This beautiful treasury Amazing Grace Grace by  Hagarae made it to etsy’s front page this morning and took my Patchwork Belt in Pumpkin Spice with it.  I received a convo saying that I was included in this treasury on October 3rd, just a few days after we had buried Grandpa.  When I opened it up […]

  I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet!  In August, we went to my cousin Maggie’s beautiful wedding.  The girls wore some adorable Kimono’s from GaiaBaby’s Shop.   They definitely stood out and were adorable doing so! Cedi LOVED dancing! Grandma Van and Cedi dancing together 🙂

During apple season, Thursday night is Grandma and Grandpa sleepover night.  The other morning I told Cedi that she would be sleeping over at Grandma and Grandpa’s and her response was, “Thank you for knowing the location of my wedding!” and she was extremely excited.  I relayed this to Grandma so it was only appropriate […]

I have been completely neglecting my blog, my etsy site’s and pretty much everything not related to apples in my life lately.  BUT, with the dreary weather and the Packer Game on we had a bit of a lull at the orchard.  I was happy to open up etsy and see my Skull and Cross […]

What made you decide to join Project QUILTING? I love Project Runway, so this was a perfect fit for me.  I also made a commitment this year to do something creative every day, and this certainly helped.  Like Kim, I’ve struggled to call myself an artist, but I’ve become a lot more comfortable with introducing […]

  An Interview with Me, Kim Lapacek  What was your favorite part about Project QUILTING? I have been a seller on etsy for about 2 1/2 years now.  I had been finding myself in the rut of “What can I make that will sell.”  Something I should know by now is that it’s nearly impossible […]
