I’m not usually one to make new year’s resolutions, but this year I am going to try- plus it gives me something to blog about too;)
Without further ado, here are Jessica’s goals/wishes for 2009:

Blog more- looking better already:P
Remove some of the chinese elms from the backyard and get a vegetable garden built and growing
Finish at [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed crafting in 2008, and I am very glad to have diversified my interests to include knitting and quilting.  This year, I want to relax and work on projects as I feel like it. 
I would like to finish two Mirabilia cross stitches (eek!).  I’m on my way to getting Mirabella done, I was [...]

Well!  It HAS been awhile since I last graced this blog with an update!  See?  This is why I can’t have a blog of my own, and why I can only handle being a guest blogger on Stacey’s blog.  (let’s face it, this is really her blog…)
I, of course, have been sucked into Northrend and [...]

Wow, today is going to be one of those weird days. We’ve had two massive storms hit our city over the past couple of days, and our city is currently designated a disaster zone. Two suburbs over (not 5 minutes from our house) there have been over 40 houses declared unlivable, and another [...]

Haha I’m blogging at work. Yes I have plenty of work to do, but none of it is too pressing! But I couldn’t wait until I arrived home to show what I worked on this morning. I started and finished quilt number 2 for Christmas!
It’s for my [...]

From pin-basting my first (of two) Christmas quilts. It is a huge relief to sit down after spending all that time on the hard floor! If only we had a dining room table that was big enough to baste quilts on!
Anyway, here it is in all it’s unbasted but layered glory.

This has been [...]

Well, we have skipped through Spring, and are in the throes of Summer temperatures here! It’s only the beginning of October and I am already *over* the hot weather…eek! (only 5 more months…only 5 more months…)
I have to say (and it is a pathetic excuse) that the weather, work and Ripley’s [...]

Ok, following Stacey’s update on all her crafty projects makes me feel slack!
You may have noticed that I am not the craftiest person on this blog, so updated project posts from me will probably be a lot, lot, lot rarer…  Just think of them along the lines of collector’s editions, harder to get, but so [...]

It’s been a very busy and tumultuous week. However, I was able to spend a little bit of time crafting….

These bright little squares will be turned into a dress seen on Crazy Mom Quilts
as a christmas gift for my niece.
I have also been working on hourglass squares (I think that’s what they are called?) [...]

I read lots and lots of blogs about quilting, and I dearly wish I could quilt like some of those fantastic ladies. But today I realized I can’t. I think I have managed to wreck my quilt top.
eep.
To resurrect the quilt I will have to pull it completely apart and start again….which would mean [...]
