http://curingboredom.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. I need a place to keep track of these, so I figured this blog would be a good starting point! I posted about my Christmas sewing projects. A couple of days ago. This is a list of all the projects I've made this year with my trusty sewing machine. So, my wonderful husband heard about a sewing machine sale and sent me off to get a new one. WOW. the newer machines can do so many things! 5 toddler purses ( blue. Pink, and a group of three. 1 queen-sized bed quilt. 2 tea cozies and ...

http://curingboredom.blogspot.com/2010/07/must-keep-sewing.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Must Keep. Sewing. I don't know I enjoy sewing so much, but I get in these little phases where that's ALL I want to do. (Pay no attention to the mess behind me nor to my general physical appearance- the photo above was to send out to Carrie to show her my latest creation.). The bag above is the small size (yes! Mail sack" from Sew Mama Sew's pattern shop- I can't find it listed anymore! I am continuing my quest to "use up the stash" and this bag is a great example of that.

Curing Boredom: My Favorite Apron
http://curingboredom.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-favorite-apron.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. My favorite apron comes from Lotta Jansdotter's book Simple Sewing. I've made almost a dozen of these aprons by now; they take me 2 hours from absolute start (cutting out fabric) to finish (final hand sewing). They're cute, comfy, and reversible.

Dust and Clay: September 2008
http://kerrylj.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
This is who I am. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Terrible twos.I think not. I always have heard about the "terrible twos" as if it is something that we are just to accept and allow in our children's lives- it is normal. How your child will pitch fits, say no, and act completely crazy as they break away and form some new independence that they did not have before. Well to all who believe that behavior is acceptable and normal I have something to say. NO WAY! Through the book study. It is not always easy to ...

Incidentally, this is my friend Megan who hosts Literaritea. I thought of this tea cozy pattern from Sewing in No Time. By Emma Hardy. They turned out well. My neighbor, L...
