Two to go....but not tonight Washed the border fabric yesterday and hung it to dry. Ironed it tonight and cut to size. I measured 57 1/2 inches and pinned the top and bottom on. It will be a 6" finished single border. I want the center to be the focus. The print on the border is about the size of the 1" finished squares. This quilt is going to my mom. The entire quilt has a vintage feel to it. No fabrics were purchased specifically for this quilt. Everything was in my scrap bins and from stash on hand. Each square has completely different fabrics. It really was grab from the scrap bins see how much fabric was there, determine where in the "Around the World" it would fit depending on the amount of fabric left and go with it. I found a blue flannel that will work for the backing but the shop just didn't have enough on hand at this time to have just one seam. I will stop back in another week and see if they have more. I want to then embroider or applique the shape of each family members hand around the perimeter of the back of the quilt. it will be for my mom's lounge chair. I just have to have this finished by Christmas. I am trying so hard to stay focused on this project. You have no idea how hard that is for me to do.

Okay, who is up for a Kentucky log cabin on 5.08 acres with Ohio River frontage? The property is part of our Cheap-ish series and features a rustic interior and rural setting where you can channel your inner most Daniel Boone.
Masc-ish is a term for when one's gender expression/presentation is (or feels) masculine in nature, no matter one's actual identity!! These are entirely meant to be an extension of a pre-existing gender (or lack there of)!

We are cabin people forever in our hearts, but now in real life too! We are under contract on a small A-frame-ish cabin nestled in a forest that sits above a sparkling lake. If you have ever spent any time around this blog you know I talk about cabins and cabin vibes a lot. For us, not only are cabins magical little getaway places, but they are beloved, sentimental spaces that on an emotional level DO NOT compare to any other type of man-made structure. I’m sure it sounds hippie-dippie, but these little spaces have become the places where life seems to exist on a more supernatural, chill plane to us. We wanted to have our OWN tiny piece of The Lake. I’ve had a casual Zillow search tuned in for cabins in Western Wisconsin for probably three years now. It was always a someday dream that seemed on the edge of too hard to achieve. Earlier this year we decided that maybe it was time to do an experiment. We slimmed down the budget and started living the day-to-day like we had two mortgages, socking away the money we saved. Too our surprise, we could manage it with a lot more thoughtful spending. This re-evaluation of the budget came at the same time that both Jeff and I began to unplug more often. Mornings before the day starts are spent phoneless, listening to records and chatting about our days before jumping into work. Nights are free of the random screen-thumbing behavior that we’ve been gotten so good at. E-mails can wait. Being in the present has put so much in focus for both of us and hanging with our kids. After lots of serious consideration it came down to our old philosophical friend: YOLO. Having a cabin is something that we’ve wanted so bad, and now have the opportunity to make it happen. We know how to slow down and enjoy what’s happening right in front of us, right now! Could we wait a few years and have a bigger down payment? Prolly. Could we just keep renting cabins and save ourselves the stress? Yeah. BUT, We are cabin people, in our hearts, this is something we’ve dreamed of doing forever. So, just do it already! Then one day in the midst of all this Zen Yolo-gizing, a red A-frame cabin showed up in my feed, and the hunt […]

Winter can’t seem to make up its mind this year. We’ll get one or two cold days and then two or three warm ones and the snowstorms have left little more than powdered sugar dustings. After the record breaking warmth of December, January is now 6 degrees above average and after last winter I’m not…
