Yay … I broke down and ordered more fabric. I probably shouldn’t have because my stash is kind of ridiculous, but I needed some new stuff. I had a custom request come through Market Day last week for a black and white wallet. I didn’t have any wallet-worthy black and white fabric. [...]
… a growing pile of new camera cases I’ve been crafting. Look at all those fun fabrics. Lots of my favorites in there … and a lot of them are the last bits of some of my favorites. I’m looking forward to making things from the leftover scraps.
It’s been a while since I made anything, so I decided to make a few things last night.
I haven’t had much of a chance to unpack since the move, and thus, not much of a chance to decorate. I bought some vintage (or at least used) frames from Salvation Army [...]
I’m still working through Denyse Schmidt Quilts and I’ve decided to make one of the actual QUILTS instead of one of the mini projects.
As you’ve probably noticed, I’m kind of in love with square blocks created from strips (mendocino, wonky log cabin and repro fabrics). They’re easy. They’re [...]
Just in case you were wondering, I ACTUALLY finished a project. Meet my new best friend: My Dayrunner.
Ta. Da. Is it ironic or coincidental that one of the first projects I’ve actually finished in [...]
I’ve been obsessed with Wonderland by Momo ever since it came out. So, I’ve started working on two new projects with what I’ve got left.
I bought a jelly roll a while back and decided to make Thea’s Puzzle Quilt (a pattern by Amy Butler). I’ve got the middle section done, so [...]
… I was on vacation in Chicago last week … but I managed to sweatshop some lovely camera/iPod/electronic cozies. They’re not quite finished, but here they are in the making.
I decided that before I [...]
I’ve been reading the Denyse Schmidt Quilts book that Adria let me borrow and saw the heating pad project and just HAD to do it. I hardly make anything for myself, but it annoys me that I have my heating pad out in the middle of my living room [...]
Again, going through my scrap box and found some scraps that Adria had given me from her Hello Betty quilt. I had enough left to make a large block and I decided to finally cover the 18″x18″ pillow form I’ve had lying around.
I did another wonky log cabin [...]
I’ve been working through my fabric scraps and I came across the Heather Ross Mendocino scraps that Adria had given me a while back. She had leftovers after making a really cool mendocino quilt.
Here are a few of my favorite ones … They’re 5″x6″

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
