Happy Looks Good on You
I flatter myself that someone would pay $1 million for this little beauty, but $1 million is exactly what it would take for me to part with it! Days and days of blood, sweat, and tears went into the making of this lamp! Ok, none of those bodily dramatizations were involved in the … [Read more...]
In my life I have probably bought about 25 bookmarks. I use to really love them when I was younger, even though I wasn't much of a reader in my youth. Go figure.

This afternoon, as I was wishing I could open up the windows and let in some fresh spring air, I decided my table needed a little re-do. Just a little taste of spring. Maybe if I start decorating for spring it'll help it along. Fingers crossed. Remember my three little birds? They've been patiently … [Read more...]
Welcome to The Straight Stitch! This is where we feature a sewing project of some sorts. I want to start by saying that I am not sewing savvy. I only started trying to attempt sewing about a year ago. And even then it was with a group of friends who all have mad sewing skills. (Thanks ladies, you … [Read more...]
