About Me


I'm a happy wife and mother, living in a (soon to be pretty) little fixer upper in Waco.

I'm inspired by flowers, items from my childhood, vintage sheets, nature, and copious amounts of lattes. My favorite holiday is Halloween. I also love the beach, thrift-store browsing, and am a voracious reader with a wicked right hook.

I work full time, help my husband restore our home in my spare time, and try to squeeze in various projects in miniature when I can.

You might say my biggest hobby is biting off more than I can chew. :D

(BTW, Rik has gone through surgery just fine and is well on the way to recovery... hooray!) But no. Silly me, I had to continue thinking everything would turn out just peachy with a side of keen.

Eye Candy

It's already February! 1/6 of the year has gone by. I'm not even sure how to begin feeling about that, though I do know I should blog more. Ahem. Anyway, this weekend I went to the Society of American Miniaturists (SAM) birthday party in Austin, Texas. It was great fun meeting many of the ladies I'd heard about, and there were lots of samples of past birthday party projects. Apologies in advance for the photo quality. The lighting in the meeting room wasn't the best, and most of them were in dust cases and I couldn't get away from the reflections. This quilt shop was one of my favorites. I love the way Kendra did the outside of the box.
