4th quilt. None of them have been very big though. :)

A Happy Blog Anniversary Give-Away
A Place Like This is three years old and almost 400 posts done. Something like this needs a bit of a celebration don't you think? First off, there is a new design to the blog. For the most part it's finished but I will still be tweaking a few things on it yet. This is a two-part give away. The ...
Well, Melissa, when a fat quarter costs about $7.50 it gets easier to be strong. Yes, that is the price in Norway! (It might be actually 1/3 meter, but still, it is so pricy compared to US prices!)

Sorry for being gone for awhile! I have had days of headaches. I will spare you the painful details, but I thought I would share some eye candy with you today to make up for my absence! First a lovely late bloom from our back yard, and then I show you goodies from a recent quilting night. Ann...

Fabric strips to pouch
I bought 5 pounds of retro fabric strips. Am I crazy? A big box of cut up fabric... It made me smile and I made this: I decided I wanted to make a pouch. I now have two new pouches in my shop! Now what I am going to do with the other 4.5 odd pounds of strips???
Thanks so much Valarie! I would love to make pillows with some of these strips...

Happy Birthday to you dear Melissa! I hope you will find the 30's to be ever so delightful! I must say they were a wonderful decade, quite a relief actually after the more stressful 20's. Hugs to you!

It's my 30th birthday today, and I've had a really nice time with friends and family. And also, I've had lots of treats and kindness shown. Thank you, everyone. I was a bit nervous about turning 30 because it seems properly grown-up, (and also, I happen to remember my parents turning 30), ...

Melissa, I never thought of braiding them. Really cool! Maybe I will try that. Then what shall I do with the braids???

Hi Yvette!
Yes, those are cables, probably quite the wasted effort since cables are so hard to see on black. I think the cables will keep me warmer though, it seems to thicken the knitting nicely. My cables are really simple too. The complicated ones I have done before and they aren't so hard, in my opinion, they just take a long time!
hugs to you too!

I am making another hat. It will be for me. The kids both have oodles of hats and mittens but not me. My wardrobe needs a little lift. Well, honestly, it could use a huge lift, but this hat will help me on the way to being warm. I found three skeins of this wonderful fine wool at a flea mark...

The children have two weeks at home, starting today. Keira spent an hour at the park next door, carefully collecting these stray daisies. I love the holidays.
