Of Planners, Cakes, and Conversations
Do you remember the angel food cake mentioned in Ruined: The Angel Food Cake Saga? While much like its maker the aforementioned cake was tasty and somewhat dense. No, no the maker isn't dense so much as sometimes in a hurry and takes shortcuts that lead to ruinous results. Ah well. Meanwhile I made the… Continue reading Of Planners, Cakes, and Conversations
Ruined: The Angel Food Cake Saga
Baking is my first creative love beginning with the staff of life, bread. Oh how I enjoy kneading the dough until it's just the right consistency then there's that yeasty build up from the moment it goes into the oven when dough and heat combine preparing the bread for consumption. Waiting until the bread has… Continue reading Ruined: The Angel Food Cake Saga
Pardon me While I get a bit Sentimental
It all starts about mid-May every year. Sweet, sweet memories of the beginnings of the preparation for our wedding. Figuring out what we could do. Finding a wedding dress in the City for under my budget. Finding wedding rings. And those oh so comfortable moments when one gets super frustrated because this is a big… Continue reading Pardon me While I get a bit Sentimental
Something shifted; somethings shifting
Before diving into the shifting of it all I am linking over to the Quilt & Tell Podcast. First congratulations to Debby Brown for her cover quilt and article in the upcoming issue of Quiltmaker. It's a stunner. I don't want to get the details wrong so I'm going to share Jay Duckworths Proptologist website… Continue reading Something shifted; somethings shifting

One evening the local television station aired a documentary on Terry Fox who attempted to run across Canada in an… Continue reading Learn to Stitch with Reckless Abandon

After discovering this crack, and the terrible after effects on my sewing studio caused by the emptying out of it all over the sewing studio floor into bins to… Continue reading Oh my goodness this wasn’t easy
Let’s Get Funky
Gratuitous Image to evoke HOT HOT HOT A number of friends local to Central Texas have mentioned that this is unusual weather. First the rain complete with lightning and thunder. Boom! Clap! Queue dripping sinuses from the mold. I did feel like I had moss growing around my feet. Right on the heels of the… Continue reading Let’s Get Funky
What Teri does when she’s learning how to do new to her stuff
https://videopress.com/v/IFaySzml?playsinline=true&preloadContent=metadata On a random day, just after getting the lighting so I can record video for classes and things - I recorded several videos wherein I failed to turn on the microphone. Gaaaahhhh. Now it's just funny and I'm exploring the features of the video editing program. I just posted a new video on the… Continue reading What Teri does when she’s learning how to do new to her stuff
Cascade
That crack at the back of the drawer, splitting the back brace piece explained part of why opening/closing it is difficult. That and the bowing drawer bottoms. Sigh. When I bought this drawer unit it seemed perfect. The drawers are wide, and deep able to accommodate a lot of thread. I did not, however, give… Continue reading Cascade
