Yesterday I signed up for a new project on a whim.
I know. I swore off new projects last week. But … I came across some gorgeous imagery on Pinterest and it lead me to The Sketchbook Project 2011 by the Art House Co-op. The name rang a bell [...]
This past weekend I realized I have an awful lot of projects that are WIP, unfinished or just plain sitting around — UFOs (unfinished objects).
So, in effort to finally finish up some of these, I present to you in no particular order (and when I started the project):
My Embarrassingly Long List of UFOs [...]
I always have something cooking. So I’ve decided this is the year that I purge. And by purge, that means I honestly use all of the stuff that I’ve hoarded (ie. art and craft supplies) or they go to a good home or good will.
So, to start the year, I’m going to go through [...]
So I recently got a hold of my hard drive that has ALL of my projects on it from college. My ex-boyfriend had it because he was trying to fix it for me, but didn’t succeed. Well, maybe he did because I got it to work again.
Anyway, I found a lot of my [...]
I’ve got a TON of stuff I have to do this weekend! It’s crazy, but I’m staying in and getting it done!
I’ve got a couple of paying freelance projects so I’m going to blow their minds and try to get a chunk of work done on them this weekend (one of them that’s not [...]
I haven’t updated much lately because I’ve got way too much going on!
Quick updates:
The other designer I work with is leaving next Thursday, so we’ll be down yet another person at work. I pride myself in saying that we hardly ever HAVE to stay late and when I do it’s of my own [...]
I realized that I’ve kind of taken on a lot of projects this month…
Just to keep myself sane and to have some ppl hold me accountable (ie. my oh-so-loyal blog readers), I’m listing them and will hopefully remember I have this list so I can add to it and cross stuff off as things [...]
I can’t ever wait until a project is completely finished OR until I have good pictures of it…I guess I’m super impatient (how I do quilting…don’t ask!)…
I’ve been hoarding this jelly roll of Hello Betty fabric for over a month. I’ve been looking for an easy pattern for a jelly roll [...]
I posted a photo of one of these a while back, but here’s a couple of better photos. I think these do the tops better justice. I made these from 5 charm packs I bought from fatquartershop.com.
I’m scared to death to quilt these myself! I don’t want to ruin them. I want them quilted [...]

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.
