Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
Good morning you test tube-generated-self-replicating molecules. I don’t care if you learn how to sing Puff the Magic Dragon one day, I’m still not acknowledging that you might be alive. And I’m certainly not getting a bunsen burner and some test tubes so you can live at my house. Freaks of not-nature. Sewing space...

Morning you monarch butterflies, drinkers of dew and frequent visitors to Mexico. In case you don’t keep up with your geography lessons, I want you to know that Minnesota has made you the state insect, while Vermont has only made you the state BUTTERFLY. If I were you, I’d stay away from Vermont. Talk...

Morning bunnies! My, you are a proliferate lot, aren’t you. Could you please stop hopping around and driving my poor hound crazy? One day she actually will catch one of you and I think all involved will be traumatized. She’s more of a lover than a fighter, but you bring her fine, hound instincts to...

Morning, morning monchichi’s! You’re so cute and cuddly!! What a weekend. Was it a weekend for you wild plush monkeys as well? Here in Minneapolis U2 was in town, where they played a giant outdoor show in the rain, establishing their rock-star coolness for 60,000 fans. I was not one of them – neither at...

Morning uniloops! You fierce mythical beasts and stand-ins for D-rings. I’ve been waiting ALL DAY to call you uniloops! Yesterday at the shop Drew, the owners son (he’s 14! he makes quilts!) was making a purse for his mom (awwwww, right?) and it needed D-rings or UNILOOPS!! I’d never heard that word before and...

Morning komondors, you dreadlocked, mop-impersonating Hungarian hunting dogs. I’ve got my eye on you. Two eyes, as often as I can spare them. Today is an exciting day in snugbugland. Another reveal!! I feel like this is a cheater reveal, since it’s another maxi dress, but nevertheless, a reveal it is. With some goofy dress...

Greetings kakapos! You truly have sad lives. Are you owls? Parrots? Who can say. All I know is that your 120 year life span, coupled with your noctournal ways and near extinction must make for lots of long, lonely nights talking to yourselves. Have you considered inter-species relationships? Moving on! I FINALLY got a...

OK, crow-friends. I understand that you probably hate the phrase ‘eating crow.’ But really, it’s a compliment, right? I mean, you taste SO BAD that you got made into an idiom! Just consider what folks think of your intelligence versus, say, chickens. I say this because I was feasting on you yesterday and I...

Greetings star nosed moles. It’s hot here in Minneapolis and we’re all too befuddled to come up with good post titles. This weekend was EXTREMELY productive, sewing-wise, for me. Amazingly so, since it’s near record levels of dew points here (over 80 yesterday!) which means that not only it is it hot, it’s SUPER...
