Here is the Snugbug ‘Classic’ – just posts (loosely) pertaining to stitching and related string-theory. With occasional forays into home design and other road trips.

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...

Greetings gorillas! I’m back with more non-sewing news. Today I’m all about craigslist. Actually, this week I’ve been all about craigslist. Mr. Bug and I spent a very satisfying Saturday tooling around Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs picking up battered furniture to stuff into the 1800 extra square feet that we will shortly be...

Greetings owls! Hunters of the night and silent fliers. Put down those mouse snacks! I can’t stand watching you eat live mice! I’ve crawled out of the woodwork to peek around, say hi, and give you an update. Plus, I didn’t want any of you to worry and report me missing to the American...

Good morning bear cubs! I am happy to report we FINALLY listed our sweet little house for sale on Monday. Whew. It’s been a whole lotta painting up in here and I’m happy that it’s finally out there. I can relax and focus on making sure I catch up with my scattered collection of...

Greetings armadillos! As promised, I’ve dropped off the face of the earth, and even though I’m checking in for a little chat, I don’t have much in the way of sewing news to relate. Nevertheless, I thought I’d drop in with an update on the doings around here. So! Last weekend Mr. Bug and...

Greetings robins! It’s alright. Everything’s fine here in Minnesota. You can come back now. We miss you. I will buy worms at the bait shop to feed you until it’s officially spring. And look! I have a spring dress. Sort of. That’s right, at long last, I actually snapped a few poorly lit photos...

Good morning carnivorous plants! I’ve actually got a REVEAL post today, although it is a cheater reveal and nearly two months overdue! So let’s cut the small talk and get down to business, shall we? What I’ve got for you today is a black wool skirt. I know, super exciting, right? Here it is – the...

I think you will all be amused to know that I presented a variety of fabric choices to Mr. Bug for new cushions for our living room. He picked a yellow and white damask print that I had on hand and had made this circle skirt from. That’s right, folks. I will shortly have...

OK. I realize it’s the last day of January. I also realize that we’ve had a freakishly mild Minnesota winter, not even seeing much snow to speak of yet. But it’s been cold. And dark. And in February the sun starts to get all bright and shiny, so I thought it was time to...

Here, the fashion victim lives out her worst nightmare in which she is walking through the mall and suddenly realizes she has forgotten to put on her pants… Seriously, folkses, this is one of those psycho hangs-to-the-knees in the front and doesn’t-cover-the-rump in back sweaters. Love the lines in the front, hate ‘em in...

A little bit of sewing, some how tos, vintage love and a quest for the perfect fit. Hi! I’m Patty, a thirty-something living in Minneapolis with a cute little house, husband and basset hound, 3 cozy snug bugs.
