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.
SOOooooo…. Mr. Bug and I had big plans to spend our Memorial Day on nice, productive projects such as garage organizing and putting together our guest room. Those plans were DASHED last night when Mr. Bug found a super-deluxe dog house on a routine Lowe’s trip. We’ve been in the market for one. I’m...

Hey monkies! Some of you might have noticed that the blog has been down for maintenance for a few days. Those of ya’ll familiar with self-hosted wordpress blogs will understand the general, low-level anxiety associated with seeing those multiple updates available. Taunting you whenever you log in to do a new post… Last time...

Clever, eagle-eyed readers might have noticed an allusion to terrariums the other day when I showed off pics of my office. I’d intended to include more detailed photos of our entryway, including my new terrarium, in that post, but it got a little long and the pictures didn’t get included. (The allusion came in...

I spent most of my free time yesterday evening driving to Dallas to pay for my newly acquired, new-to-me, small-sized SUV. Yes! I have wheels! WHERE’S THE FABRIC STORE?? Time not spent on the freeway was spent on nearby streets, in an increasingly frustrating search for a carwash. You’d think with BOTH a voice...

It’s finally here girls! One of this weekend’s projects was to FINALLY undig my new sewing space enough to get it through stages 1 & 2 of unpacking (the just-get-it-in-there-and-organized stages) I still have many slipcovers, feet covers (keep reading) and table skirts to make to get through the 3rd stage of making it...

The unpacking and OCD organizing continues at Snug Bug Texas. I spent most of last night trying to get the sewing room in order, but earlier this week I was all about my pantry. Now… a word about my pantry, my house in general and the real estate market in Dallas. It’s crazy pants,...

Morning monkeys! I’m keeping up with my theme of non-sewing blogging, so if you’re hoping to see a finished sewing project you’re out of luck. Even though I’m not sewing I AM trying to get my sewing room organized. “Trying” being the operative word, as I continue to be very easily distracted by, you...

OK, OK. No dirty laundry. Just last night’s project: organizing our new laundry room. I have an unseemly interest in seeing the insides of YOUR closets, so I figure at least some of you are probably interested in seeing mine! Unpacking continues at a slow pace with both Mr. Bug and I working during...

Alright folks. I’ve made the complete switch to batty house lady. I spend all of my time working, unpacking, organizing or surfing the interwebs, trolling for photos of inspirational decor. That has become my life over the last few weeks. Luckily, I’ve been in this place before and I know that in a few...

Morning folks! Things continue swimmingly down here in Texas. Although, speaking of which, I’ve yet to find any of my bathing suits, so I haven’t actually gone swimming in our new pool, although I like to dangle my feet in it during little work breaks. Truth is, the water is too cold for my...

Morning rubber duckies! I’m happy to let all y’all know that we MADE IT to Texas. Whew. We arrived last Thursday, spent the night in a hotel and Saturday morning we met the movers at the new house for unloading fun. Nothing’s broken, plenty of stuff is misplaced (good gravy, it’s odd having strangers...
