This week has been long with few breaks to sew. But I did manage to get started on the Princess room decor banner. This was one of the ideas that was generated earlier this week by a friend and I really had fun putting it together! A bright spot in an otherwise arduous week.

Now to [...]

Today I have a need to “work”. It is not in quotations because I do not take it seriously. It is in quotations because I enjoy it so much that it seems weird to call it work. Sewing is my passion and what I love to do. And after the past few days with a [...]

Sometimes over here at Snugglebug Designs it is pretty slow-going. Momma can be severely sleep-deprived from middle of the night blood sugar checks some days or there are a gazillion errands to run or my new-found zeal about getting back into shape (via P90X) takes up most of my time that used to be used [...]

My mom liked the quilty-thingy I made for my brother so much in “Masculine Yet Snug-Buggly” that she wants two of her own for her couches. Turns out they DO go really, really well with her decor like I thought they would and she didn’t really wanna give it to my brother but, darn [...]

There’s something about finishing a project that has me at loose ends and not sure what to do with myself. It’s not like I don’t have four other (really!) projects that I want to start and a few clothes patterns I want to sew for my daughter. I do. But there is [...]
