Happy Leap Day! Did you know that this is the day “for all girls to grab their husbands”? Haha! And it gave us an extra day to make more blocks! And I know it wasn’t because of the extra day, but this month seemed long — maybe because winter. I’m so tired of being cold. […]

I don’t think I’ve ever had to spend so much time and effort merely to survive. And I hope we never have to go through that again. If this old house […]

I’m on a personal mission to beat my last year’s total, so I gotta get off to a good start, right? Again this year, I’m keeping things simple — the rules will remain the same. Anyone is welcome to join […]

The first year we were here for Halloween, I asked My Cowboy: “Do you think we’ll get any trick-or-treaters, or will they think this house is […]

It was a busy month, and my time was so chopped up that there were days when it didn’t even make any sense to try to […]

I didn’t even get all of my messages responded to, and didn’t post any Studio Organizing Challenges, either — it was an insanely busy month. Something had to fall by the wayside, and evidently, that was my blog! Hopefully, I’ll do better […]
54 Comments. Continue Reading...Well, that’s a wrap! I managed to get 87 blocks made this month. My Sticky Buns Challenge really helped, but I will say that I mostly used the challenge to do things like set blocks together and to do things I would normally procrastinate on, so any blocks that came from it are bonus! I […]
