I’ve not made many chocolate cakes in my day, but I was determined to find the perfect recipe for Valentine’s Day. I looked high and low for recipes online that would yield a rich, satisfying result. When I came across this flour-less chocolate truffle cake, I knew I had found The One. I have […]

I’ve switched fabric vendors and am happy to introduce several new, gorgeous colours! The Coda has been getting a lot of interest as bridesmaid dresses for spring weddings. I love this fabric and it’s perfect for the stretchy versatility of this wrap dress. Ringing in the new year with beautiful new fabric options sounds good […]

I’ve had to wear glasses and contacts for years now, but I’ve always hated how much they cost. A few weeks ago, my glasses broke and I was ready for a new pair. I couldn’t stomach the thought of spending over $100 in a store that sells glasses, so I checked out several sites online […]

I am thankful for life, love and all that is beautiful. I am thankful for health and family. I am thankful for purpose and a clear path. More than anything, I am thankful for an incredible Father who has blessed me more than I ever deserved and loved me despite my many shortcomings.
Happy (American) Thanksgiving.

I am so excited to show off my shop’s new look! My serger is still being repaired, so I’ve posted some crocheted items from last fall and added new ones too. Chris and I were up late last night taking new photos and I love them. My plan is to sell some of the crocheted […]

Sister is here! She came in on Sunday night and will be staying with us for a few days. Yesterday we went to Lookout Mountain and Buffalo Bill’s grave (which, apparently, isn’t where he is really buried). The view from this mountain is beautiful. You can see downtown Golden, Denver, the International airport and miles […]

A dear friend of mine is having a baby any day now and I wanted to get some photos of her room before it is inhabited. I think it’s the most little-girl-looking room I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s adorable. The colours and textures all waiting to wrap and comfort a tiny, fragile […]

As much as I make fun of my mother’s incessant planning, lately I’ve been making some of my own. Instead of waiting for that ever illusive “extra time” that seems to bless some more than others, I’ve set specific days of the week for sewing, music, painting and such. My weeks have been much more […]
