CIRCUS!
I have been crazy busy lately and all I seem to get done is piecing more quilt tops. I honestly can’t seem to stop sewing – which is a good thing but I’ve been getting really far behind in blogging, listing and other everyday things that need to be done. Anyway, tonight I decided to […]

Alchemy’s Last Day
Today was Alchemy’s last full day with me. I thought I’d show her how to make a few rings and earrings like the ones I sell at TheApple. First we had to spread out the supplies. I typically create jewelry in the basement but since the girls were gone I decided that we would work […]
Alchemy Learns to Quilt
Enough with the apple orchard and the traveling – Alchemy was ready to try out quilting! I’d have to say she did a pretty good job. Here she is getting acquainted with my new baby – a Pfaff. My real baby, the Janome is in the shop for maintenance but I’ve been really happy […]

Alchemy – the Traveling Meerkat has Arrived at Lapacek’s Orchard
I joined the etsy treasury team (etteam) back in 2009 and it’s been nothing but fun ever since. When I first heard about NiftyKnits plan to send two of her adorable meerkats on a trip around the world to visit various etteam teammates I signed up immediately. After months of waiting – Alchemy finally arrived […]
I can do it MYSELF!
I’m guessing that my mom would disagree but Capri is definitely the most stubborn independent child I’ve ever met. She’s just two and insists on doing everything HERSELF. “No Help!” I took a ‘picture’ story of her putting her shirt on the other day… Starting over… Cedi was not being very helpful. DONE! Yeah […]
