For those that sew, thread is 50% off starting today at Joann Fabric, going through the end of the week (I think). There are other things on sale also, so I would check out the ad and see if anything you need is on sale!
I'm pretty excited about gardening in the spring; I have so many different vegetables planned! I bought some seeds online that should be getting here soon, and we are working on getting the soil into good shape, adding compost and mulch and whatnot, so hopefully this spring and summer we will have a large yield.

Over the Christmas break, my mom helped me make some dog bed covers for our sweet puppies Amy and Chase's beds. I wrote up the pattern, so here is my first free sewing pattern: Amy's Dog Bed Cover. Since this is my first pattern to write up, if anything is unclear or hard to understand, please email me or write a comment. And if anyone feels that it would benefit from some pictures, I can add some. I would love feedback! Enjoy!
I hope everyone had a merry Christmas. My husband and I had a wonderful break from working. It is nice to be able to relax and not think about work! I even got to sew some and plan out our garden for the spring, and I am very excited about both.
I had to put a zoom of the fabric for Chase's because it is so adorable. It even says "good boy!"
I also made a kennel liner for Chase's kennel so that his nails aren't so noisy when he is inside. I used a black denim that I got for free from Craigslist, and used a piece of his bed cover fabric to make a bone cut-out. I sewed a diagonal stitch in white around it, and I love it! The next time I make bed covers, I'm going to add this to those.
I'm writing up patterns for both of these to post as free patterns. If anyone has dogs and wants to try these out, let me know!
I am SO excited about my new sewing desk! And best of all, it was free! Brian and I have been watcing the free list on Craiglist for a while, and last week after church, this desk popped up on the list, and we drove straight there and were the first ones! It belonged to the owner's grandmother, so it is pretty old, but is in very good shape.
The top opens up for a place for the machine to sit and a longer table for cutting fabric! I've been so busy this week I haven't gotten to use it yet, but we finally got it up into the game room so that I am not sewing on the dining room table anymore. I can't decide what to make first!
