adventure by day. crafts by night.

Posted on April 23, 2024January 1, 2025by sarah

during their stay in winston-salem, jenn and brandy came over several nights, and we participated in all manner of crafting, a favorite activity of the jackson and lidbom girls. more than once, we busted out the paints and glitter and stickers to make cool boxes and treasure chests and other random wooden things procured from […]

march miscellany. 2021 edition.

Posted on April 1, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

In like a lion, out like a lamb. Or at least that’s the saying in Western New York. Pertaining to the weather. Well, it works here for me too. I started out March in a really bad place about teaching. And then, I quit. I gave my notice on March 3rd, spent the next two […]

cinco de mayo, in the time of coronavirus.

Posted on May 14, 2020May 14, 2020by sarah

coronavirus sewing.

Posted on May 14, 2020May 15, 2020by sarah

i have had a complete lack of sewing motivation during the lockdown. which works out, because i also find myself with very little time to sew. even though our lives didn’t change THAT much, i am missing a weekly day with the kids in co-op so i can run errands. and an evening with anna […]

Posted on February 8, 2020February 8, 2020by sarah

in the interest of catching this blog up, i’m lumping together all of my sewing and quilting exploits from october and november (and december if i’m being honest because there was literally NONE in that month). firstly, my pal heather’s birthday is at the end of october and she’s an avid reader. i shrunk down […]

rainbow alternate ending quilt.
(ie: new favorite quilt).

Posted on August 13, 2019August 13, 2019by sarah

so. one other benefit of stationary living is that i have a permanent quilting space. i was able to quilt more than i thought on the road, but it was a bit of work to set up and break down all the time. and, there was no room for fabric storage, so i always bought […]
