Thank you Michele for this super-fabulous-one-of-a-kind-upcycled-denim-sunshiney-pin-cushion. I absolutely LOVE it! You also get a prize for world's tiniest, most adorable handwriting. You caught me just in time, by next week I might not have been able to read it the way things are going with my close-range vision!

Check out Michele's blog. She's on a roll lately with all things tiny and inspiring. That girl is gonna put me in progressive lenses any day now.

Tomorrow is a retreat day for the VMQG gals and a few other friends who will join us. The day before retreats, I am a multi-tasking fiend. So far I've made (since waking up this morning): spinach lasagne, turkey shepherd's pie, fresh salsa, two salad dressings, Southwest quinoa salad, garlic bread and a delicious latte (for immediate consumption - everything else is for tomorrow). Yesterday was baking day: orange Nanaimo bars (we're close enough to Hallowe'en for those), brownies and butterscotch oat cookies (recipe here, thanks e they are divine!).

No one is going hungry on my watch.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. The autumn sun is shining!!

Upcycled Jean Skirt Sewing Command Center

Allow me to introduce the latest in hip sewing machine fashion:

Denim Sewing Control Centre!

It's the Upcycled Jean Skirt Sewing Command Center! I've written a ridiculously long-winded tutorial describing how I made this amazingly useful item from an old skirt and you can read the whole thing (if you don't nod off first) over at the incredibly inspiring corner of blogland inhabited by Michele at Michele Made Me.


It's Drop Dead Denim month! An entire month of fabulous tutorials and links to all things groovy and denim. Please visit and add Michele to your regular reading list. She is my recycling guru and writer of hilarious, yet insightful posts on all things crafty. It is my absolute pleasure to guest post on her blog!
