Is it just me, but when you’re the busiest, that’s when you want to do crafts more than ever?
Thankfully, Shawna has re-assured me that my behaviour is totally normal. The more I have on my plate, the more I want to do crafts. Even at work, as I’m searching online for books to buy or browsing through publisher catalogues, I’m distracted by crafty books. It’s really quite funny. I [...]

This weekend I finished a single bed sized quilt that I’ve donated to the Fair Aid Society in support of healthcare in the Congo.
If you’re interested in bidding on this quilt (or on the other available items) in a silent auction, come out to the MacBride Museum here in Whitehorse Saturday Nov. 22nd 7pm. [...]

Stage 2 of the Craft Room/Office set-up is taking longer than anticipated
Last night, Brad and I started to assemble the office armoire that I bought from Staples. This was to be the second phase of setting up my tiny craft room/office to better suit my needs. Unfortunately, the assembly took more than anticipated and we’re still working on it. It could be a [...]
Posted by Laurie on April 8th, 2008 under Crafts | Comment now »My new sewing table
After shopping around and checking out some great designs (most of which I couldn’t afford but drooled over, like Sylvia Design Sewing Furniture) I finally settled on the Sauder Sewing Hutch. It fits my budget, it was available here in the Yukon from Canadian Tire, and I like how it can be compacted down [...]

The quilt I gave to my sister at Christmas
I’ve been meaning for months to post this picture and story.
Here’s Sue, holding up the biggest quilt I’ve made to date and her Christmas gift (2007).
There’s actually a really funny story about that quilt. I made it Feb. 2007 and flew down in May for a conference. Since I was already [...]

Brad really outdid himself this year — a really awesome iron!! Now, I can get rid of my crappy iron from the Seventies that I picked up at a garage sale while I was an undergrad. Every time I worked on some craft project, I’d bitch and moan about how much I hated it. [...]
